Everything we do as a church SPEAKS, so the question is not if we are sending a message but, what message are we sending in the way that we serve at Salt City.

Go above and beyond when serving others: Turn problems into positive experiences.
Serve with joy and gratitude: Serving is a privilege, guard your heart against criticism, complaining and gossip
Serve with pure motives, not to be seen or recognized
Serve from the overflow of a growing relationship with Jesus: You can't give what you don't have.
Show up when I’ve committed and give my best
Remember that serving is worship and reflects Christ to others
