"Evangelism is the heartbeat of God" - Dr. Steve Davis
Praise is important. Worship is going to be practiced by the saints in Heaven for eternity. But evangelism is the number one priority for the Church of Jesus Christ. We know that the earth and all that is in it will be destroyed on that last day, and the ONLY thing we can take with us to Heaven are the souls we've reached for the Lord.
MINSITRY OF OUTREACH & EVANGELISM
We encourage all members of the body of Christ to operate in their giftings, both individually and collectively. We seek to help members to use those giftings to fulfill Christ’s Commission to "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature" (Mark 16: 15) and to reach the people entrusted to them, by God, to reach. Outreach and missions is by no means a mere over land and seas issue, the life of a missionary is one that we are to live out everyday. The goal of the Ministry of Outreach & Evangelism is to encourage members to take on that lifestyle by getting them plugged into regular local outreach opportunities.
The Ministry of Outreach & Evangelism also spreads God's Word through outreach media development & advertising, internet outreach, as well as street evangelism, the Harvest Program Food ministry, literature distribution, regularly scheduled outreaches, and large outreach events (such as conferences and concerts).
Melissa Davis is the Director of Outreach & Evangelism and can be contacted for more information at MelissaDavis@theworshipcenter.org.
OUTREACH THROUGH COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
That's why we place an emphasis on both local and international missions and outreach. As individuals, we are challenged to reach our friends, co-workers and neighbors with the Gospel. As a church, we also have a responsibility to our community and to our country.
One arm of outreach in the community is carried out by our Projects Ministry. The Projects Ministry keeps us involved as salt and light in our community. We have been involved with The United Way, Habitat for Humanity, Jerry's Kids, Christmas in April, The Catherine Foundation Pregnancy Care Center, and Lifestyles of Southern Maryland, as well as other community projects.
