Check List #1 Evangelism

As I mentioned a few posts ago, research project commissioned by Leadership Network Church Planting Study, show dozens of studies on church plant health, survivability, and processes. Church plants were studied in order to discover what improves the strength and effectiveness of church plants. Fewer fail than we thought.

There were 13 factors that contributed to the health and survivability. I thought we would cover one every now and then and talk about it.

The first one was engaging in ministry evangelism (i.e., food banks, shelter, drug/alcohol recovery). We have done a few things a year that works for us:

Stonebridge Community Easter Egg Hunt – in partnership with Stonebridge HOA
Nesbitt Foundation Baseball Camp – for underprivileged children in McKinney –July
Kidfest – October
Valentine’s Dinner (Dance) - February
And a weekly New Resident Panera Bread Outreach

What do you do?
