Life change happens together, but not just in your group. It also happens when your group moves into action by being the Church. This is where Groups That Serve comes in, because it’s an opportunity to be the Church and cultivate a heart of service in your group. It’s a moment to take your community and impact others in the name of Jesus. The best part is that Groups That Serve is year-round!

There are thousands of ways your group can serve others. Some of those ways may include financial costs your group can’t support. That’s where Groups That Serve comes in. We want to help fund your group’s serve projects to make a Kingdom impact.

How does my group participate in Groups That Serve?

Step 1: Identify a Need Where You Can Serve Relationally

Look for a person/organization within the sphere of influence of your group members. From there, identify how your group can serve them relationally. If you need help planning your group’s serve project, there is a How To Plan A Serve Project Guide available.

Step 2: Fill out the Groups That Serve Form

This form will gather the logistics, request funds IF needed, and how your group plans to serve together. Northside’s Outreach team will monitor/approve these requests and follow up with any questions. If needed, they can offer some local outreach partners and/or redirect to our Care Ministry’s benevolence process.

STEP 3: PICK UP YOUR VISA GIFT CARD & log into your account

Once approved, the Group Leader will receive an email letting you know the amount approved and give you access to your project toolbox along with the link to sign up your group members. This can all be found in your profile on the right hand side under Active Projects. When your visa card is ready you will receive an email letting you know and how to pick it up. Be sure to check out the video that goes over how to use your Team Leader Toolbox.

Step 4: Share Your Story

We want to celebrate what God is doing through your group with you. One day after the project you as the Group Leader will get an email with a form to fill out and this will help you share the story. After you submit the form you will get a confirmation email that it was submitted successfully and it will point you to share pictures or videos.
