Evangelism
OVERVIEW
In this 13 lesson study of Evangelism, we will define evangelism, explore the relationship between evangelism and the great commission, and answer the questions “who is to do evangelism?” and “what is the gospel we are to preach?”. We will also discuss tactics (method and manner) and the impact that theology has upon evangelism. I hope you can join us. And remember that we will offer Sunday school for children during the class time.
