"Unbinding the Gospel"

The clear command of the Lord is “make disciples,” “baptize” and “teach” (Matthew 28:19-20). To accomplish this task we are equipped with the awesome authority of Jesus the Christ.

On the 23 of June at 6:30 pm, Pastor Wolfe will begin a small group training series in evangelism from a book titled, Unbinding the Gospel. This book was born from the Mainline Evangelism Project, a four-year study of hundreds of mainline congregations. The authors interviewed over 1200 church members, new Christians and pastors. The authors not only studied effective evangelism, but more important, what motivated those congregations to reach out to people with no church background. One of the most important discoveries is that a vivid relationship with God lies at the heart of evangelism.

A special note from Pastor Wolfe: In my heart I believe that God is directing us to focus our commitments, skills, gifts and resources –including the authority of Jesus-to make disciples. Please take seriously the invitation to join this training event. It will change you, our church and our community. Some of us have been sitting too long on the sidelines expecting others to do ministry on our behalf. No more sitting. No more whining. No more complaining. The requirement is to “make disciples.”

This small group will begin meeting on Wednesday, June 23 at 6:30 pm and will continue meeting on Wednesdays at 6:30 pm through the summer.
