What is Community Outreach in in the Cities?​

Our highest priority for Community Outreach in the cities is creating points of relational connection through serving WITH one another and our neighbors. Meeting a tangible need is great, but it's a means to an end. God created us for relationship and Relationship building is EVERYTHING. The relationships are what will help turn hearts toward God.

We want to be the tangible expression of Christ to our City. People want to see love expressed through action.

No one can serve the people YOU know for you, the way you can. You are uniquely wonderfully made by God FOR A PURPOSE! (ROMANS 8:28) Your own personal journey, including those crises we wish were NOT part of our story, was designed by God to be used for his glory. He can use those things to connect with the hearts of those divine appointments you have with other image bearers! Without all of us working together, doing the work of the Lord, it does not make a difference. Look into the image bearer's eyes. Treat them with dignity and respect. It takes everybody. It takes all of us.

HOW CAN YOU JUMP IN AND MAKE IMMEDIATE IMPACT? Become a regular where you already are. The world just needs kindness and love. This is the only way we're going to change the world. This is Jesus' model. He went from town to town. He invited himself into other's homes. He sat down with them. Loved on them.

Often, we think "We don't have needs in our community". A need may not be visible, but needs are everywhere. Needs cross socio-economic boundaries.
