Aspects of OutReach Ministry

The main focus of outreach ministry is to extend a church's compassion, service, and message of faith into the wider community, both locally and globally, to meet people's needs, build relationships, and encourage spiritual growth by embodying Christ's love and service. This involves actively serving others by addressing their immediate physical needs, advocating for social justice, and sharing the "Good News" of the gospel, ultimately aiming to transform lives and foster a stronger connection between faith and community action.

Meeting Needs: Addressing practical issues such as food insecurity, lack of clothing, housing, and employment.

 
Social Justice and Advocacy: Working to improve public policies and address systemic issues related to welfare, long-term housing, education, and community economic development.

Sharing the Gospel: Evangelizing and making disciples by sharing the message of Jesus and teaching about the Christian faith. 

Community Building: Creating relationships, fostering fellowship, and encouraging people to connect with a local church. 

Embodying Christ: Living out faith through practical, tangible actions that model Christ's love and concern for individuals and communities.

 
Spiritual Transformation: Inspiring hope and love in people's lives, leading them to spiritual growth and transformation.
