10 Ways to Serve Others

To serve God is to serve others and is the greatest form of charity: the pure love of Christ.


1. Serve God Through Your Family
To serve God starts with serving in our families. Daily we work, clean, love, support, listen to, teach, and endlessly give of ourselves to the members of our family.  As we lovingly give of ourselves to our family, and serve them with hearts full of love, our acts will also be counted as service to God.

2. Give Tithes and Offerings
 Money from tithing is used to build God's kingdom upon the earth. Contributing financially to God's work is a great way to serve God. 

3. Volunteer in Your Community
There are countless ways to serve God by serving in your community.  You can easily become involved in your community, it only takes a little effort to contact a local group, charity, or other community program.

4. Donate Clothing and Other Goods
All throughout the world there are places to donate your unused clothing, shoes, dishes, blankets/quilts, toys, furniture, books, and other items. Generously giving of these items to help others is an easy way to serve God. When preparing those things you are going to donate it is always appreciated if you only give those items that are clean and in working order

5. Be a Friend
One of the simplest and easiest ways to serve God and others is by befriending one another.

6. Serve God by Serving Children
So many children and teenagers need our love- and we can give it!

7. Mourn with Those that Mourn

8. Share Your Talents

9. Simple Acts of Service
Sometimes all it takes to serve God is to give a smile, hug, prayer, or a friendly phone call to someone in need.
