Evangelism

The goal of our evangelism is simple. It is to encourage, train, and equip God's people to be bold witnesses for Jesus. Telling the Good News about Jesus should be top priority in every Christians's life. It was for Christ Himself during His three-year ministry and deserves to become priority in our lives. Every Christian is Christ's Priest, speaking for people to Him (in prayer) and for Him to people (in evangelism).

When we give witness to our faith with actions in our lives we are serving Him through evangelism. When we invite a friend to church we are serving Him through evangelism. When we greet persons to our congregation we are serving Him through evangelism. Whenever and wherever we speak up for Christ we are serving Him through evangelism. Simply stated, but a huge task that involves all of God's People.
