The purpose of BCC's outreach team is to glorify God as we equip His people to be laborers who effectively proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ to all people (1 Cor 2:2-5).
Our goal is to penetrate hearts through Word-centered methodologies coming from many angles to engage the whole body of BCC--thus the many methodologies below. Some will resonate more with a person than others, but the hope is that all methods brought to BCC through the Outreach Team will help develop 1) a deeper culture of evangelism at BCC 2) by helping each of us develop a deeper love for Christ and 3) a deeper desire to share Christ with others.
Resources include:
1. Get your free copy of Evangelism: How the Whole Church Speaks of Jesus by Mack Stiles today! This book is free to BCC attenders and members who desire to help BCC continue to build a culture of evangelism. Contact Pastor Ben at ben@bethanycommunitychurch.org.
2. The Hosptiality Initiative - Learn how to use your home as place for gospel-centered ministry-hospitality! The Hospitality Initiative is not a ministry to sign up for but is a series of 3 short training videos on how to use your home for gospel ministry. Find these videos here, here, and here. Watch them as a family, care group, or ministry team! Guided questions and applications are included in the comments section for each video.
