Outreach & Evangelism

Evangelism Expolsion at FPC
Seeking to be faithful to the great comission, we offer Evangelism Explosion classes in the fall and spring each year. Participants meet together for 12 weekly study sessions to learn a comprehensive gospel presentation. Each session lasts about an hour and reinforces the learning that trainees will have gained from their homework. Following the study session they divide into teams of three (a trainer & two trainees) for on-the-job training (OJT). They visit homes in their community, often where there is already some church connection, and usually by appointment. In this “live” situation the trainer can demonstrate in practice what they have been learning in theory. Over the course of 12 weeks the trainees grow in confidence, as they gradually take an increasingly greater part in presenting the gospel. In time, and often well before the end of the 12 weeks, they are ready and able to share their faith, not only within the OJT setting but, more importantly, in the everyday opportunities of life. Each trained member is then encouraged to recruit two other church members and to train them over a further 12 week period.

How will you benefit from the training?
You will be equipped to lead others to Christ, at home, at work, on vacation- anywhere in fact that the Holy Spirit gives you the opportunity. Once trained you will be amazed at the number of such opportunities. As well as being able to share the gospel, one-to-one or to a group, anytime anywhere, you will be equipped to train and release others for this essential task of making disciples.
