Evangelism

The Evangelism Chairman and Committee are committed to recruiting and retaining Church members, increasing participation in Church activities and encouraging involvement in all aspects of the Church.

Tasks/Assignments

· Identify and execute programs to encourage existing and potential members to get more involved in our Church and to live as Christian disciples.
· Identify and welcome visitors, follow-up on visitors providing information in our Sunday attendance book. Offer an invitation kit to all visitors. Add these individuals to our guest list for Choir special performances and add to our list to receive Church newsletter.

The Evangelism team member introduces new members to the Church and provides a personal orientation on the offerings of our Church. The assigned team member will also be responsible for making “we missed you” telephone calls.
· Stay in touch with members through telephone calls, notes, email and newsletter.
· Provide articles for Church newsletter introducing new members.
· Develop a website to expand our reach into the community, attract new members, improve communications with our members and keep them engaged in church activities, as well as promote community events of interest to our members such as performances by the Centenary Choir.
