EVANGELISM
In Matthew 28:19-20, Jesus tells us, “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” We are to spread this good news everywhere — to the ends of the earth — secure that He is with us always.
In EGCC, we are called to preaching, announcing, and communicating the gospel, our salvation and delivering the message that Jesus Christ is the Son of God also gave His life as a sacrifice for our sins. In doing so, He ensured eternal life for anyone who believes.
As we are told in John 3:16, “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” And again, as Jesus tells us in John 14:6, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” Accepting that good news and then telling others about it, so they know too, is the definition of evangelism.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH
In EGCCC, our community outreach involves providing professional and social services to our immediate communities and to a group of people who may not otherwise have access to those services. Most times, these services are performed where those in need are located. Our community outreach’s efforts and activities undertaken to engage with and support a specific community or communities.
EGCC outreach involves reaching out to community members, establishing connections, and collaborating to address community needs, promote positive change, and foster social well-being. The EGCC’s community outreach can take various forms and can be conducted in collaboration with nonprofits, businesses, government agencies, or individuals.
