Worshipers On Mission


Here are missional ideas through which your worship ministry can “get out of the church box” and take the gospel to your community. These ideas are just a few of the possibilities available right in your own community. Pray that God will open your eyes to see the opportunities all around you. Remember, “quick-hit methods” do not work. Instead, establish mission outposts by meeting people at their point of need on a regular basis in your community to build relationships that lead to witnessing opportunities: • Adopt a public or private school music program. • Adopt a community theater or concert hall. • Provide chaplains for public school music programs. • Present mission music schools in local neighborhoods and multi-housing locations.


• Do music missions in nearby resort areas. • Reach out to college campuses. • Get involved in a community cause: homelessness, hunger, school reading programs, etc.


• Plan neighborhood movie musical nights. • Join your local arts council. • Present a series of block parties. • Enlist your worship team to host Christmas Gatherings: http://christmasgatherings.com


• Place mission ministry tables in public places. • Form an “Acts of Kindness” team to local artists. • Start a weekly coffeehouse discussion group about spirituality in the arts. • Place worship artists in local bookstores and coffee shops on a weekly schedule. • Go to jails and prisons. • Volunteer in homeless shelters and soup kitchens. • Go to drug and alcohol rehab centers and halfway houses. • Adopt an assisted living village or retirement center. • Get to know your neighbors. Host get-togethers that grow witnessing relation- ships.


• Adopt a ball field. • Pray for restaurant wait staff. • Join a community chorus or barbershop singing group or band/orchestra. • Become a Christian street musician/artist. • Become an online missionary: www.namb.net/erc
