The church has always been called to serve its local community. This is part of what it looks like to be the hands and feet of Jesus where He has placed us. It is our desire to have deep and meaningful relationships with our neighbors, where we can help provide for practical and spiritual needs.
It is through this commitment and service to our local community that we earn the right and privilege to share the good news of the Gospel and empower others to love and follow Jesus.
This is the mission of Serve Arlington - serve the needs of our city and share the good news of Jesus!
Partnerships
Below are the partnerships that Portico Church has established with Serve Arlington. It is our hope that every one of our members can get in on what God is doing in our city by serving one or more of the opportunities provided by these partners. This is one way we embody our values of empowered discipleship, generous hospitality, and gospel influence, and share the love of Jesus with others.
