Strengthening Churches

to help families in the “Last Mile of Need”

CityServe strengthens the local church to serve families with a lasting impact through a collaborative network of resources and capacity building.

A Community-Based Church Empowerment Movement

At CityServe, we believe God’s answer for restoration and healing in the world is the local church. 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.

Our Mission

CityServe’s mission is to train, equip, and mobilize the local church to live out the gospel of Jesus Christ in its community through compassion.

Disaster Response

When disasters strike—whether a tornado, hurricane, or wildfire—CityServe swiftly deploys truckloads of emergency relief supplies. With a dedicated network of strategic partners, we go the extra mile to support churches of all sizes, standing with communities not just in crisis, but for the long haul.

CityServe LA Fires Response

CityServe has been urgently responding to the horrific wildfires that swept through LA county in January 2025—partnering with local churches serving working families in the hardest hit regions of Altadena. Truckloads of relief supplies—including water, food, hygiene items, clothing, and other essentials—have been, and will continue, to be delivered to local churches on the frontlines of the disaster.

CityServe HERO App

The CityServe HERO app is a community compassion engagement tool specifically designed for church teams and volunteers. This easy-to-use app allows individuals and families to report and track the distribution of goods-in-kind (GIK) to households. The app works in conjunction with the HUB CityServe and POD CityServe apps. The HERO app is a great tool to mobilize the church body with relationship building and discipleship, and testify to God’s work through His church—most especially new salvations.
