Objectives

The objectives of the committee shall be to promote and develop the church image by catering for all problems of social nature that affect human beings both inside as well as outside the church.

In consideration of our neighbours, we need to look for ways we can help minimize:

• Social degradation and related public behaviours e.g. lethal drinks, drugs etc. by imbuing hope and self esteem.
• Challenges posed by HIV and AIDS, other sicknesses and disabilities in the community.
• Poverty levels, low levels and quality of education, and unemployment in the community.
• Insecurity in the neighbourhood.
• Degradation of the surrounding environment
• False attractions and promises of cults and other dangerous beliefs.

Suggested Activities as per Strategic Plan:

• Offering bursaries and daily upkeep to orphans and other needy children in the community
• Help the elderly; consider providing a feeding centre or home for them
• Identify special cases e.g. learning and physical disabilities (such as autism, cerebral palsy, blindness, deafness etc) and address those needs
• Establishing a counseling and drug rehabilitation centre
• Strive to eradicate poverty through entrepreneurship training
• Educate people about disease prevention and management, hygiene and healthy lifestyles
