Board of Evangelism


Our Purpose:

The purpose of the Board of Evangelism is to reach out, with the congregation in order to spread the gospel within our community and the world. This is done using a two pronged approach, that uses in-reach and outreach programs.


What does the Board of Evangelism do?


Assure involvement in mission projects

Assure congregation involvement and support of Christian missions and mission work. Encourage the congregation to get involved and support missions that the Board of Evangelism has chosen to highlight, or that a church member or group has asked the Board of Evangelism to highlight. Provide for the success of All Saints missions and mission trips by offering administrative, financial and advertising frameworks.

Pray for world wide salvation

Encourage the congregation to pray for worldwide salvation. The Board of Evangelism seeks to help our members develop a culture where we pray with and for each other. Jesus said, "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, I am there." (Matthew 18:20). Our Prayer Ministry Team provides opportunities for our members to meet and pray together on Sunday, during the week and at community outreach events. The Prayer Ministry also hosts the yearly National Day of Prayer in the sanctuary and offers training for our various prayer teams. 


Share the Gospel 

Equip members. Encourage members to share testimonies of faith with each other, as well as friends and neighbors. Host special workshops and training to equip our church members to share the gospel using a friendship model instead of impersonal door to door visits. Encourage church members to join a small group Bible study to grow in their faith and knowledge of God, so they can share this message of salvation in a deeper way with those they know. 

 

Use digital outreach. Create and post gospel messages and videos on social media and church website as a way to provide encouragement and to invite people to come to know Jesus as one who forgives, loves and provides eternal life for all who trust in him. 

 

Host a resource table for various outreach events. Such as the Trunk R Treat, the Easter Trunk Hop and Vacation Bible School. Hand out info about our church and our faith and talk with visitors who come to our events about our programs and ministries. 

 


Assist in publicity to grow the church 

Provide advertising. Create and maintain advertising to promote our church services. Help promote events, ministries and programs as requested by boards and groups. Maintain, create and post advertising and publicity for events on the church website, social media and search engines. Create and distribute physical advertising, such as paper flyers and posters. Maintain and update outdoor banners and signage that promotes our church services. 

 

Help maintain the public side of the church website. Create and update selected content on our church website. Help boards and groups learn how to post and update their page on the website. Provide digital advertising services for church events.

 

Boost our visibility in the community. Team up with our day school or an auxiliary mission group, to host a fair booth or table at a community event or market. Talk with people about our faith, our church services and missions and. Invite families enroll their child in our day school or Sunday School. 

 

Welcome visitors and guests. Provide a special welcome at Christmas by putting up a tree and giving away special ornaments to thank them for visiting. 


 In-reach

We help with Inreach training for our members: Our board works with other boards and groups within the church body. We help to plan, advertise and implement various inreach programs and events to equip our members to share the Gospel with others in a natural way. 

We encourage our congregation to participate in daily Bible Study and to be part of a Small Group Bible Study. 

In this way our members are equipped - by the study of God's Word- to go and share the gospel message of hope and salvation. 

We encourage our members to have conversations with friends and family about faith. We encourage members to share about their own faith walk and what Jesus means to them. First by sharing that story with others in the congregation, and then with friends and family. 


Outreach 

We encourage all our members to reach out and share the Gospel of salvation that comes from faith in Jesus Christ. We are all "Ambassadors for Christ" (2 Corinthians 5:20). Jesus wants us to live out our faith by inviting others to a relationship with him. 

Our members invite their friends and family to come to church services, so they can hear the Word of God spoken in our services and sung in our hymns. 

We also encourage our members to invite friends and family to join in a Bible Study group. This helps others grow in faith and the knowledge of God. 

We encourage our congregation to participate in our many outreach events to the public, where they can share God's love and mercy with all.

By encouraging personal growth in faith and by helping others grow in their faith, our congregation members will fulfill the great commission of Matthew 28:19-20

 "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you..."
