Outreach ministry plays an important role in providing support to your community, as well as spreading the word and spreading love.
In recent years, many churches have begun using outreach as an opportunity to do hands-on ministry within the community and deliver simple explanations of the gospel rather than waiting for those in need to come to them.[1]
Varied outreach programs might be necessary to meet the needs of your community.
As noted by Christianity Today, “The gospel often finds the greatest response among those who are hurt, oppressed, or broken.”[2] Keeping this purpose in mind, it’s best to choose an uplifting name for your outreach ministry.
Below, we list our name ideas that you may use for your outreach ministry.
Beneath the list, we also have a name generator and tips for creating your own outreach ministry name.

How to Create a Good Outreach Ministry Name
Naming your outreach ministry can go beyond just using [Your Church] Outreach. You can come up with a much more inspiring and caring name that reflects the mission of your outreach group.
Keep the following tips in mind to create your own name, should you choose not to use any of the ideas from our list:
- Get inspiration from your purpose. Outreach groups can either lend support to the community in general or serve a very specific purpose, such as youth or elderly outreach. Use the focus of your group to inspire your name, and be sure the name is age/demographic appropriate for those with whom you will interact.
- Keep a positive tone. Your outreach ministry may be working with underprivileged or struggling people in your community. A positive name is a perfect opportunity to make those you are helping feel comfortable and welcome. It will also help you leave a great first impression.
- Don’t use too much insider lingo. The whole purpose of outreach is to extend your support and teaching to those who may not usually turn to the church (either because they can’t, such as those who are homebound, or because they don’t want to). In order not to make any assumptions about or alienate the subjects of your outreach program, avoid using any “insider” terminology that only Biblical scholars or the highly devout would understand.
