Cityreaching Partnership
Overview



Another angle on this potential impact is to see how the Body of Christ can become more active in those broad areas of the community that generally influence transformation. Traditionally, church institutions have stayed within the bounds of religion. But if our communities are to become healed and whole, we must pursue genuine change in the other spheres of influence. We can begin by seeking out and honoring God-placed leaders in those fields. Second, we can connect with city leaders and humbly ask how the Church can serve and co-labor with them for the good of the community. Third, a church can act as a catalyst to unite congregation-based ministries for a coordinated city impact. What if all of the youth ministries worked together in your city? What about mercy ministries, counseling, or disaster response? Think of the potential impact!

Community transformation can begin with neighborhood transformation. It is there that you can take micro steps to build the macro vision, and more easily and quickly see results that will model and motivate more. Neighborhood withreach strategies have already been pioneered and proven, and are ready for widescale use.
