A vision for bread: a Serving church.

Jesus describes himself as the one who “did not come to be served, but to
serve," so if we are being formed into his image, then it's an imperative
to understand that service isn’t an optional extra; everything we have been
given is given that it might, in some form, be given away.
But Jesus-shaped service isn’t driven by guilt, obligation, or the crushing
weight of infinite need. It grows out of knowing that we are loved, knowing
our limits, and learning the particular “yeses” God is inviting each of us
into.
Bread’s vision to be a serving church is centered in a vision of a family,
in which each of us learns to steward the “many-colored grace” we have
received; serving one another, partnering with people doing extraordinary
work across Los Angeles, and learning to give ourselves away together.
