Growing and Going with Jesus is an individual, small group, or church-wide discipleship and outreach experience. Through sermons, discussion guides, devotional challenges, and practical outreach, this experience helps us integrate spiritual formation with outreach, showing that discipleship and evangelism are beautifully intertwined at the heart of God’s purpose.
As we grow with Jesus through discipleship, we go with Jesus on mission to reach the lost.

CHURCH-WIDE EXPERIENCES
EXPLAIN THESE....
Top 10 Reasons the Church is Lacking in Evangelism
1. A Lost Sense of Urgency
Most Christians don’t have a sense of urgency to reach lost people. We would do well to strongly impress on believers the reality of eternity.
2. No Relationships Beyond the Church
Many Christians and church members do not foster relationships with or spend time with lost persons. So often our key relationships remain within the church. For the sake of the world, we need relationships with those who are not of faith.
3. Known More for What We’re Against
We are more known for what we are against than what we are for. Because of bad press and poor actions from a few, the reputation of Christ followers is smeared. With loving actions, we can change this.
4. An Inward-Facing Strategy
Our churches have an ineffective evangelistic strategy of “you come to us” rather than “we go to you.” Too many who need Jesus may never step into a church. We need effective ways to bring the church to them.
5. Leaving Evangelism to the Professionals
Many church members think that evangelism is the role of the pastor and paid staff. The Bible is full of proof that not only was Jesus the perfect outreach role model, it’s also clear on the commands to follow and do the same.
6. A Consumer Mindset in the Church
Church congregational members today are more about getting “my” needs met rather than reaching the lost. As leaders, we need to think about how to help them understand that we can meet their needs and still reach the lost.
7. Fear of a Changing Culture
As the culture around us becomes more worldly and unbiblical, fear tends to get its grip keeping believers all the more silent. We need to strive against the tendency to “circle the wagons to protect,” and realize that animosity, hesitancy, and opinions fade in the light of God’s amazing hope and love.
8. Confusion About Salvation
Many church members don’t really believe that Christ is the only way of salvation. This is an error in theology and thinking and coincides with reason #1, which needs reiteration of the truth.
9. Fear of Offending Others
Christians do not want to share about Jesus or the gospel thinking they turn off relationships or will offend others. Even though we hold the hope of everlasting life, many believers stick with the “don’t talk religion or politics” mantra.
10. Lack of Training and Confidence
Many Christians feel untrained or not qualified for evangelism. This is why church leaders need to have some type of evangelism training in place.
We more than doubled attendance. I credit it to the Organic Outreach. People bought into sharing Jesus naturally and are in the community a lot and give Jesus credit where they are at and pray for people where they are at.
