Evangel Ministry Teams:

inviting team

 

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!
Romans 15:7

Be quick to give a meal to the hungry, a bed to the homeless – cheerfully.
1 Peter 4:9

The Inviting Team’s Purpose:

1. Put out the “welcome” sign to the community and develop the church as a place of Christian Hospitality. Programs and procedures are put into place to welcome visitors and new members while leading them down the path to get “linked” to Evangel. “Coffee with the Pastor” is implemented by this team to provide attendees interested in becoming a member of the church with information about Evangel and to guide them through this process. New to the facility in 2009, the information center, “The Link” and “Sacred Grounds” coffee shop. These two rooms are providing great spaces to help the Inviting Team reach out and welcome all.

celebrating team

 

 

The Celebrating Team Goal:

To encourage Christian growth through dynamic, celebratory worship experiences that glorify God.

 

 

Biblical Foundations:


Come, let’s shout praises to God. Raise the roof for the Rock who saved us! Let’s march into his presence singing praises, lifting the rafters with our hymns.
Psalms 95:1-2

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.
John 4:23-24.

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.

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.
Deuteronomy 6:5-7

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

Zephaniah 3:9

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.
