Spring Outreach Strategy
The Spring Outreach Strategy is a comprehensive initiative designed to help churches engage their communities and share the hope of the Gospel during key moments in the spring season. We’re focusing on four impactful components that will equip your church to make a difference.

The 4 Components of Spring Outreach Strategy
1. 3:16 on 3-16
On March 16, we invite you to share the powerful message of John 3:16 with others. Pastors are encouraged to preach on John 3:16 to share the hope found in what is likely the most well-known Bible verse even among those who do not know Jesus. March 16 can be the launch of the Spring Outreach Strategy in a local church, creating a culture of inviting, serving, and sharing the Gospel across communities and our state.
2. Serve Local
Over the past 4 years, over 8,500 Arkansas Baptists have mobilized to serve their local communities on one specific date. For the Spring Outreach Strategy, churches are encouraged to select a day, or multiple days, during April 12-19 to serve their communities, meeting practical needs and strategically sharing the Gospel.
3. Big Day
A key part of the ministries performed at Serve Local includes an invitation to Big Day. “Big Days” are recurring cultural moments in the year that can be used to invite people to church, including Easter. For the Spring Outreach Strategy, Big Day is April 20, which is Easter, a natural high attendance Sunday. Available resources will help churches prepare for the Big Day through guest readiness, evangelistic preaching, follow up, and more.
4. Statewide Baptism Sunday
Churches are invited to mark April 27, 2025, the Sunday after Easter, as a day of celebrating decisions made through Serve Local and Big Day.
