INDIVIDUAL VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature, rather, serve one another in love. The entire law is summed up in a single command: "Love your neighbor as yourself." Gal 5:13-14 There are many ways that you can get involved with existing organizations to make a difference in the lives of others. Below are a few of the organizations providing volunteer opportunities for Christian service. Please share your ideas with us on other great service ministries so we can expand this list.
