Do Something Church Campaign
Do Something! The church is called to be the salt and light of the world – focused upward to God, inward to each other, and outward to the world around them. We are called to SERVE in everything we do. Yet before people can step out to do something, they have to prepare - DO Something! is that preparation!
Using true stories and illustrations, the DO Something! Church Campaign includes steps for a personal transformation along with a corporate transformation.
When you launch DO Something! in your church…you can:
-Set people free of insecurities and lack of interest, as they discover the greater works God has prepared them for.
-Become a church that reaches into the local community in dynamic ways – building the bridges to those in need.
-Increase participation in small groups.
-Increase the relevance of your church in the minds of those in your community.
-Increase the impact on the unchurched in your community.
-Create a culture, mindset and passion for service in every person in the church.
Based on the book by Pastor Miles McPherson, Do Something
