Stories from our Outreach Solutions Consultants

Encouraging stories about Back to Church Sunday from our Outreach Solutions Consultants!

Linda Claudius – Outreach Solutions Consultant: A pastor from Florida called to order the Back to Church campaign kit to coincide with their 4th annual Back to School Bash Aug 22nd..what a great event & service to the community! The first year they had 1000 people show up, 2nd year 2500, last year 4000 and they expect 6000 people this year.. local organizations set up booths, they have helicopters, horse back riding,  race car simulators on site, as well as many other things. They use local Marine cadets to manage the parking and traffic and have invited other churches to participate.  They will give away 1400 bags of school supplies this year!  Mostly everything is accomplished through word of mouth and news articles highlighting the event.

Deb Ortega – Outreach Solutions Consultant: I talked to a church in the Midwest that is going to do summer and early fall Block Parties to coincide with Back to Church Sunday. They will divide their area into 4 sections, have leaders for each area and invite all of their neighbors to their parties to get to know them, love them and eventually invite them to church...I loved this idea..so non-threatening and fun!
