“...Go out into the highways and hedges and compel them to come in, 
that My house may be full.”
Luke 14:23

What is Children’s Outreach?
Our Children’s Outreach program began in the summer of 2000 with the purchase of our “Big Red Trailer.” This trailer has a fold down side that turns into a stage, a full sound system and a puppet stage, as well as storage for games and prizes. Our program takes Sunday School to underprivileged children in Harrisonburg who might not otherwise ever be exposed to the gospel of Jesus.

On the 2nd Saturday of every month, from April through November this trailer is taken to two locations. One is a vacant lot on East Gay Street, the other is in the circle at Harris Gardens Apartments. Once the trailer is set up by our Outreach Team Members, the fun begins. Our team members share with the children in prayer, a time of high energy Praise and Worship, games and prizes and a brief, simple message.

Our Mission Statement
Our common goal and purpose as a team is to bring the children of the city into the Kingdom, to love, train and nurture them in a way of life as they learn to walk with the Lord. We aspire to train and nurture them to minister in the power of the Holy Spirit in service, to the body of Christ with fullness of joy.

How Can I Plug In?
Our Outreach Team is always in need of dedicated volunteers to help in the following areas.

• Set up and tear down (everyone participates in this)

• Monitors (2-4 people needed)

• Registration (2-4 people needed)

• Sound

• Drama

• Puppets

• Games

Of course if you are unable to go out with us on Outreach day, you can still be a part of this ministry by donating toys to be given to the children as prizes. Please bring donations and place then in the blue tub located in our sanctuary. We ask that all toys be new, and that they aren’t related to evil or violence.

If you are unable to go out with us, or donate a toy, please pray for us– that our ministry would have a lasting impact on the lives of the children and their families.

If you are interested in becoming an Outreach Team Member or if you would like more information, please contact our Outreach Pastor:
