1. Serve Local Over the past 3 years, over 7,000 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, in March to serve their communities, meeting practical needs and strategically sharing the Gospel. Resources will include suggestions on identifying needs and evangelism resources.
2. Big Day A key part of the ministries performed at Serve Local includes an invitation to Big Day. Big Day is March 31, 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.
3. Statewide Baptism Sunday Churches are invited to mark April 7, 2024, the Sunday after Easter, as a day of celebrating decisions made through Serve Local and Big Day.
