Evangelism
Evangelism & Congregational Development
Have you ever heard some great news? How long did you keep it to yourself? God’s love for us, shown in the life, death and resurrection of Christ, is the best news we have to share with the world. Its news that will change lives today and for eternity.
The work of evangelism and congregational development is to intentionally widen the reach of individual Christians and the church in sharing this good news. Every church can put systems and processes in place that assist people in sharing their faith and inviting others to claim that for themselves. That’s the work of the Evangelism and Congregational Development teams. We’d love to tell you more.

Growing Your Church - March 10-11, 2012
Download and print a flier to hang in your church or to register by mail.
Do you wish your church was more effective in bringing people to Christ? Join Jim Griffith and Paul Nickerson of the Griffith Coaching Network for ways to learn how. This 2 day event is designed for a team of 4-6 people. Each team must include the pastor and a minimum of 3 key lay people (non-staff) and all must participate in the entire event. Because lay participation is so vital, this has been scheduled for a Saturday and Sunday. Pulpit supply needs to be arranged so pastors can full participate with the team. Space is limited so sign up early! The early bird rate is $300 for a team, but is $400 after February 1, 2012. Price includes meals and snacks.
On April 8-9, 2011, more than 800 people joined for the second conference-wide evangelism education and inspiration event. You can download resources from the event here.
