Church of the Nativity | Episcopal Church of the Nativity, Sarasota Florida

Evangelism Training

Before being called to Nativity, I felt a call to be involved with evangelism. Not to grow the church, but to share the love of Christ with those who have forgotten or never experienced that love. Church growth may also occur, but only as a byproduct of Kingdom building.

We will start a five-week course on evangelism in May on Wednesday evenings, 6:00pm – 7:30pm. Sessions will begin with a light meal (soup and/or salad) from 6:00 – 6:30, then teaching from 6:30 – 7:30.

There will be a reading assignment (Stay Salt by Rebecca Manley Pippert; ISBN: 978-1784984366; we will supply). Session titles may change, but this is my current plan:

  • 5/7: Evangelism: who, what, why
  • 5/14: Good News: What is it and why is it so hard to share
  • 5/21: Approaches to Evangelism
  • 5/28: Evangelism in Action: Jesus, Pippert
  • 6/4: How are we (individually and as a church) called to participate in the Great Commission: brain storming session

If planning on attending the Evangelism Training, please sign up on the One Stop Sign Up Board by April 27 so books can be ordered. Thank you

Fr. Tim
