Easter in the Community

This past Sunday we introduced to our church an Easter strategy that we believe will help us reach out more during the Easter season than we ever have before. Instead of waiting for people to come to our church this Easter weekend, we are going to them! We laid out a strategy called “Easter in the Community.” Here are the basic principles:

We want to hold as many Easter gatherings (mini-worship services) as possible across our region the week of Easter. We told our members we would love to send a minister to their place of business and hold one of these gatherings. We set up an email account for people in our church to email their request for a pastor to come and lead their service.

This has incredible potential and is a way for us to challenge our people to be missionaries in their workplaces. There are limitless opportunities for the Gospel to be extended through an outreach like this. At each one of these gatherings, an Easter message will be presented along with an invite to one of our services on Easter weekend. This means hundreds of people across our region will hear what Jesus Christ has done for them and be invited to a place where they can hear further about our Savior.

Maybe you’re a pastor reading this blog and you want to implement this strategy as well. It’s obviously our first time doing it, but we feel it has limitless potential to touch our community with the hope of the Gospel. If you attend our church and would like to have one of these Easter gatherings at your place of business, please email easter@fbcs.net if you attend the Springdale Campus or easter@churchph.com if you attend the Pinnacle Hills Campus. Let’s band together and take Easter to our community!
