DO SOMETHING - COMMUNITY SERVE DAY

Sunday, August 10, 2025
Serving the Village of Eau Claire

Join us for Do Something, our annual Community Serve Day where all four First Church campuses come together as one church family with one mission: to serve and love the Village of Eau Claire in tangible, meaningful ways.

Whether you’re young or old, a seasoned volunteer or brand new to serving—there’s a place for you! We’ll tackle a variety of projects that directly bless local schools, parks, neighborhoods, and community spaces. From painting and landscaping to trash pickup, fire hydrant beautification, note writing, and lunch delivery, there are opportunities for every ability and energy level.

This is more than a service project—it’s a powerful way to live out our mission of Restoring God’s Ideal in real places, for real people, through real action.

Come with your small group, your family, or on your own—and let’s Do Something together!
