Outreach Ministry
In Matthew chapter 28, verse 19, Jesus gave us what
is called The Great Commission – “Therefore go out and make disciples of
all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and
of the Holy Spirit…” With this in mind, the main goal of our Local
Outreach Ministry is to create encounters to build relationships with
those that are not members of our church family. We hope that through
these encounters, relationships will be built and opportunities will be
found for our members to demonstrate God’s love and to share our faith.
To help us achieve this goal, and as a result of
creating these opportunities, we hope to do several things:
- Promote an environment within our church family
that will create an awareness and excitement regarding outreach
- Encourage and give new members and visitors an
opportunity to get involved
- Promote positive, continuous exposure within the
community
- Create better communication between the
community, our church family, our committees, and our leaders
Some of the ways that we are working toward these
goals include community involvement such as our Trunk or Treat
(Halloween alternative) event and involvement in community activities
such as Sunfest. We also enjoy cooperating with groups like the
Bartlesville Literacy Council in providing a meal for Jane Phillips
Elementary School Pre-K parents and kids. The creation of Outreach
newsletters and mailings to visitors and guests of our activities, as
well as members of our church family, has helped to keep everyone
informed of activities at Adams Blvd.
Our overall church mission statement is Knowing
Christ and Making Him Known. As a church family we are continually
learning and growing in our quest to get to know Christ, and as we do
this we also want to be sure that we are doing our best to make sure
that others share in our adventure to get to know Him as well.
If you
would ever like to join us in this great adventure, please don’t
hesitate to visit, call or write us here at Adams Blvd. We’d love to
have you along.
