Outreach Idea 3
Research....
To help your neighbour you need to know and love them.
Often we don’t live near our church hall but this doesn’t need to be a barrier to research.
✨Join your church’s local area Facebook page.
✨Locate local community activities and people and make the link.
✨Locate local community activities and people and make the link.
✨Go to council meetings, visit local churches and public venues,
✨Find the local newsletters
✨Be interested and involved in your community as they are your ‘crop’ to love and work with.
✨Chat with people- ask them what they would like your church to do for them.
Reading books on church outreach can inspire and motivate you to try a new idea - COG has several you can ask for.
Time spent on research is invaluable as it means that you can offer something that the community REALLY needs - not what you THINK they need.
The key is to make relationships that open your doors to those who need your church.
