What is Servant Communities?
Servant Communities (SC) is an international network of Catholic Charismatic communities united by a shared vision, mission, leadership structure, and formation program. Most SC communities are parish-based and are spiritually guided by PACEM Missionaries, founded by Rev. Fr. Leonardo A. Polinar, together with local parish priests and spiritual directors.
Purpose: The purpose of Servant Communities is to build a loving and supportive community where individuals grow in their faith and learn to care for one another. This is done through small groups that foster close relationships and personal guidance. At the heart of this formation is reflection on God’s word, helping members understand it and live it out in their daily lives.
Vision: An Evangelizing Community of Love
Mission:
- Organize homogenous Cell Groups – which can be defined as small groups of people in similar life stages.
- Build up Loving Relationship among members
- Cell Groups should beget new Cell Groups – which is the idea that each small group is encouraged to grow and form new groups.
Opportunities: Grow in faith through a proven formation program that builds strong Christian communities. Life in SC is centered on small “cell groups,” one-on-one mentoring, and reflection on God’s word through the Word Method, helping members actively live out their faith.
Get involved:
Join a small community where you can build meaningful relationships, receive personal spiritual guidance, and grow with others. Members are encouraged to form new cell groups as they grow.
SC communities are present in the Philippines, Australia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Greece, the USA (including Alaska), and Norway.

History of Our organization:Members of the Servant Communities from the Philippines came to Fargo, North Dakota and became members of the Nativity Church of Fargo in 2013. On August 4, 2013 with the guidance of Fr. Kevin Boucher and the support of Chris Steffan, the 1st Prayer Meeting was started at the Chapel of the Nativity Church of Fargo.
From then on, members of the Nativity Parish and other Catholics not involved in any parish started attending the Prayer Meetings. Soon, there was an opportunity for spiritual growth as members decided to undergo the formation program and train their skills in Ministry.
The Servant Communities now continues to grow by having Prayer Meetings every 1st Saturday of each month, Formation Sessions, Cell Meetings, development of the talents that God has given them through Ministries Training and outreach with the guidance of Fr. Jim Meyer and Fr. Joe Barrett.
