Description
This Outreach offers a rich mix of community engagement, evangelism, and fellowship.
Ministry details
The team will spend the mornings reaching out through prayer walks and street evangelism, while afternoons and evenings include themed events such as youth outreach, an art night, and a ceilidh. Time is also set aside for rest, team bonding, and participation in local church life. The schedule is designed to be both purposeful and relational, allowing for deep connections with the community and each other.
Purpose
The purpose of this outreach programme is to engage with the local community through intentional acts of service, creative expression, and relational evangelism. By combining prayer walks, street outreach, and youth-focused activities with times of worship, rest, and fellowship, the programme aims to build meaningful connections, share the hope of the gospel, and support the ongoing work of the local church. Through this week of mission and ministry, we hope to encourage both the team and the community to grow in faith, love, and unity.
Participant profile
We’re looking for people who love Jesus, understand the gospel, and want to share His light with others—especially children and young adults. This outreach involves daytime kids' activities and evening events for young adults, so a friendly and flexible attitude is key. Campbeltown is a small coastal town with a strong community feel. Be prepared for all kinds of weather and willing to serve wherever needed. If you have skills in music, games, storytelling, or leading discussions, let us know—we’d love to use your gifts. You may be asked to share your testimony in a small group, but public speaking isn’t required. Most of all, come with a servant heart, ready to work as part of a team and support the local church.
Notes
If two people register together, the total is £750 for both — saving £50 overall. More about Campbeltown: The small town is among the remotest in the UK and lies towards the tip of Kintyre. It is a conurbation in demographic decline and has seen the population fall by 15% in the last twenty years. In the 1859 revival the, then, almost 10,000 Campbeltonians, so packed the churches that new worship premises had to be built. Now, with a population of just over 4,000, there is an over-provision of places of worship. That, and the effects of secularisation, have resulted in churches merging with buildings re-used for other purposes (e.g. The Heritage Centre). In addition, the area now covered by the Parish church includes the two Church of Scotland fellowships in Carradale and Southend – with only one minister. Another demographic feature is the lack of employment opportunities resulting in many if not the majority of the town’s young people going elsewhere for career advancement following their educational process. Their departure is partially compensated for by a trickle of senior citizens coming in as retirees. Consequently, the town has an unusually high over-65 population representing 29% of the demographic total. One positive feature is that the decline appears to have drawn the seven churches closer together in such a way that doctrinal differences and niceties are being subsumed into “All One in Christ”. The seven Campbeltown churches are: • Springbank Evangelical Church • The Campbeltown Parish Church • Campbeltown Community Church • Campbeltown Free Church of Scotland. • Salvation Army, Campbeltown Corps • St. Kiaran’s Scottish Episcopal Church • St. Kiaran’s Catholic Church
