Under construction until Jan. 2026

(From 2021) The Discipleship Team at First Pres in Waynesburg will be recruiting volunteers to participate in a three month experiment to connect with each other and our community.

November 2025, ALL OF THIS WILL NEED TO BE  REVISED 

WHAT IS THE TIME COMMITMENT? We're all in different seasons of life, with different amounts of discretionary time.  But even if you only have 90 minutes a week, or in some cases, 90 minutes every other week  to invest in a three-month experiment, we want to make that time count. Sometimes it's not doing a new activity. Instead, it might something we are already doing, but "seeing" these activities through a different lens.  

November 2025 NEW info.

WHY ARE WE DOING THIS? Waynesburg is the beneficiary a Lilly Endowment grant given to The Center for Rural Strategies' "Rural Faith Initiative." 

Waynesburg is one of two communities that has been selected to receive 10 to 15 hours of consulting help per month over the next four years. The goal is to increase the capacity, collaboration, and effectiveness of our rural faith community here in the greater Waynesburg area.  And hopefully this work will impact other parts of Greene County too.  Here is a link describing some of this.

In the article you just read, The Center for Rural Strategies is primarily a media company.  They will be documenting and pushing out anything noteworthy to their constituency around the country. 

Many of us are already doing various kinds of ministry.  We want to celebrate this and pray together about it. Also, maybe you'd like to see something new happen.  If so, we want to help turn your God-given promptings into reality.

There are only three requirements to join this "partnership." 

First, you want to make a difference - in your family, vocation, church, community, and in the lives of others.  

Second, can you squeeze an average of 90 minutes a week (or every other week) for three months to discover what God might want to do to you and through you? 

Third,  we want to know how we all are REALLY doing.  COVID has obviously hindered our ability to connect with each other.  What things are happening that we can celebrate together?  What can we be praying about for each other?  

Additional details will be added soon.
