Abstract

Social services have been an important part of the ministry of the church since the time of the New Testament. They can be combined with evangelism to form the outreach ministry of the church to its community. Various Chinese churches in different countries have used this model of sharing the love and the gospel of Christ through evangelism and social services. The focus of this project is the development of a community ministry plan for a Chinese church in Canada. The author surveyed over a hundred and fifty Chinese churches in eastern Canada and conducted in-depth interviews with four of the churches with community ministry. Furthermore, three community service organizations in Ottawa where the author's church is located were interviewed in order to better assess the needs of the community. Based on the findings of the research, a plan is developed to implement community ministry. The plan consists of four steps: cultivating a vision for community ministry, mobilizing and equipping for community ministry, organizing for community ministry and partnering for community ministry.
