Problem or Opportunity
Our church, Old and Older Baptist (OOB), has a very balanced relationship with our
neighborhood – we ignore them and they ignore us. One reason is that people perceive our
church as being older and traditional, and out of touch with their needs. Conversations with
some of the young mothers in the neighborhood show that they have a need for a program
for children that runs during the summer. Establishing such a program would be a great
starting point towards caring for our neighbors.
Major Goal
To run a one-week Day Camp (Vacation Bible School) this summer for children in our
neighborhood entering grades 1-6.
Major Tasks
1. Develop a Day Camp program.
2. Hire staff and recruit and train volunteers.
3. Publicize the Day Camp.
4. Run the Day Camp.
5. Conduct follow-up.
Measures of Success
1. 60 children will attend – 40% from OOB; 30% their non-churched friends; 30% non-
churched from OOB neighborhood.
2. 20 people will volunteer, with at least 40% being adults.
3. Campers will know that God loves them.
4. Some of the campers will come to know Christ.
5. Two families will begin to attend OOB worship services in the fall.
Assumptions and Possible Problems
1. We assume that we can run a Day Camp in our church building and nearby areas.
2. We assume that people will volunteer.
3. We assume that we can hire ministry staff under government programs.
4. We assume that our families will register their children and invite their children’s friends.
5. We assume that the ministry will be self-funding, except for staff.
6. Inclement weather may cause us to cancel outdoor activities.
People or Groups to Consider
Church members and adherents, particularly those with elementary-aged children
and/or experience teaching children.
Staff and Elders
Families in our neighborhood.
Governments (municipal for any safety regulations, provincial and federal for staff grant
programs).
