Evangelism - The evangelism ministry is based on the biblical perspective that sharing our faith is an integral part of our life in Christ. Because salvation is a supernatural event, we also believe that effective evangelism can only take place by the leading of the Holy Spirit. We believe that the higher education that God imparts as we reach out with His message of hope in partnership with Him is an essential part of our spiritual growth. By the same token, we seek not just to be used by Him to bring people into the kingdom, but to also encourage each new and rededicating believer in finding the spiritual support and fellowship they need to grow in Christ. Along these lines, we also believe that sharing our faith is not limited to formal church events, but that in fact the most of evangelism takes place in the living out of our daily lives.
