Listening To the Communty

A group of Christians from Lowndes County are in the planning stages of a ministry outreach. Over the last year, churches have been talking about how to tangibly help people in this county for the cause of Christ. In February, we had a dreaming meeting and started talking about the needs that churches have seen in their communities. The list was long…..and there were many great ideas.


Although this was initiated by Baptist churches in the county but in order to fulfill God’s call in Matthew 25 to serve others…we need as many Christian churches as possible to come on board working together to reach Lowndes County for Christ.

Saturday morning , March 5th at Hayneville Baptist Church we will be doing some training on doing a community assessment…then in the weeks to follow, groups from different communities will be talking to neighbors and friends about what they think churches can do to help this county be better. The training will be from 9-11:30am and is open to ALL Christian churches in Lowndes County.

If you would like to attend or need more information, please email Lisa Rose at 334-271-6794 or email her at lrose@mgmbaptist.org
