Operation Reach
North Carolina Baptist State Convention
Atlantic Association - September 21 & 22
This is one of the most effective tools in identifying unreached people groups in an association where new churches are needed. This event guides associational pastors and leaders through a day of learning and identifying opportunities for new churches. Participants learn about people groups and how to identify them, and travel in groups to pre-assigned areas to identify unreached groups distinct from people groups other community churches are already reaching. Groups return to the host site to report their discoveries to the larger group.
These events are provided at no financial cost to the association, but by funds from the Cooperative Program, Annie Armstrong Offering and the North Carolina Missions Offering. Every church represented at the event is provided with a detailed demographic report on their church. Operation Reach requires a six-month planning process and commitment from the associational missionary to personally enlist the participation of pastors and one staff member/layman from each church.
