Blood Drive

(18 Years & Up)

At Portrait, we believe Jesus calls us to love and serve our neighbors in real, tangible ways. That’s why we’re partnering with Carter Blood Care for our next Beyond the Walls event. Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood, and one single donation can save up to three lives. Let’s help meet this need in our community! We’ll have two mobile buses on site, with room for up to 62 donors. This is your chance to make a life-saving difference. As followers of Jesus, we believe He calls us to love others sacrificially, giving not just of our resources, but of ourselves. By donating blood, you’re living out that call: being His hands, His heart, and healing in tangible form. Portrait Church invites you to be part of that mission. Sign up today, roll up your sleeve, and join us in bringing hope, healing, and life to others.

Celina ISD Improvement Projects

(12 Years & Up With Parent)

We get to roll up our sleeves and get our hands dirty for our schools! As part of our Beyond the Walls projects, we’re partnering with Celina ISD to help improve Martin Elementary and the Primary School. This is a chance to serve in a very practical way, by painting four-square and hop-scotch courts, installing new tetherball courts, freshening up doors, and tackling other hands-on projects that will make a lasting difference for students and teachers. It’s not glamorous, but it’s kingdom work. Every brush stroke and every tetherball pole is a reminder that we care about our community and believe Jesus shows up when we serve with willing hands and joyful hearts. Come ready to sweat, laugh, and make memories as we love our city through simple, tangible acts of service. Sign up today and help us transform schools into spaces full of life, color, and joy!

Adopt-A-Street

(14 Years & Up With Parent)

We’re excited to partner with the City of Celina in the Adopt-A-Street program, taking responsibility for keeping a stretch of the Dallas North Tollway clean and beautiful. This initiative is more than just picking up trash—it’s about stewarding the environment, building community pride, and reflecting the heart of Jesus in our city. Participating in Adopt-A-Street helps: reduce litter and pollution, enhance the appearance and safety of our community, and foster a sense of civic responsibility and unity among residents. By serving in this way, we’re not just cleaning streets, we’re loving our neighbors and demonstrating Christ’s care for the world He created. We invite you to join us in this effort. Whether you’re serving solo, with your family, or as part of a group, your involvement makes a tangible difference. Sign up today and be part of bringing beauty, order, and love to our community.

Servant Leader Breakfast

(18 Years & Up)

Be the hands and feet of Jesus by serving those who serve! We’ll be preparing and serving breakfast for all servant leaders and their families, ensuring everyone is fueled and ready to make an impact in our community. This serve opportunity is onsite and open to servant leaders ages 18 and up. Please note that childcare is unavailable for this serve opportunity, so plan accordingly. Sign up today and join us in encouraging and supporting our servant leaders as they step out to love our city. It’s a simple way to serve, make a difference, and reflect the heart of Christ!

S.O.U.L Church

(11 Years & Up With Parent)

S.O.U.L. Church exists to create a space where people can encounter Jesus and experience genuine community. Since 1995, Pastor Leon and his team have faithfully served the streets of Dallas, meeting spiritual and physical needs. More than 200 people are cared for each week through this ministry that nourishes the mind, body, and spirit. Every Sunday, rain or shine, S.O.U.L. Mobile Church gathers in an open field near Fair Park for worship and outreach. This unique “church without walls” provides prayer, food, clothing, hygiene packs, free haircuts, showers, and laundry services for our homeless neighbors. Portrait Church is honored to partner with S.O.U.L. in this incredible ministry, and we want YOU to be part of it on November 2nd. Step into the mission, be the hands and feet of Jesus, and help bring hope to our city. Register today and join us in making an eternal impact!

Operation Christmas Child

(4 Years & Up With Parent)

At Portrait, we love creating opportunities to serve together and make an eternal impact. That’s why we’re excited to host an Operation Christmas Child Packing Party! This global ministry, led by Samaritan’s Purse, delivers shoeboxes filled with toys, school supplies, and personal care items to children in need all around the world, opening the door for them to hear about the hope of Jesus. Every shoebox is more than a gift. It’s a tangible expression of God’s love and a chance for a child to encounter the gospel. By serving together, we’re not just packing boxes, we’re sending joy, planting seeds of faith, and extending the love of Christ far beyond our city. We’d love for you, your family, or even your house group to be part of this incredible night. Come ready to pack, pray, and participate in what God is doing around the world through something as simple as a shoebox. Sign up today and join us as we bring the light of Jesus to children across the globe! *Note: This is the signup to serve at the event, not to donate items! If you would like to bring items for the Operation Christmas Child boxes please click here.

Door Hangers

(4 Years & Up With Parent)

Inviting people is one of the simplest and most powerful ways to share the love of Jesus. Invitation precedes transformation. Just like the woman at the well, who had an encounter with Jesus and immediately told her city to come and see (John 4:29-42), your invitation could be the beginning of someone’s story with Him. That’s why we’re assembling a team of servant leaders for our Door Hanger Project! Together, we’ll place invitation cards on doors in nearby neighborhoods, welcoming families to join us at Portrait Church. This is a great serve opportunity for families—bring your kiddos along! They can walk, ride scooters, and be part of spreading the good news in a fun and practical way. Sign up by yourself, with your family, or with a group, and join us in helping our city encounter the hope of Christ through a simple invitation.

Project Linus No Sew Blankets

(8 Years & Up With Parent)

At Portrait, we believe Jesus invites us to bring comfort, care, and hope to those who need it most. That’s why we’re partnering with Project Linus, a ministry that provides new, handmade blankets to children from birth through age 18 who are seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need. These blankets are more than fabric; they’re tangible reminders that someone loves them, cares, and above all, someone like Jesus sees and holds their pain. We want to join in that mission. No experience needed! Let’s come together, serve, and tie love into every blanket. Be part of being the hands and feet of Jesus: sign up today, bring your creativity, or just bring your presence. Together, we’ll wrap children in warmth and in the love of Christ.

Childcare Servant Leader

(16 Years and & Up)
