Outreach Engagement Strategy

Engage your Head - challenge to learn more about local and global needs to expand your perspective of God and His work to the world.

Engage your Heart - challenge every week to pray. When we Pray, God shapes our hearts to be more like His and makes us more attuned to what He's doing in our midst. Scripture tells us that God hears and responds to our prayers. Our partners need prayer! 

Engage your Hands - challenge to see every member and group in the church get a plan for how they would like to serve. There is something powerful about showing up to serving together. Did you know that one of the number one indicators of a faith that lasts in us and our children is if we serve regularly? 

The missions team wants to remove every barrier for your group to serve and has designated $200 for each group. If you would like to use those funds, just contact a member of the missions team, or Rachel Lang and we’ll help you coordinate.

Steps to serve:

#1 Get involved in a small group - we believe that outreach occurs best in a group. You are not restricted from serving individually but serving as a community brings a perspective you miss on your own.

#2 Find a partner or project that connects for you. First, check out the list of current serve opportunities - Outreach Serve Projects and Trips. Second, review our list of partners and ways to get involved Local Partners and Global Partners. Third, be ready to respond to needs as you see them. It could be a next door neighbor that just needs some help. Or it could be a ministry or program we are not currently partnered with. You are not confined at all by the options above. As you are filled with God’s love it will transform you into a person that sees the needs of the people around you and desires to bring God’s love in amazing ways into various situations in our world.

#3 Debrief - We recommend connecting as a small group after your serve opportunity and discussing your experience.

#4 Plan your next opportunity - put it on the calendar and begin planning steps towards your next service opportunity.
