Opportunities for Small Churches to consider:
Unbinding the Gospel Project
This 12-month evangelism project is based upon findings from the Lilly Endowment research done by Martha Grace Reese, MDiv, JD. The study focused on highly effective examples of evangelism in mainline churches and the motivations for evangelism. This process is about breaking the curse. It’s about untying the knots that keep us from living exciting lives in the Spirit. It’s about unbinding the Good News, God adores us and everyone else, that has been shown to us through Jesus Christ. This process is unabashedly about evangelism: faith sharing.
If you would like to hear more about this process, email Rev. Carol Divens Roth or Cindy Miller or call at (412) 323-1400. Click here for an informational brochure.
