Objectives
- Create opportunities for churches and schools to come together (virtually) for physical activity
- Create opportunities to invite community members to join the church/school in a fun health-promoting activity
- Maintain ministry in the light of an infectious pandemic, considering all safety precautions
Get Started
- Talk to your church pastor, school sponsor, and other leadership about participating
- Register to participate as a group, or individually
- Plan to attend the online Orientation training session on Sunday, August 30 at 7:00 pm Eastern. The recording will be posted online for viewing later.
- Review the Program Guide, available in Documents
- Visit AdventSource for Made to Move Challenge products, available in Awards & Swag
Community Focus
The Made to Move Challenge is a great way to engage your community and minister to their needs, even in the face of unprecedented situations like the COVID-19 pandemic.
Consider these ideas:
- Virtual 5K walk/run – see the Columbia Union’s Virtual Visitor 5K/1 Mile run/walk
- Family fun activities – provide kits to be used at home or find online activities to share
- Free health screening – work with a local hospital, clinic, or non-profit to make it safe
- Healthy lifestyle education through online webinars
- Health book/literature distribution
- Volunteer as a group at a local non-profit to help the needy in the community
- Get the Made to Move Challenge shirts to show togetherness (coming soon)
Don’t forget to invite community partners, such as:
- Nearby churches
- Hospitals and clinics
- Schools and universities
- Fire and police departments
- Public health department
- Non-profit organizations
- Athletic groups (runners, bikers, etc)
