CAN I GET A WITNESS?

The Gospel is too good to keep it to yourself.

The body of Christ is not only called to a personal, private faith, but also a public faith that invites others. This series seeks to reclaim the scary “E” word - evangelism - from the branches of Christianity that have twisted it with shame, fear, manipulation, and hate. Instead, we believe Christ-followers can (and should) be both inclusive AND evangelical. The Greek word where we get “evangelism” simply means sharing good news. We believe an inclusive, justice-seeking, Christ-centered church has good news to share for the people of Volusia County.

You may come from a faith background where being “evangelical” was harmful. You may be shy and unsure how to share your faith. Maybe you’re new to this whole “Jesus thing” and you don’t feel qualified to talk about church with other people. It’s easier to talk to someone we know and trust, but what about sharing God’s love with someone we don’t like? This series will equip and release you to be a witness to Christ’s unending grace and everlasting love, wherever you go - even to “the ends of the earth” (Acts 1:8). Christ is calling us to share our story. The Holy Spirit will do the rest. We just have be willing to say, “Here I am. Send me.”
