The ministry of evangelism is designed primarily to win or revive personal commitment to the Lordship of Jesus Christ with all persons through the development, promotion, and support of all forms and phases of evangelism through the local community and among the present membership of the church; to promote church growth, worship, and celebration, the practice of prayer, and the use of hymns and music in praise of God, the reading of the Bible in public and in private; and to bring the membership to an understanding of the theological meaning of Christian stewardship and its application to his/her life, including the use of time, influence, personal abilities, and material resources.
