The best way for a church to grow within a community and effectively spread the gospel of Christ is through engaging with the local community which can be done in the following ways.

1. Many churches have events that are hosted within their premises for their congregations. Opening up church events to the community creates an opportunity for the church to show the community how God works through the church.

2. Forming partnerships with like-minded organizations helps to build relationships with other local Christian leaders. There are projects that require money and manpower so partnerships in areas of agreement ensure more people get involved in community endeavors that honor God.

3. Churches can organize programs to help the less fortunate. They can plan trips to shelters to help in fundraising efforts, preach the gospel to shelter residents, and provide meals. This is an excellent way the church can glorify God through selflessness.

4. Participating in community cleanup helps churches in both urban and rural areas to engage directly with the community. Simple gestures such as picking up trash on community roads can go a long way to brighten the hearts of community members.

5. Churches can organize kids community funfair events to get kids entertained. Events for kids also bring together adults to these exciting events where free drinks, snacks, and toys are availed for the kids to have fun.
