Asked by Wiki User
Be it a virtual or real-world community, there are many ways you can help make your community a better place, including:

- help keep the community clean - in a real community, you'd want your lawn to look nice and clean, help keep the streets clean of trash, etc.; in a virtual community like Answers.com, you could help keep the site clean by editing Q&A's, categorizing them correctly, and polishing up the answers.
- take pride in your community - when you love your community and participate as an active and committed member, the pride will come naturally.

Why does the Church do community outreach?
Asked by Wiki User
The early Christians did not expect people to come to them to hear the Gospel; they went out to share with all who would receive. We have no right to expect or insist that people come to church to hear the good news of Jesus, so we must share the Gospel with people where THEY are. Therefore, we need to be involved with the community at large.
