CREATIVE OUTREACH WITH YOUR COMMUNITY AND BEYOND

12:00–1:15 p.m.
Networking Lunch Host: Shawn Stewart
Location: Chapel Suite 3 (Rooms 317/319)

Find inspiration and resources to assist your church members in reaching their neighbors with the gospel of Jesus Christ. We can help your church family learn how to welcome and reach recently arrived Afghans or local diaspora communities. And we can walk with those seeking to do outreach beyond your church, such as college or young adults through denomination-wide mission cohorts. EPC World Outreach has some unique missions hubs being developed, where High School student ministry leaders can participate in retreats to learn how they can reach the unreached right here in the U.S. Join us and learn how you can help your congregation gain a heart for reaching those with least access to the gospel, and also share what your church is doing.

Shawn Stewart serves as Mobilization Coordinator for EPC World Outreach.
