Outreach programs and Missions of the Quartz Hill church of Christ



		Outreach Programs at Quartz Hill The church in Quartz Hill is very committed to the Great Commission of Jesus Christ (Matthew 28: 18-20). We strive to reach out and preach the gospel to as many as we can. We do this on a local, national and global level. LOCALLY We reach out to our community in a variety of ways Benevolence We have a food pantry stocked for those who have need of groceries. Once a year we have a Neighborhood Give-away. Clothing, household and sometimes food, is collected and given away to anyone who has need. Evangelism Gospel Meetings. Each year we host a gospel meeting in order to reach as many as we can with the gospel. Friends’ Day. In conjunction with our Neighborhood Give-Away, we host our annual Friends’ Day. On this Sunday, everyone makes a special attempt to invite their friends to church. Services are planned with our visitors in mind. Sermons are on first principals and what it means to have Jesus as our friend. Ladies’ Day. The ladies of the congregation host a Saturday program for Christian women. Guest speakers are invited speak, on various subjects. A continental breakfast and lunch is provided. Gospel Sweep. The Gospel Sweep is a very unique evangelistic program that was born here in the Antelope Valley. All six congregations in the valley participate in a round-robin type of gospel meeting. Each congregation hosts one evening at its own facility, with the full support and attendance of the others, to preach one of the lessons in a series of six. At the conclusion of the meeting, we have a joint potluck and fellowship at a predetermined location. Much fruit has resulted from this program. Deaf Ministry. We also have interpreting for the deaf for our worship services, including the adult Bible classes. top NATIONAL On a national level we support several evangelistic programs. In Search of the Lord’s Way. This television ministry is broadcast from Edmond, Oklahoma. Mack Lyons is the preacher. In California, it is shown on channel 22 at 7:30 am each Sunday morning. Birmingham Bible school for the Deaf. This is the only school of preaching in the brotherhood that is specifically designed to teach deaf men to preach the gospel. Some schools have staff who can teach any hearing impaired students, but they are not designed to train deaf men to preach. Scholarships. This year (1997), we have established a scholarship fund to help support men who want to go to preaching school. Our first student is attending the Brown Trail School of Preaching in Austin, Texas. After graduation in two years, we will select another student to help support. top GLOBAL On a worldwide level, we presently help support three mission areas: Mexico. We help support Juan Mesa, who is the preacher in Torreon, Mexico. We have been supporting the work for several years. India. We support Bro. Ron Clayton and his wife Karen as they work in this very fertile mission field. Galilee Christian High School. This is a very unique school, in that both Arabs and Jews attend and are taught the New Testament. There is a waiting list for students to get into the school, due to its excellent academic standards. top What's New \| TOC \| Home \| Contact Information \| Personal Studies Correspondence Courses \| Ask a Question \| The Bible Software \| Guestbook \| Visitor Log
