ServeDenver

Pathways Church seeks to provide opportunities to serve in both the local and international communities. Our mission is to help people become passionate, devoted followers of Jesus Christ through wholistic acts of service, both locally and internationally, in a spirit of partnership and submission.

As one of our five core purposes, Pathways Church views serving as integral to living a life of faith. We offer a variety of serving opportunities - ranging from one-time to long-term commitments - to help meet the needs of the community.
