Outreach Committee
Our goal is to participate in and encourage ecumenical work in the community and provide resources for church members to share in reaching out to their neighbors with God's love and compassion.
DESCRIPTION
Develop and encourage a year-round program of community outreach and mission in the life of the church. Provide the congregation with mission opportunities throughout the year; i.e. work camps, short-term mission work, Volunteers In Missions projects canned food collections, etc. Share mission thoughts and information through the newsletter.
The committee reaches out into the community with the gospel. It will help develop plans for inviting persons to know Jesus Christ and come into the life of the church. The committee will review current evangelism models and resources and recommend continuing evangelism programming throughout the church year. Committee meets monthly.
