Community ministries are those services intended to address the needs of an entire community rather than just individuals. Traditional Christian ministries over the centuries have included establishing schools, hospitals, clean water projects, relief projects (especially after disasters), and rescue missions.
Other kinds of projects include cleaning parks, beaches, or streets. It might extend to undertaking needs that the community infrastructure can't do (for lack of funds or legal authority).
The activities of community ministries are not constrained to physical needs, it also extends to spiritual needs. The Vision Ukraine ministries to parents of disabled children or ministries to refugee communities are examples. However, organizing or leading public prayers or demonstrations against injustices or for public projects to protect children are examples of community ministries as well. Even being a cheerleader for another ministry's good idea can help transform a city.
Working with churches already trying to help addicted people to overcome drugs and alcohol, our ministry helped them cooperate in a way that greatly improved the success of all of their programs and assisted the people they had been helping in many new ways to ensure they stayed clean and sober. Many people were so helped that they volunteered to help take the Good News of Christ to small villages that had never had a church before. As of 2020, more than 48 villagess have stable shurch congregations where there had been none before.
Ministries to our military communities, including families and veterans is an essential service to our broader community and our Nation in the name of our LORD.
