Evangelism and Discipleship

We believe:

• That evangelism involves the whole Church as a body and individuals both at local and international level.
• That there should be a designated evangelist in the local parish Church and for each diocese.

We offer:

• Training and experience in evangelism and a prayer school to help people learn how to pray.
• Small groups/Bible studies/discussion groups.
• A safe, friendly environment to explore our personal faith, our corporate worship and the deeper questions we all have.
• Mentoring and support of new believers by mature Christians.
• A focus on the local and global need for evangelism and discipleship.

We are committed over the next 5 years to:

• Bring people to a place where their desire is to share the Gospel (evangelise).
• Educate the Church on evangelism; what it means to God, to the Church and communities both local and worldwide.
• Develop evangelism within the Church, locally and internationally.

And this is how:

• By developing experience in worship both at corporate (Church) and at the individual level.
• By developing awareness of spiritual self-worth, through worship, experience and study.
• By developing/deepening relationships with others in the Church and wider community through corporate activities.
• Recognising and looking for people in Church with the gift of evangelism, thereby encouraging, teaching and setting parishioners free to evangelise (share the Good News).
• Through bible and course studies in Church services, home groups and informal settings, examining different approaches to evangelism, it’s purpose incorporating word and action.
• By regularly communicating with the parish through personal experiences on the benefits of evangelism and its impact on the parish community.
• Encourage and make available opportunities to travel overseas on missions, ensuring regular feed back to the parish, and that experiences are built upon both at the spiritual and practical level.
