Local Impact
Focus Areas
2RC focuses its Local Impact efforts on addressing the physical and spiritual needs of people and communities surrounding our campuses. By loving our neighbors in this way, we represent Jesus and open ways to share the Gospel through both word and deed. We primarily create these opportunities to serve through Serve Saturdays, strategic partnering with campus-specific charities, and encouraging service by individuals and/or groups.
Serve Saturdays
Three times a year, we hold Serve Saturdays where we send out our members to complete service projects in the communities around each campus. Individuals and groups can identify their own projects or select them from a list compiled by 2RC staff.
