Outreach & Evangelism

Disciple-making ministries make contact with those who do not yet know Jesus in a personal way. They provide opportunities to build relationships between those in our churches with those who are not yet a part of the community of faith. They incorporate opportunities to proclaim, hear and respond to the gospel into their ministry strategy.
