Outreach Strategies for a new century

Obstacles to Outreach We don’t talk about religion We live in a secular environment We live with an anti-Christian bias We don’t know our neighbours Bad things done by Christians Fear of talking to non-Christians What obstacles would you add to this list?

Strategies to overcome Obstacles

What do you know about the demographics of your community?

How do you find out the make-up of your community?

What is your community’s perception of your congregation? Does location matter? What do they know about Lutheranism? Reputation: Positive/Negative Reputation: Open/Closed Caring: For each other Caring: For community needs Other ideas

Outreach Strategies considering your communities perceptions Pray for the people in your neighbourhood and community Speak positively about your congregation and your pastor. Encourage your pastor and members to attend/volunteer at community events. Create opportunities for neighbours to enter your church building. Bear witness to the joy of Christ’s salvation at every opportunity Other ideas.

Christ is risen!
