Helping Souls to find Purpose in God through a Greater Community
Prospect AME Church’s community outreach proposal is a movement to help those in needs and touch the lives of those in our community by providing services and programs to support the church’s mission. God uses his children to bring others to Christ. Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” John 20:21
This plan will provide opportunities for people to experience Prospect AME Church whether they are members or not. Members will be able to invite their family, neighbors and friends to various events. These important events, seminars, and services will offer a safe environment for people to build trust with our church and provide more opportunities to invite them to Christ and to become members.
Objectives:
• To provide educational, recreational, health, wellness and life oriented activities for those in our community and in our church.
• To offer planned programs, services and special events to encourage participation in worship and praise for our youth and adults in our community.
• To reach people in our community to provide ministry services.
How we will make it happen:
• Establish several outreach programs that would be beneficial to the community and church.
• Establish The Community Advisory Committee. This committee will consist of the Community Outreach Chair(s) and the Program Chairs. The Community Outreach Chair will serve as the lead and point of contact for the Program Chairs.
• Solicit volunteers to lead each of the programs (Program Chairs). The Program Chairs will solicit committee members to work with them.
• Establish regular meetings with the Program Chairs. Develop training program for leading these committees.
• Program Chairs, along with volunteers, will develop the plans for their committee. They will complete the Why, How, Target Audience, Ideas and Guidelines for the program.
• The Program Chairs and volunteers will come up for ideas on how to fund their program.
