Easter is a great time to find new ways to partner with your community. Here’s the story of how one church partnered with their community for an Easter egg hunt.

Easter is a huge opportunity for potential growth in the local church. Often, we turn to creating our own events to help spur larger attendance numbers leading up to the holiday. But what if we thought differently? In today’s episode we’re talking with Kevin Douglas. At Hope Covenant Church in New York, Kevin says they decided to take a different route—instead of doing their own thing, they partnered with outside organizations to create a truly community-wide event.
