What to expect when you serve

When you serve with us at SERVE 6.8, there are a few things you can expect:

You will be asked to sign a liability waiver and check in for your shift.
When you arrive, you will be greeted by one of our team members! This may be Ashlee, Krista, or one of the many team members of SERVE 6.8.
Before work begins, we will take a moment to explain what you are doing and why you are doing it. No matter what you are doing with us, the work you are providing is helping us reach our larger mission and vision in the community.
We will take a moment to pray for the day.
Then, we will release you to serve!

Do I have to be a Christian to serve with you?

No, you do not have to be a Christian to serve with us. But, we are a Christian organization that represents 42 Jesus loving churches throughout Northern Colorado.

Our heart is to provide a space where anyone can encounter Jesus, if they so choose and we ask you respect our faith and the Church partners that make this ministry possible.

When you arrive, you will be asked to sign our statement of service (listed below). If you can agree to this statement, then we would love to have you!

Statement of Service: SERVE 6.8 is a partnership of churches who follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. We respect everyone’s personal beliefs and wish to provide space for people to encounter Jesus if they so choose. We therefore ask, that whatever your personal beliefs, you respect the beliefs and the mission of the churches who make this space possible.

Additional Safety Precautions

The safety of the SERVE 6.8 Team is of highest priority. Please ensure to follow our additional safety precautions during this season.

Please do not enter the Resource Center if:

You exhibit any symptoms of sickness
You have recently travelled to high-risk areas

Please help us by following these safety guidelines:

Wash/sanitize hands often
Maintain 6ft distance between others
Clean and sanitize high use surface areas often

Can My Kids Serve?

Most of the time, yes! We would love to have your children serve alongside you. There are a few guidelines that we must follow to keep everyone safe.

Any children under the age of 14 must serve alongside a parent or guardian and are only allowed to participate in approved activities. These activities include: sorting/restocking clothing or food, cleaning, packing Christmas toys, etc. Unapproved activities include: moves, construction/disaster projects, unloading trucks/pallet organization, anything with heavy lifting or machinery, etc.
Teens between 16 and 18 may serve without a parent, but must have a parent sign a liability waiver on their behalf beforehand.
If you bring your children to serve with you, they must remain by your side.

If a parent is unable to follow these guidelines, they will be asked to leave for the day and if it's consistently an issue, to no longer bring children with them to serve.
