Serve Source · We Build Connections
Your Church Was Never Meant to Serve Alone.
Serve Source connects your church with the partners and resources it needs before, during, and after crisis. Free disaster preparedness resources and a trusted network of churches and response partners.
Was your church hit by a disaster?
The passion to serve already exists in your congregation.
Serve Source is ministry driven and was founded by outreach pastors who believe the local Church is uniquely positioned to bring lasting hope to its community. We are not here to replace your church or add another layer of ministry. We strengthen the connections around it, so you are never serving alone. We have built the infrastructure to help your church succeed.
The Challenge Every Church Leader Faces
No Time to Build a System
You want to serve your community, but you don't have the time or experience to mobilize a response from scratch during a crisis.
No Shared Tools
You may not have the technology to coordinate disaster relief, volunteers, or outreach communication with other churches nearby.
No Central Hub
You're strapped for time, torn between daily ministry and preparing for the next disaster or outreach opportunity.

Builds Bridges With Emergency Services
From a Key to the City of Temple, Texas, to disaster reporting relationships with federal, state and local government, Serve Source works alongside emergency management, not just ministries.
Proven in Crisis
Since 2023, Serve Source has coordinated with partners in 100+ disaster responses, proving the ability to act quickly and effectively.
Led By Pastors
Founded by Derick Zwerneman, a 28-year firefighter and former Outreach Pastor, and Dennis Harris, a staff pastor with 40+ years in ministry.
“The first place we go is Serve Source to see who is responding and how can we help.”
“This is probably the most important relationship building groups and connections that you can have in the nation when it comes to disaster.”
