95 Things to Do as a Kingdom Workers Volunteer

(Inspired by Martin Luther’s 95 Theses)

In 1517, Martin Luther famously nailed his 95 Theses to the church door in Wittenberg, sparking the Reformation. While his list challenged church practices and theology, we’re here to challenge something else—how many ways you can serve as a Kingdom Workers volunteer!

Luther believed in faith in action—not as a way to earn salvation, but as a response to God’s grace. So, in honor of his 95 Theses, here are 95 ways you can serve with Kingdom Workers (hammer and door not required).
