The topic of ‘Outreach and Church Small Groups‘ explores the specific and important question What is the mission of the Church small group?

This includes leadership habits and building a culture of outreach and shares many resources. View the PDF HERE.

The topic of ‘Outreach and NZ History‘ explores the idea that perspectives the public hold are the unavoidable starting point of the ‘God conversation’. This makes things that shape public perspective important. “Those who tell the history write the future”!

This illustrates the significance of bicultural history, values history, and the need for storytelling to influence cultural dynamics. View the PDF HERE.

The topic of ‘Outreach and Reasons for Belief‘ explores the area of apologetics which includes valuing both rational & experiential evidence. We suggest this area of knowledge, witness and conversation is more important to discipleship and witness than our NZ churches generally recognise.

This covers areas like evidence, understanding the problem, storytelling and simple solutions. View the PDF HERE.

In ‘Outreach and Unity,’ we explore the importance of church unity for outreach while acknowledging the challenges of achieving that unity.

Health in our wider witness and work will be the product of…1. Individual effort 2. Small group effort 3. Congregational effort 4. United effort. We discuss these while looking at overall goals and attitudes to sustain unity. View the PDF HERE.

In ‘Outreach and Community Service,’ firstly we explore the culture of outreach within our members, this is the foundation of any church’s efforts to show love within their community.

The key to keeping the ‘Christ’ in our ‘Christ’ian love, service and witness is therefore our people – not our programmes. Finally case studies are included which show the varied approaches of three churches, each differing in size and location. View the PDF HERE.
