Purpose
The Evangelism Ministry is committed to demonstrating the in-breaking kingdom of God (Matthew 12:28; Luke 17:20-21) through Jesus Christ and the gospel (Mark 1:15; Acts 8:12, 28:31). We seek to share this good news in the hearts of God’s people (John 3:3-5), our community (Matthew 10:7; Luke 10:8-9; Acts 8:4), and the world (Matthew 24:14; Mark 16:15; Luke 9:60; Acts 1:8) through our service, giving, proclamation, and lives (Matthew 9:35; Luke 16:16; Acts 5:42, 20:24).
Church Member Responsibilities
While not every member is gifted by the Spirit to be an evangelist (Ephesians 4:11), all are called to be witnesses for Christ (Acts 1:8). Following the example of the early church, which “devoted themselves” to evangelism, our members are encouraged to participate in this ministry as witnesses for Christ or as Spirit-gifted evangelists.
Lead Team
The Evangelism Ministry is led by a team of church members with spiritual gifts suited for this work, such as evangelism or giving. The team includes appointed deacon(s), who may serve as lead members or function as helpers and observers. The pastor serves as the elder/overseer of the team (1 Peter 5:1-5).
