This course focuses on the evangelistic and church growth ministries of pastors and lay professionals to foster congregational and community development. Participants learn how to assess and understand congregations and communities to develop relevant contextual strategies for evangelism and development. It is intended to help participants reflect on traditional pastoral and public evangelism, evangelistic preaching, and evangelistic resources, to learn how to effectively design and use novel resources and programs suited for contemporary postmodern context. Participants are equipped to train and mobilize lay ministers, implement church growth principles, and effectively use media and audio-visual equipment. The course also exposes participants to the science and art of scheduling, financing, and conducting mission programs and evangelistic projects.
