Outreach

Throughout the centuries, outreach has become a valuable conduit by which evangelism and the Gospel message is passed. We, the church, extend services, benefits, resources, time, prayer, etc.

We choose to meet all these needs, with the goal of bringing people to Jesus Christ.

Impact Yadkin

(next round begins summer, 2024)

IMPACT YADKIN is a collaboration of volunteers from several different churches whose mission is to share the message of Jesus Christ and His love with the people of Yadkin County. In addition to reaching out in the community, IMPACT desires to see students and adults grow in their relationship with Christ through nightly worship, Bible study, missions, ministry, and outreach.

Supported by several area churches of different denominations, the event transpires during one week in June. The primary area of mission work is to provide home repairs to those in need.

Eligible home repair projects are identified through an application process with the aid of the local churches, Yadkin County Department of Social Services, Aging Planning, and YVEDDI.

The biennial event began in 2011 with approximately 400 volunteers completing 55 home repair projects.

In 2013, over 600 youth and adult construction volunteers completed 75 home repair projects.

In 2015, forty-three churches provided 776 construction volunteers who completed over 100 home repair projects during the Impact event. Also, local churches have completed several projects after the event.

In addition to construction crews, another 800-900 volunteers provide support (prayer, Party in the Park, meals, water, evangelism, clean-up, video, publicity, administration, etc.) during each Impact event.

Party in the Park events (similar to backyard VBS) have also had an impact on our community. In 2013, park events were held in five different places throughout Yadkin County. These events involved over 65 volunteer leaders ministering to an average of 230 children in grades 1-6 for five days. In 2015, the Party in the Park ministry grew to seven locations covering a large portion of the county.
