The Power of Community Partnerships

Churches are often tempted to do everything - when we see a need, we often think that we have to meet it. But, the reality is that people in your community are already doing good work - nonprofits, schools, neighbors, and other churches are blessing others. What if, instead of trying to create your own ministries and programs, you chose to use your time/energy/resources to strengthen the ministries that are already happening in your community? In this session, Brian Johnson, pastor of Haymarket Church, talks about how Haymarket Church has chosen to embrace community partnerships - and how this strategy has helped the church multiply their impact AND has created opportunities to build relationships in the local community.
