Your First 120 Days In Church Revitalization And Renewal (Church Revitalization Leadership Library)

The second area of focus was the city park just down the street from the church. The team believed it presented a tremendous opportunity to get church members out in the community in a very visible way as well as provide a platform to share the gospel. They envisioned ways to improve the park through “clean up” days, community block parties, and summer activities for children while they are out of school. Pastor Sam could see how having dozens of church members all wearing t-shirts emblazoned with the church’s name doing ministry together in the park might help the people of the community become more familiar with who they were and what they were about. He also believed city officials would be happy to have a church working alongside them to make their park a better and more inviting place for families.
