027: How to Partner with Local Schools
Churches often think about outreach in terms of how we can get people to come to us. But some of the best opportunities to serve our communities begin when we show up where people already are. In this episode of Kids Ministry Answers, we’re tackling a question about how churches can build meaningful partnerships with local schools. So we asked Sunny Brown to join Jason and Linda to share practical ways to listen to school leaders, meet real needs, build trust over time, and become the kind of church that consistently shows up to serve its community.
QUESTION:
“How can our church build a meaningful partnership with our local schools?”
“How can our church build a meaningful partnership with our local schools?”
ANSWER: In this episode, we’ll talk about how to…
- Reframe school outreach by focusing on serving your community instead of promoting your church
- Build relationships with school leaders by listening first, following through, and earning trust over time
- Identify the needs schools actually have and find where those needs overlap with your church’s people, gifts, and resources
Move beyond one-time outreach projects to create consistent, sustainable partnerships that serve schools for the long haul
