Summer Congregation-Based Service

 

What if you could spend the summer discovering what it really means to love?

You know the kind of love that comes from serving side by side with someone who is nothing like you, cooking a meal for a homeless woman, negotiating how you share living space with people you don't even know. And maybe even confronting the challenges and triumphs life throws your way and then reconciling them with what you believe about God.

Certainly not a typical summer. And one you won't easily forget.

 

Change your Life. Change the World

In collaboration with the United Church of Christ, the Alliance of Baptists will launch the Summer Communities of Service program in the summer of 2010. The Summer Communities of Service program is a mission-learning opportunity that will place young adults, ages 19-30, in host congregations across the country. The young adults will live in intentional Christian community as they serve as volunteers four days a week in a hands-on capacity with a local ministry connected with a congregation, an existing domestic Alliance mission partner, or a community agency committed to social justice. Participants will receive a $1000 stipend, housing, health insurance, and a food/transportation allotment. Orientation will be June 2-4 in Raleigh, NC and dates of service at their host sites will be from June 5 to August 14.
