Mission Statement: Here at Serge, we know that a believer’s personal engagement with the gospel is the heartbeat of cross-cultural mission. We serve knowing that we need the gospel of grace even as we take that grace to the nations. And as we engage our own weaknesses in ministry, our struggles with relationships and the weight of sin, we find that the grace of the gospel motivates and sustains us to lay down our lives as we seek to reach all people and restore all things. We’re Here to Help You. Calling is an area of Christian life that can be confusing, often discerned alone—but it doesn’t have to be. We desire to walk alongside you as you consider how God is at work in your life. Take the next step and begin a conversation with us.
