Any idea that you can think of to make the place better and get a good experience from is worth doing in a church. For example, every church needs a bus to reach out to people and help those in need. So when you are in one of its buses, you can share the responsibilities of the church by engaging with people, trying to know what difficulties they face in life and then finding solutions to the problems they face with the light of the Bible and references from religious stories. A few trips to the church and its various programs will equip you with the knowledge of the common problems people face in life. Then when you have new members coming in you have a chance to transfer the knowledge you have collected in the past few weeks. This is an activity you should definitely do in a church rather than not doing it. You can become a valuable asset for the church in helping share its divine responsibility of helping people.
Apart from becoming an unofficial preacher for new members. You can also participate in helping the church collect funds to meet its monthly expenditure. Of course you dont have to pay for every penny the expenses but a little bit of contribution will go a long way. For example, if you have managed to make a friend circle of 10 people visiting the church, then encourage them to contribute something or anything they can for the church. Even a small amount of $1 by each member will contribute $10 towards the monthly expenses. You will be surprised that people will go a step further and shell out $10 or even $50 from their pockets. This small amount helps pay for the wages of staff members, utility bills and even finance social activities like setting up community kitchens or atleast pay for the fuel cost of the bus service.
So, your question should be rephrased into "What I should do in a Church rather than what I should not do in a church?".
The don'ts are more than obvious because you are at a public gathering and are expected to behave just like you would at any other public spot.
However, much thought needs to put into what you should do in a church.
1. Gather knowledge and transfer the information to fellow and new members.
2. Form a friends circle and encourage them to contribute anything to meet the expenses of the Church.
3. Help the church find better ways to reach out to more people - For example help them find a good deal on a bus to help provide pickup and drop off services to fellow members. This one single vehicle will help the Church reach out to more neighborhoods and get more people walking in. There are a tonne of other benefits that bus service can do for a church.
4. Arrive early to clean the floor or dust the chairs. Or clean something or anything in the premises.
5. Apply fragrance to yourself and also take some along with you for the church.
6. Make donations to the church and also keep some change for the beggars that may be standing outside.
7. Help them buy a printing press so they can print their own books and pamphlets for propagation.
You may not realize it, but God and the spiritual beings living in the church are watching you and they will help you in return. They will help you for the reason you are visiting the church, thus bringing to fruition the time and money you have invested in the religious institution. For example, there is a reason you believe in God and visit the Church every week. Maybe you want to build a Mansion for yourself in Heaven or simply get Divine help in any task you undertake in this world. The spirits will help you in all your undertakings because you have been very helpful in the path of God and to the Church in all its undertakings. It goes without saying. Just do your religious job, play the role of a true devotee and leave everything else to God and the spirits. They are the real friends that you will never find among humans, what else could you ask for?
Church growth is severely hampered by the limited number of parking space in its vicinity. As a church grows, the clergy has to search for better and bigger locations to accommodate the increasing number of vehicles being parked near their premises. One of the best things you can do for a church is to help them buy a used bus for sale so they can start offering home pickup and drop services to members. On an average a minibus for sale would cost anywhere from $15,000 to $35,000 depending on the vehicles age, mileage, features, size, seating capacity, type of engine, type of transmission etc. You personally dont need to pay thousands of dollars for the entire bus because firstly the church will have its own budget to buy the vehicle. If the budget is not big enough then the dealership will assist the church in getting financed by 3rd party institutions at attractive interest rates. The Pastor or Bishop can make a public announcement and ask members to make a one time contribution to help them pay for the small bus. For example, if there are a total of 100 adult members then each can be requested to make a one time contribution of $250 to pay for a decent $25,000 bus. This is a win-win deal for the members because they no longer have to drive their private vehicle, wait in a que for refueling, pay for gasoline or parking. The annual savings can be transferred in advance to the church to help it buy the bus. This will eliminate the financial advantages for the members but will help them relieve the stress of driving in their personal vehicles. Members love the idea of traveling together in a church bus.
So the bus is paid for by the members, all you have to do is locate a good dealership that sells fully functional, reliable and dependable used buses to its customers anywhere across the USA. Of course you can do your own research online but Major Vehicle Exchange is one such dealership that has been selling its fully reconditioned shuttle buses to churches across the United States for more than three decades. We are a licensed and bonded dealership in compliance with state automotive regulations. By now you know we are the good guys, bonded by law and fair in all transactions. We have a long list of customers who have purchased our vehicles, used them for more than a decade and then sold them back to us when it was no longer needed. We stand by our customers throughout the bus ownership process, from purchasing, owning to disposing off. Before we sell our used buses to a new buyer we fully repair them from bumper to bumper. More than 300 parts are inspected, fixed and replaced if needed. This makes sure the bus is fully operational and ready to hit the road. As a mark of quality we even get them certified from DoT technicians and encourage test drives and inspections by qualified inspectors.
