Empowering churches and creating opportunities through the power of collaboration.
WHAT WE DO
CityServe is a collaborative network designed to help local churches create greater impact and offer hope in the name of Jesus. We mobilize the church to fulfill its purpose locally and globally.
One of the ways CityServe does this is through a supply chain network of warehouse “HUB’s” that channel resources such as household goods, furniture, and food to local churches serving their communities. We call these local churches POD’s or “Point of Distribution”. POD’s are churches that have made a commitment to be actively involved with their neighbors and community through compassion evangelism. CityServe has partnered with these churches to see people reached, help them grow, and to impact families and cities with the life changing power of Jesus Christ.

“The vision of the SoCal Network is that every church can demonstrate an act of compassion in their community. By partnering with CityServe, you are helping that become a reality.”
— Rich Guerra, SoCal Network Superintendent
all in for foster adoption
Created by Lynn Johnson, former Assistant Secretary for Health and Human Services – Administration for Children and Families, and now CityServe Vice President of Children and Youth Initiatives, The All In for Foster Adoption is a national call for partners in every state to commit to being “all in” for finding forever families for the 122,000 waiting children in the foster care system.
Every waiting kid in the foster care system is at risk of ending up in another system–juvenile justice, homeless, or trafficking. We can take 122,000 down to zero foster children when everyone decides to be all in.

compassion outreach & church growth
There is something about a gift that helps make way for the building of relationships and softens hearts for ministry opportunities. The goal of CityServe is to help you impact your community by meeting practical needs, seeking the restoration of dignity amongst the broken, and allow for the sharing of the Gospel message to the lost. The resources you receive as a CityServe POD can bolster existing outreach ministries, empower church members to give to their neighbors in need and help your church serve your city.
