OUT-R.E.A.C.H
Respond. Engage. Advocate. Contribute. Heal.
We are a sending church.
At Emerge, outreach isn’t something we schedule—it’s the way we live. We believe every follower of Jesus is called to carry His love into the world—whether that’s across the street or across the globe.
We call it R.E.A.C.H.—and it defines our posture as a sending church:
R – Respond to the Holy Spirit and to the cries of our city.
E – Engage real people, right where they are.
A – Advocate for justice and walk alongside the overlooked.
C – Contribute what we have to build an authentic community.
H – Heal what is broken through prayer, care, and presence.
This is what it means to R.E.A.C.H.:
We don’t just gather—we go.
We don’t just serve in here (the building)—we shine out there (the world).
We’re committed to equipping you to live on mission every day—because outreach isn’t a moment. It’s a movement.
WHY OUTREACH MATTERS
Jesus didn’t just teach in the temple—He walked the streets, touched the hurting, and lifted the overlooked. As His followers, we’re invited to do the same.
“The Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.” — Acts 2:47
That’s the kind of movement we want to be: not a church with outreach programs, but a people living as missionaries in everyday life. We R.E.A.C.H. out because:
The gospel is still good news.
Our city needs hope.
Our neighbors matter to God.
Justice reflects the Kingdom.
Mission is not a department—it’s our discipleship in action.

Berkeley is our backyard—and our mission field. Our local outreach strategy is rooted in presence, partnership, and practical love.
Global R.E.A.C.H
Jesus’ final words were global in scope: “Go into all the world.” Our global outreach is grounded in partnership, prayer, and participation.
Justice Initiatives
We believe justice and mercy are central to the gospel. We seek to educate, equip, and engage the church through workshops, and advocacy efforts.
