Purpose
The Evangelism Certificate (EvC) program is intended to be used by lay and/or called workers in congregations to gain the understanding and skills to lead, create, and participate in congregational evangelism efforts.
The goals of the Evangelism Certificate program are to develop congregational evangelism leaders who understand the scriptural foundation for a congregation’s evangelism ministry, can evaluate and plan congregational evangelism efforts, are equipped to give an answer for the hope they have in Christ (1 Peter 3:15), and seize opportunities for personal evangelism in all aspects of their lives.
Program
Participants in the program will complete three online 1-credit courses to earn an Evangelism Certificate. These three 1-credit courses were developed with the goal of keeping costs low and the time commitment reasonable for the participants.
