Evangelism
The Canada and Bermuda territory has identified 7 Strategic Priorities which should govern our focus and efforts in ministry and mission. Strategic Priority #6 - The Gospel and Transformation has become the responsibility and focus of the Corps Ministries department.
The Gospel and Transformation
Goal: To share the gospel, lead people to Christ and nurture them in their faith
Actions:
- Provide evangelism training and resources that empower Salvationists and others to share their faith
- Adapt outreach methods to best reach people for Christ
- Encourage ministry units to work and witness outside of their buildings to bring hope to their communities
- Embrace cultural diversity with sensitivity and openness
- Care for all creation as an act of worship to God
- Create diverse opportunities for worship grounded in Salvation Army doctrine and practice
- Celebrate stories of transformation and new life in Christ
