“Let’s just go!” can seem a very attractive option when putting together plans for your community project. Questions like “What can our church realistically offer?” and “What does our community really need?” are often left behind in the process of turning vision into action. However, these are the most important questions to ask before beginning a new community-serving initiative.

Whether you are a local church, town-wide group of churches or an individual with a vision for greater community involvement, this one-day practical workshop will help you:

• Understand your community – its make-up, needs and key people
• Identify the opportunities and challenges facing your church
• Match the needs of your community with the resources of your church
• Ensure that your project is a sustainable initiative
