I want to serve the Lord more but the problem is that my church is very small and I rather do something outside my church but what can I do? I tried getting involved something in college but I almost got sucked into a cult. So I need something more close to God but safe as well. Let me know if you have any ideas or any websites so I know I can get involved.

Hi :wave:

What are you looking to be involved in in particular? How about missions or outreach in your area? I know you mentioned your church was small but maybe your minister could suggest some organisations etc. which you might be able to get involved with?

I don't want to get involved with anything in my church right now because were going through a hard time (long story). I wonder if theres like a christian outreach center or something so I can go help. I wouldn't mind voluntering my time to helping others in any area.

Look in your local paper. Ours has many ads from other churches and Christian groups needing volunteers. Try volunteering for a food bank or the salvation army or a thrift store. All those are great ways to work within the community in a Christian way. Soon enough shelters and soup kitchans will be filling up as the poor and homeless are trying to get out of the cold and get a meal, a soup kitchan is a lot of work but it's a great way to feel like your really doing something.

It's not the size of the church, but the quality of the people.

since you mentioned college, how about Campus Crusade for Christ? (http://www.ccci.org/)
