Strategies for Reaching Out to our New Neighbors

Lenten Series, 2007—Pohick Church
The Reverend Donald D. Binder, PhD

In the last five years, the Lorton area has exploded, with the addition of Lorton Station, Inlet Cove and Summit Oaks. This class will explore practical ways in which we can reach out to attract and minister to these new neigbhors, as well as to other residents within the surrounding communities. Along the way, we will explore a biblical view of the Church’s mission and ministry that forms the theological foundation for all these strategies.
