Why Should Our Church Participate?<\/h4>\n
There are a lot of great reasons why churches should participate in Work Camp:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Discipleship<\/span> – We believe strongly that service is an important component to building discipleship.\u00a0 As churches seek to disciple their youth, Work Camp provides the setting, content and reinforcement of the discipleship work you are already doing.\u00a0 As you watch your students focus less on themselves and more on the needs and concerns of others, the growth that follows will astound you.\u00a0 We will reinforce their experience with training on how to evangelize, pray for others and study the Word on their own and in a group setting.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Community Focus<\/span> – Most people don’t realize that they can find extreme poverty, brokenness and deep need within 5 miles of where they live.\u00a0 Sure, going far away for a mission trip helps those on the other end of your travels.\u00a0 But, there is also something special about making a difference here in our own community.\u00a0 Not only will we see our own community transformed, but the relationships that are created can continue and be grown over time as well.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Affordable<\/span>\u00a0– Unlike overseas mission trips that can cost each participant upwards of $3,000, or an out-of-state trip that can cost $750 or more, the cost for each student to participate in Work Camp is under $200!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Involve The Whole Church<\/span> – When you serve locally you are able to leverage the whole of your congregation, not just the youth who are traveling.\u00a0 This means that adults up and down the age spectrum can get involved in volunteer roles at Work Camp and contribute to the program at the same time they are blessed through their service.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
That The City Might See Jesus!<\/span> – It is our mission, and it is what we pray for each year.\u00a0 That through our service the city of Rochester and beyond would see, come to know and trust in Jesus.\u00a0 That is the whole reason why we do what we do.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Where Can We Get Help?<\/h4>\n
Navigating participation in Work Camp can be a little overwhelming for a new church.\u00a0 To help you along the way, we have a dedicated Church Communications Coordinator who will share all the information you need, answer your questions and set you up for success so that your Work Camp experience is worthwhile and enjoyable.<\/p>\n
This website will serve as a great resource along the way.\u00a0 We hold monthly meetings to make sure you know what needs to get done at each stage of the planning process.\u00a0 You\u2019ll also find that other church reps will be eager to help answer your questions, too.\u00a0 It can feel like a lot when you commit to participate in Work Camp, but we make the process fairly easy (and sometimes fun).\u00a0 The work up front is always worth the result in the end!<\/p>\n
