How To Create A Culture of Evangelism In Your Church

Dave Bruskas:

While many churches would consider themselves to be evangelical, I have personally found very few of these same churches to have a strong evangelistic culture.

I wouldn’t evaluate this through the number of conversions reported by churches. That is solely the work of the Holy Spirit. Instead, I suggest we look at some key indicators of an evangelistic culture from Scripture.

One of the greatest evangelists in church history, the Apostle Paul, gives us seven characteristics of a local church with an evangelistic culture. This isn’t a comprehensive list in any way, but I hope it is helpful nonetheless.

1. Preach Jesus

2. Lead By Example on Mission

3. Welcome Unbelievers

4. Love One Another Persuasively

5. Develop Leaders

6. Get Everyone Involved According to Their Gifts

7. Be Persistent
