In my youth, the different churches got the youth together for different things. Of course, that was over half a century ago. *A couple weeks ago, the youth pastor at our church lamented that he couldn’t rally the youth departments of local churches to join together for a big service project in the local community.*

Some ladies at ours started a ministry called Truth for Women that involves other churches. We have a ministry to the homeless that's housed at another church downtown. It didn't work out due to space, but a largely African-American church offered to host our ministry to skaters (we're mostly white) and we have plans to collaborate with them on extending a ministry to prisoners/ex-prisoners. A church serving the needs of the disabled meets in our building Sunday afternoons. There may be more examples that don't come to mind. When we recast our vision & mission statements a couple years ago, the idea that we need to work with other churches became prominent.
