Serve The Community

Interested in serving in our local community, encountering those who live in Bryan/College Station, and sharing the love of Jesus with them?  Many people in our community are thirsting for love and to be seen.  There are countless individuals here in BCS living in poverty, living alone, and struggling to know the love of Jesus. There are many opportunities to give back to those here in our own community!

ACT organizes various service projects throughout the year ranging from a Bible study at the homeless shelter, to volunteering at the soup kitchen or at the food pantry,  sharing a meal with homeless people in a park, as well as helping with special projects at St. Mary's. 

Service opportunities through St. Mary's are only open to college students
attending Texas A&M or Blinn College.
