The value of an outreach process is that it focuses people on being intentional about outreach. An effective outreach process facilitates identification of the actions that a congregation plans on taking when engaging nonchurched people through outreach events, activities, and ministries.
It is important to recognize that there is not a single “correct” outreach process. There are many ways in which a congregation can systematically plan outreach efforts. Whichever outreach process a congregation uses, it should ensure that the outreach process is clear, concise, and takes the perspective of nonchurched people into consideration.
