Share Your Hope: 2026 Evangelism Goal
We continue our annual churchwide evangelism focus, “Share Your Hope.” Our challenge this year is to get everyone involved by doing something: gospel conversations, outreach ministries, or even volunteering at a soup kitchen. Our goal is to equip and encourage the whole church to share the same unchanging message through countless methods as God opens doors.
