Evangel Ministry Teams:
The Inviting Team Goal: To invite and assimilate new members into the life of the Church.
Biblical Foundations: So reach out and welcome one another to God’s glory. Jesus did it, now you do it! Be quick to give a meal to the hungry, a bed to the homeless – cheerfully. The Inviting Team’s Purpose: The Inviting Team has many opportunities for serving others and the Lord.
If you have questions about the Inviting Team or would like to be part of the team or volunteer in any of the above capacities email us at info@evangelumc.org |
The Celebrating Team Goal: To encourage Christian growth through dynamic, celebratory worship experiences that glorify God.
Biblical Foundations:
It’s who you are and the way you live that count before God. Your worship must engage your spirit in the pursuit of truth. That’s the kind of people the Father is out looking for: those who are simply and honestly themselves before him in their worship. God is sheer being itself – Spirit.Those who worship him must do it out of their very being, their spirits, their true selves, inadoration. The Celebrating Team consists of two worship teams: The Life Journey Worship Team plans and produces the 8:50 am contemporary service, Life Journey. This service is a multi-media, casual dress with praise music worship experience in the Family Life Center. The Traditional Worship Team plans the 11:00 am Traditional worship service. This service is a more liturgical service with hymns, a chancel and hand bell choir and is held in Evangel’s beautiful, historic, sanctuary. |
The Fun & Fellowship Team Goal: To provide opportunities for Christians’ fun and fellowship.
Biblical Foundations: I bless God every chance I get: my lungs expand with his praise. I live and breathe God: if things aren’t going well, hear this and be happy. Join me in spreading the news, together let’s get the word out. Be cheerful no matter what. 1 Thessalonians 5:16

The Nurturing Team Goal: To emphasize the vital role Christian Education plays in nurturing Christian disciples. Biblical Foundations: Love God, your God, with your whole heart: love him with all that’s in you, love him with all you’ve got! Write these commandments that I’ve given you today on your hearts. Get them inside of you and then get them inside your children. Talk about them wherever you are, sitting at home or walking in the street: talk about them from the time you get up in the morning to when you fall into bed at night. You’ve been raised on the message of the faith and have followed sound teaching. Now pass on this counsel to the Christians there, and you’ll be a good servant to Jesus |
The Serving Team Goal: To focus on mission and outreach efforts in the community around us, both near and far.
Biblical Foundations: In the end I will turn things around for the people. I’ll give them a language undistorted, unpolluted, words to address God in worship and, united to serve me with their shoulders to the wheel. It is absolutely clear that God has called you to a free life. Just make sure that you don’t use this freedom as an excuse to do whatever you want to do and destroy your freedom. Rather, use your freedom to serve one another in love, that’s how freedom grows. The Serving Team of the Evangel United Methodist Church is working to honor God by putting faith into action through service projects in our local community and around the world.

The Green Team Goal: Creation Care – caring for the world that God gave us because we love and respect God.
Biblical Foundations: The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. I brought you into a plentiful land to eat its fruits and its good things. But when you entered you defiled my land, and made my heritage an abomination. The Green Team is planning and implementing a Creation Care initiative at Evangel and in the community.
