The Church is apostolic because it continues in the teaching and fellowship of the apostles and is sent to carry out Christ’s mission to all people. BCP, p. 854
Come join us for a day of equipping the church! Statistics indicate that 77 percent of people come to church and make a commitment to Jesus Christ through a personal contact with a Christian.
We can have the most incredible parish community, but, too often, it remains a secret.
This course will provide tools for sharing the good news of Jesus Christ through word and deed.
