Outreach

The Outreach Ministry of The ARP Church of Greenwood is excited about the opportunities, provided by the Holy Spirit, in leading us to equip members for discipleship while providing opportunities for members to be involved in local ministries that serve our community and that bring the Gospel to the unchurched in Greenwood.

Opportunities are available to plug into existing service ministries, as well as, current and potential new ministries to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
