In partnership with churches, associations, your state convention, and SEND Relief, the Serve Tour seeks to inspire you to engage in compassion ministry through participation in ministry projects in Virginia Beach. Our plan is to find ways to meet needs and bless churches, schools, local governments, and compassion ministry non-profits. In addition, we want to strategically help local revitalized churches and bless bi-vocational pastors by providing assistance.
We want to make it easy to bring people together in Jesus’ name to make a difference.
Our goal is for the Serve Tour to become a unifying opportunity for Southern Baptists to demonstrate to a watching city who we are and more importantly, who our Savior is. As believers swarm the city, we will provide pre-trip training guides and a 30-day prayer guide to help you take your next step on missions.
What will you do?
You will begin each day of Serve Tour at the River Oak Church hub. The address is 255 Great Bridge Blvd, Chesapeake, VA 23320. Your project leader will give you instructions each morning of the Serve Tour.
Project details:
Hickory Ridge Community Church believes that meeting the physical needs of their neighbors is an essential way to demonstrate God's love. The "No Bucks" van is an outreach designed to bring sandwiches, hot beverages (coffee, hot chocolate, tea), and blankets to those who are homeless, particularly in areas where they routinely gather. This ministry isn’t just about providing a meal—it’s about offering hope, connection, and the love of Christ in the midst of their struggles.
The goal of this project is to meet immediate needs for nutrition and warmth while also creating space for listening, prayer, and sharing the gospel. Volunteers will take time to hear the stories of individuals, share the gospel, and pray with those who desire, and assist those who are interested in learning more or connecting with a church find a place of belonging and growth.
