Our Objectives for Evangelism
To fulfill the Great Commission of Christ
The word “disciple” comes from a Greek word which means a “learner” or “pupil.” The essence of the Great Commission is not the going or the evangelizing, but the making of disciples. Evangelism initiates the journey, but discipleship is the aim.
To share Christ’s love for the world
To minister to the totality of human need
To bring men and women to the knowledge of God and to His redeeming grace
To obey Christ by confessing Him to the world
Our Mission for Evangelism
Our purpose is to help
(1) unchurched or nominal Christians to become committed disciples of Christ, and
(2) non-Christian people to become Christians,
For this reason we send missionaries to preach the Gospel of Christ, to train national leaders, to proclaim the Gospel to their own people and to other nations, to help relieve people who are suffering, and to develop mature disciples for the Kingdom of God.
What We Do
The Elm Street Evangelism Department is an auxiliary of the church established for the purpose of equipping the Body of Christ for the work of evangelism, mobilizing the church through organized outreach efforts, and encouraging individual commitment to lifestyle evangelism. Training is accomplished through evangelism courses, workshops, hands-on training and retreats or conferences. Department members receive on going training as they participate in various types of outreach functions and receive training during department meetings. Department members contribute to fulfilling the short and long term goals of the department through both participation in outreach ministry and yielding their gifts and talents to meeting various departmental needs. The Evangelism Department places a great emphasis on continued commitment to the gospel, discipleship, strategic prayer and spirit led evangelism.
Why Join?
All believers are called to be a witness for Jesus and share the good news of the gospel as a part of the Christian lifestyle. Although individual evangelism is encouraged, the Evangelism Department looks for individuals who also desire to regularly participate in group outreach events organized through the department. Those that join the department should expect to be further encouraged in the work of evangelism, be stirred with renewed passion as they join with other like-minded believers that have a heart for souls and a desire to see transformed lives.
