Reformed Presbyterian Church of the North Hills

Outreach Committee

Work with the Session to encourage, challenge, and equip members for the congregation to be faithful to the Great Commission.
When appropriate, to plan and lead evangelism and outreach projects.
Seek ways to foster the congregation’s interest in and support for mission work.

The congregation was invited to meet with the Committee to discuss how to encourage and equip the congregation for outreach and evangelism.
The Committee supported efforts to develop resource materials that might be used to start small evangelistic groups.
Continued the Pickleball project. This project has attracted a lot of attention in the community. Articles have appeared in a couple of newspapers and many people have come to watch or play from the community.
The Committee worked with a church family to invite girl scouts from the North Hills to join our congregation for a worship service.
Started to develop a plan for welcoming new people to the neighborhood around the church.
The Committee has participated in the prayer walk which was started by Pastor Metzger.
Continued to work on improving our “newcomer” greeter program.
Have discussed how the Committee can be involved in the Millvale ministry.

Develop and start an English as a Second Language program. We suggested this as a possibility at the last Congregational Meeting and enough people showed interest to encourage us to seriously consider starting an ESL program. The Session gave us a green light so our plan is to start this coming September.
Continue to develop resource materials that might be used to start small evangelistic groups.
Continue with the Pickleball program.
Start a questionnaire program to seek opportunities to share the Gospel in the community around the church.
Continue working on a plan to welcome new people to the community.
Seek more ways to promote the congregation: signs, advertising, articles in the newspaper, etc.
Look for ways to participate in the Millvale ministry.
To establish a Facebook page.
Continue to develop a writing project to write articles for newspapers about our church program, to write position papers that might be useful for outreach, and develop a tract called “Why I Should Become a Christian.”
