AFTERNOON OPTIONS

Outreach

Groups can sign up for opportunities to minister through service and prayer in the afternoons.

  • Prayer outreach is intercessory and evangelism-based outreach utilizing prayer stations and prayer walking. Training is provided.
  • Service projects mobilize groups to serve with their hands, muscles and servant hearts. Projects include restoring parks and playgrounds, working with homeless shelters, partnering with other city organizations and coming alongside local churches as an extension into their communities.

Pre-registration is required. You can view the outreach registration instructions here and find our outreach FAQ here.
