Get ready to 'Engage'
Engageis a new resource from the office of Evangelism that connects faith sharing with disciple making. An intensive congregational resource, Engage is designed to be used in three phases, with the session first, then with a wider group of church ministry leaders and then with the congregation. This resource will help congregations engage in personal evangelism, as well as cultivate a culture of disciple-making in their churches. As participants engage in their own stories of personal transformation and God’s story of redemption in scripture, churches will connect with their communities.

Faith sharing in fresh ways
The office of Evangelism’s new Engage resource stirs a Charlotte congregation to innovative witness

Charlotte, N.C. - Pastor Jerry Cannon still marvels at what happened at C.N. Jenkins Memorial Presbyterian Church in 2011. A year ago, in January, Cannon attended a gathering for pastors of large congregations sponsored by the Office of Evangelism and Church Growth. While there Cannon “got a hold of” the office’s brand new resource called Engage, which emphasizes the importance of connecting evangelism with disciple making. “I was asked if our leaders would form a focus group for Engage,” says Cannon. “I saw it as a way for us to go deeper, but I had no idea of its ripple effect on lives, of how God would use it to show us this is why you’re doing what you’re doing.”
