WELCOMING & EVANGELISM

Evangelism is the work of sharing the “good news” of God through Christ. It can be, but does not always, include sharing information about a specific denomination or congregation. Welcoming encompasses all the acts of hospitality that take place before and after new folks arrive in a congregation.
