Statistics show that evangelism in the American church has been dying a slow death.
Church growth, so many times, has been attributed to believers leaving one church in his/her area to join another new or ‘exciting’ church instead of the church growing by what’s most important … conversions.
We have been called to turn this tide.
The mission and vision of God on my life and the passion of my heart is to help pastors and churches succeed and excel in the ministry of evangelism – not just as a program, but as a whole-church lifestyle.
While there is a lot of discussion about how to define an Evangelizing Church, we at the Billy Graham Center are purposely setting our standards high according to the present benchmarks. We do so not because our approach is any better, but in looking at the present reality, the Church needs to make some drastic course corrections if we are going to see this generation brought to Christ.
With that in mind, the Evangelizing Church Project (ECP) will move your church towards certain benchmarks that are viable and practical. Look at the ‘to the pastor’ page to see these benchmarks.
