Service plays an important role at Georgetown CRC whether done individually, as families, or as a church. Children learn to begin serving as part of the Children's Ministries (Kingdom Kids, GEMS/Cadets, Turning Point). Our High Schoolers participate in a wide variety of serve projects, including recent trips to places like Lake City, MI, Brooklyn, NY, Chicago, IL, and Guatemala (summer 2010 & 2011). Adults of all ages serve through our church and through other community organizations.
Annually, members of Georgetown participate in a church-sponsored serve project, often in an area where our missionaries work. In the past few years, we have served in the Dominican Republic, in Guinea, in Mexico, and in Honduras. In 2006, we stayed closer to home and sent several groups to Mississippi to assist with the hurricane recovery/repair efforts. In 2008, we helped send a High School group to West Virginia. In 2009, we sent a group of 25 people to Guatemala with Paradise Bound Ministries. In July 2010, we sent a group to work in Inez, KY with Appalachia Reach Out. In 2011 we sent a group to work with a missionary we support in Guinea. We also have a mixed aged group trip planned for Guatemala later this summer (August 2-9, 2012).
Financial support is available for those who wish to serve locally, throughout the United States, and internationally through the Individual Serve Fund, based upon Georgetown's Individual Serve Fund Policy. Georgetown members interested in using the funds to help support a serve trip needs to submit a Request for Serve Funds form to Andrea Dieleman, Director of Outreach. Requests are reviewed by the Outreach Team at their meetings which are held on the second Tuesday of each month. Please submit forms at least 1 week prior to the meeting whenever possible.
