Serve
As Christians, we are called to have an outward focus, to see the needs of our neighbours and to serve others in both big and small ways. Jesus not only calls us to serve, but is also our example.
At King’s, we want to foster an attitude of service; we want to be people who are concerned with the needs of others. An attitude of service might open your eyes to struggles of your fellow students or to the needs of a family that has recently immigrated. You might find yourself leading a discussion in a prison, coloring with a young girl at the Mustard Seed, digging ditches in Honduras, or holding an orphan in Kenya. There is no shortage of needs in our world-just a shortage of people willing to live lives of service.
So, get involved! Find ways to serve during your time at King’s.
Service Opportunities Through King’s:
The King’s Hands
The King's Hands is an outreach group in which students find various ways of serving the community with a humble and Christ-like spirit. We provide meals for our inner city families through the Mustard Seed Ministry, as well as sharing God's love through blood drives, clothing drives, and hospital visits.
Club Leader: Lisa Kaastra
Prison Ministry
One Sunday a month, a group from King’s leads worship and Bible study at the Edmonton Young Offenders Centre. They are also looking for people to lead a Bible Study on Tuesday nights. If this sounds like something you’d like to be a part of, contact Ken Timmerman.

Micah Action/Awareness Student Society (MASS)
