Time commitment:Ongoing Investment:$$$ Volunteers:5–10 Most churches have a great audio/visual setup. Why not use it for showing movies? This can be a weekly event that happens all summer—or all year! If you live in a college town, a movie night followed by a discussion about its themes and characters can be an interesting way to bring people into ...
Time commitment:Once a year Investment:$$ Volunteers:5–10 The Super Bowl is one of the year’s biggest events, and it can be a wonderful opportunity to get people into church—but it has to be done correctly. Most people would prefer to watch this event at home or with close friends, so there needs to be some real thought put into how you’ll attract ...
Time commitment:Ongoing Investment:$ Volunteers:5–10 This is another idea that’s more about investing in the community than it is about getting an immediate return on your outreach. There are a number of ways you can invest in local senior centers: 1. Lead worship services 2. Serve during meals 3. Visit with seniors 4. Stock the facility with resou...
Time commitment:One time Investment:$$$ Volunteers:10–20 Depending on your goals, hosting a concert can be a bit of a risk. You need to ask yourself if you intend to charge for the event, take a “love offering,” or make it a free church event. If you have local talent, you can negotiate the cost of getting them to come play. This is your best bet f...
Time commitment:One time Investment:$$ Volunteers:10–20 If your church has nice grounds, or even a good-sized parking lot, you can put on an incredible block party. Make sure there are plenty of games, food, and entertainment, and you’ve got yourself a great way to get the neighborhood connected. You’ll probably want to invest in some flyers or inv...
Time commitment:Ongoing Investment:$$ Volunteers:10–20 I have a Catholic church in my town that has been doing this for more than 20 years. They’ve built relationships with local vendors from all around town who set up booths at the church to sell their products and services. There are also food booths and games for the kids. This doesn’t work as w...
Time commitment:Depends Investment:$$ Volunteers:10–20 Lots of families are looking for safe, fun things to do on Halloween. This is a wonderful way for your church to step up to the plate. If your church would prefer not to have anything to do with Halloween, you can host a harvest party and provide games, snacks, and candy. This outreach activity...
Time commitment:A year Investment:$$ Volunteers:10–30 If the church or a church member has an acre or more of garden-worthy land, you can put together a public garden. With plowing, planting, maintenance, and harvest, you’re committing to a year-long project (at least). You need someone knowledgeable to head it up and make sure you have a really go...
Time commitment:Open Investment:$ Volunteers:1–5 Your town likely has a number of artists, and chances are that they don’t think of the church as a big supporter of the arts. You can change that! Find a way to do showings of local art in your church. You can do it all the time and feature different artists in your fellowship area, or you can featur...
Time commitment: Open Investment:$$ Volunteers:1–5 Is your church surrounded by businesses? Why not set up some barbecues in the parking lot and offer working people free lunches once a week? I mean, who doesn’t love a free lunch? You can even deliver! You’ll need to market it to the businesses around your church. But if you set up well, it can giv...
- Church Picnic. A church picnic may seem like a private event, but it doesn’t have to be. It’s the perfect time to invite friends to a low-pressure social activity where people can be outside, enjoying great weather, conversation, and food.
- Trash Pick-Up. No one likes to see trash on the side of the road. It’s unsightly and makes a bad impression on the community. It doesn’t matter if you live in the nicest city or a small town, there are areas of your community that need to be cleaned up.
- Feed The Homeless. Helping the homeless is one of the most common church outreach activities. It’s a great way to serve others and improve the health of your community.
- 4 Of July Fireworks Show. Everyone enjoys a 4 of July fireworks celebration. If your church can budget the cost, consider putting on a fireworks show for the community (also ready my article on Pastor Appreciation Ideas).
Outline a plan to meet the needs! 26. Write the benefits to the church and community. 27. Decide what the financial requirements will be, and make out a budget. 28. Have an accounting plan, with checks and balances. Have another person outside the program do occasional cash flow analysis for accountability.
By Eliza Cortés Bast. What is outreach ministry? Outreach ministry is the practice of looking beyond yourself to the people around you and sharing the love of Christ as you serve and connect with your community. This doesn’t require a big budget or a five-year plan.
