Called to Serve – Using Our Gifts for God’s Glory
At Garston Community Church, we believe that every believer has been called and gifted to serve. The Lord not only saved us from sin and death but also for a purpose — to walk in the good works He prepared in advance. Church is much more than a Sunday service, its a life serving God. Its about making a real impact and changes in the life of others and for this we need all the body of Christ to all serve. You were saved and called for a reason.
“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:10
We serve because Christ first served us, and when we offer our time, talents, and resources, we glorify Him and strengthen the Body of Christ.

Financial Partners & Fundraising
If you have a heart for giving, or a gift of generosity and stewardship, your contribution is just as vital. Some are called to support through hands, others through resources — both are holy and honoured.
“If your gift is giving, then give generously.” Romans 12:8
As a financial partner, you help:
Sustain the mission and ministry of the church
Fund community outreach, gospel initiatives, and support for those in need
Support building maintenance, equipment, and utilities
Enable us to plan ahead and invest in the future of the next generation
You may also feel led to help us raise funds, manage donation drives, or support practical needs in creative ways. If so, we would love to speak with you.
Why Serve?
“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” 1 Peter 4:10
From the quiet act of sweeping the floor to leading a worship song — every part matters. The Church grows when everyone plays their part.
