Some may ask why should their church join. Glenn Barth gave seven reasons why your church should join a community collaboration. One reason is Jesus' prayer in John 17. Also, God values the city. God has already revealed the perfect city in heaven. Caring for the least is a central theme of the Bible. It is stressed repeatedly in the Bible. Another reason is that by joining forces, we can see an increased impact. We should also join together for fellowship and support. Community initiatives can create a healthier place to raise children. Finally, when issues in the community arise it is good to know your allies.
The reasons your ministry should join is to gain endorsement by the wider church, because the volunteers are in the church, and to utilize the expertise and funding in the church.
