Mission Proposal

These is a good chance that the first-time guest is either going from church to church or does not have church as a top priority in their life. Therefore, it is important that guest services gets the guest’s information. The objective is to use the guest’s information to send them an email or to call them on Wednesday or Thursday. The goal of this call is to show them you (Who is you?) care, remind them about the church, and let them know about upcoming events that the church is holding. Hopefully, they will come to another service. If they do, the chance of them continuing to come back on a regular basis goes way up. Beyond this, a second-time guest ministry is something that is uncommon in the church, but shows the visitor or potential …show more content…
As discussed above, the church could have either never met this first-time guest before they arrived or the person could have been connected to the church through an out-reach event. Attraction churches tend to use the church service as an opportunity to present the gospel. However, missional churches usually share what Jesus did for the world during different events in the community. Since the church with the above mission statement is more missional, the topic will be handled from that perspective. However, the church must be careful when doing evangelism. As Mark Denver declares, “the way we do evangelism will inform the way our hearers understand the gospel. The way our hearers understand the gospel will inform the way they live the gospel.” If the church makes it seem like life becomes easier as a Christian or that believers always get what they want, it will lead those people converted in that evangelism believe that (reword this section). This evangelism in many ways will be the foundations (foundation) to these people’s faith. As they later minister to others, they will think back to how it was done with …show more content…
This churches goal, as stated above, is to proclaim Jesus to all nations and exalt God. A major way this church will do it is throughout events in the community. The church is driven to do these events because of the great love that God has showed them and it is an aspect (word choice) where they can reciprocate this love. Missional churches know there is a better chance of people coming to church if they first come to the community. Also, the church is drawn to do this because they understand if someone does not accept the gospel, they are going to hell. Plus, they know the only way for them to have a relationship with Jesus is if they first hear about him. There are a variety of different events that could be done to reach the desired community. The church could go to a local member’s house and hold a cookout. In this scenario, the gospel would not be shared in a formal manner. However, if someone in the neighborhood got talking (too conversational) to a member of the church the gospel may be presented in that. The cookout would be used more to build relationships with the people around the community and draw them to church where they could hear the gospel. The church could also do a sports camp for the kids and teenagers in the community. This event would be easier to have a formal presentation of the gospel. At the beginning of the camp the kids could be split between younger

    The site that I visited was Mercy Hill Church in Greensboro, NC. I went to a sermon, with some friends, that took place on a Sunday night. When we arrived at the church, we stayed together and observed the site. The members of this church all seemed to be within their twenties and thirties; there were a few younger children and a few older women and men, but not many. Most of these people seemed to be from Christian ethnic backgrounds or just unaffiliated with any ethnicity.…

    As Rebecca Manley Pippert says, “Our message is not that we have it all together. Our message is that we know the one who does.” Therefore, evangelism is displaying love for those whom Jesus loves, identifying with them, and pursuing them with the gospel. Furthermore, one’s message and ministry to the lost is not that which has the power to save them.…

    My family moved to Meridian, MS from California when I was around six or seven years old. Since then, all the way up to the ninth grade, my mother took my sister and me to Saint James A.M.E. Church for Sunday services. One Sunday, a cousin of mine brought me along to the service of her new church, and ever since then I have been attending New Freedom Tabernacle. I have found that NFT has certain qualities about it that have always attracted my attention in ways that St. James could not; so, I became an official member of NFT within a few months of the switch. St. James and NFT are two very separate, distinct churches in a multitude of ways, yet they also carry certain traits that make them very similar.…

    The socioeconomic combination is great; no one is considered an outsider. There are all races, and religious groups eating, joking in an environment of heartfelt care and love. It is evident that the volunteer staff value connecting and building lasting relationships for Christ. Matthew 25:35-36 (KJV) “For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.” Jesus concludes this section of the parable by saying, inasmuch as you have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, and you have done it unto me.…

    Grace Baptist Church kindly welcomed my attendance to the first religious service I have been to in over a decade. Each member is actively involved in the church community as well as local charities. Overall positive, the experience enlightened my comprehension of the congregation’s convictions pertaining to religious values and where they are derived from. Pleasantly greeted as well as given a compassionately farewell the members of the church treated me with the utmost respect. Nonetheless, members do not always welcome individuals nicely, such as those within the LGBTQ+ community are not readily accepted as easily.…

    McKnight’s presentation was very unique to any message than I had ever heard prior to listening to his. I’m not sure if it my background or my lack of previous theological study, but this was a very unique presentation for me to view. McKnight talked about Luther and Calvin helping to slightly re-shape the tradition of church. I grew up in an African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church in Kankakee. Growing up…

    Last Sunday, I attend my friend’s Francine church service generally speaking going to church is something that has been installed in me, throughout my upbringing being that, I am a Baptist Christian, but I decided to take a cultural plunge and experience another domination of Christianity. Francine’s Church is called The Evening of the Light and is considered a Protestant church. Prior to attending the service, I was shocked when Francine instructed me to wear a long skirt or dress that went pass my knees and not to wear any make- up. This was so odd to me because at my church there were no dress codes and the members typically wore formal attire on the first Sunday of the month because we took communion and there definitely wasn’t any restriction…

    Starting in October of 2015 I was working with a registered dietitian by the name of Susan Lang, who works at ShopRite in Flemington N.J. The first volunteering opportunity had been to help Susan with a project that was not related to the real service learning, but to her own job responsibilities. Nevertheless, I was asked to stand at a display table and hand out various assortments of healthy store made salads, to ShopRite associates, and given a short script to discuss the taste of each salad. For example, Edamame salad derived from Japan and has high amounts of phosphorus and plant protein.…

    Introduction The concept of “church” was started as the tabanacle where the Ark of Covenent was placed (Old Testament). Then it was transferred into the “Temple building” where people experienced God’s presence. When Jesus came to dwell among people, He was the Temple instead of the building. He confirmed it; “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days” (John 2:19 NIV).…
