This April, our church is hosting a Reach Conference. The purpose of the conference is to train and equip local churches in evangelism, discipleship, and missions. The idea began at Bethesda Free Church, Sunderland and has spread to other churches.
Who is it for?
Anyone who is actively involved in a local evangelical church is welcome to join us. We have purposely scheduled our Reach over the school holidays so that young people who are off school will be able to join us for the entire conference.
What should I expect?
- Evangelism– You will receive practical training on how to work up a conversation with strangers, change conversations into spiritual ones and how to explain the gospel simply and biblically to people from all walks of life.
- Discipleship– You will see how you can get involved in investing in other believers as they grow in their faith and the importance of commitment to the local church.
- Missions– You will learn about your’s and your church’s responsibility toward foreign missions whether God calls you to stay or to go.
- Fellowship – You will meet others who are excited about sharing their faith and who want to walk with and live for Christ.
By the end of the week, we hope that you will have grown in your walk with God, made friends who will encourage you to keep living for Christ and gained the confidence to share your faith.
