Love Cola Week | Sep 29-Oct 5, 2025
Every October and all year long!
Love Cola is a year-round effort to encourage church members to serve their community intentionally and consistently for the sake of the gospel. In addition to trainings and awareness events throughout the year, we have two annual rhythms: bringing churches and partners together in the 20th week (mid-May), and serving together in the 40th (typically the first week of October).
How can my congregation participate in Love Cola Week?
Start with your own local partners, schools, and communities. Reach out and ask how your members could serve alongside them the first full week of October. If you support several local partners, maybe ask each Sunday School class or small group to adopt a partner. If yours is a smaller congregation, brainstorm creative ways to bless first responders, nearby schools, or the neighbors surrounding your church. No matter how big or how small, every effort to serve as the hands and feet of Jesus is a win!
Is there a citywide service project this year where we can serve alongside other churches?
Not yet. Check with your church’s Missions pastor or director about strategically serving local partners that your congregation supports. Stay tuned for citywide efforts in 2026 and beyond!
Where can I get one of those Love Cola T-shirts?
Church leaders will be able to order Love Cola shirts in bulk as citywide efforts take shape. We’re also working on a year-round merch store. Stay tuned!
“We saw new people step up that had only been attending our church a short while. Volunteers who'd never met served together that day, then got cleaned up and had dinner together that night. We heard from one lady who felt like God was calling her to engage with the church, but never felt comfortable until this opportunity to serve the community came along. One volunteer said God lifted her depression through this chance to serve alongside her church family. Best of all, volunteers have asked: 'When can we do it again?!'
Thank you, Love Cola!”
