Mission is using all of my life to help people discover and experience the availability of the kingdom of God through the person and work of Jesus.
Serve the Region is part of how we walk this out through short-term projects with long-term impact.

Anyone who wants to use their time, experience, passions, or skills to serve can express interest in joining the Serve the Region community.
You don’t need professional experience or specialized abilities. Some opportunities require specific skills, while many simply require a willing heart and a readiness to serve.
Joining the Serve the Region Community doesn’t commit you to every project or register you for specific opportunities. It means you’ll receive Serve the Region updates by email and/or text to let you know when projects become available. You can then review the details and decide whether it’s the right opportunity for you!
Understanding your passions, skills, professional experience, certifications, languages, spiritual gifts, and areas of life helps us connect the right people with the right opportunities.
Not every project will require specialized experience, but knowing more about your skills helps us respond when a school, city, nonprofit, or community leader has a specific need.
Projects are shaped by the needs shared with us, so every opportunity may look different.
Projects could include:
Some projects require a large team, while others may need only a few people with specific experience or skills.
After joining the Serve the Region community, you’ll receive project opportunities and updates by email and/or text.
Each invitation will direct you to the private Serve the Region project page, where you can learn more about the project and register if you’d like to participate.
No. Joining the Serve the Region community and registering for a project are two separate steps.
The interest form adds you to the community, and you’ll register for specific projects as they come up.
You’ll receive a confirmation email after registering for each project, and you may be added to a specific GroupMe or receive additional texts about important details depending on the size and needs of that project.
Projects may happen throughout North Texas, since Serve the Region isn’t organized around serving only the communities closest to a particular Valley Creek campus. This means the location of the serving opportunities aren’t limited by your specific campus.
Participation requirements will vary by project. Some opportunities may be appropriate for families, while others may have age limits or require specific experience. Any specific guidelines will be included in the project information.
Because we want to listen and respond well, projects may not occur on a fixed schedule. Serve the Region is a year-round initiative, and opportunities will be shared as meaningful needs emerge and projects are developed.
Yes. If you know of a community leader, school, city, nonprofit organization, or meaningful need that Serve the Region should explore, email [email protected].
Sharing an opportunity doesn’t guarantee it will become a project. Our team will listen, learn more, and determine whether and how Valley Creek can serve.
We value having trusted and influential community leaders who understand the people they serve and invite us into meaningful opportunities. Contacts for projects may be school leaders, city officials, nonprofit leaders, ministry leaders, or others who are already working for the good of their community. We value opportunities to come alongside them to help advance the vision and work God has entrusted to them.
In this season, we’re currently using the Next Steps Center to train and mobilize hope carriers. This is where we equip teams for Serve the Region projects and mission trips around the world.
That’s okay! Visit the missions webpage to learn about other ways to carry hope to our neighbors and the nations.
