A series of 15 advisory-resources has been launched by the two Christian organisations, put together by Church Army evangelists. The resources will be in an audio format to help churches develop an effective Christian presence in their community.
Churches have been invited to use the tips, developed as part of Church Army’s ‘Get Out More’ campaign, to make contacts with people who have little or no interest in the church.
Church Army is a society of evangelists linked to the Anglican Church but working outside church buildings to enable people to come to a living faith in Jesus Christ.
Church Army's Chief Executive Designate, Mark Russell commented at last month’s youth action weekend: “Church Army is at its best when challenging the church to get out of its comfort zone and its buildings. I really hope and pray that you will encourage your church to use the excellent resources Church Army have made available to help you to get out more to share the gospel through words and action in your community.”Premier Christian Radio will support the initiative by broadcasting the series of easy tips for faith-sharing throughout August and September.
The CEO of Premier Christian Radio, Peter Kerridge said, “I think ‘Get Out More’ is a fantastic concept. In a fast changing world the church must always be on the look out for new ways to communicate our faith.”
‘Get Out More’ is Church Army's campaign to encourage churches to reach beyond their walls and engage with the local community. For more information on Get Out More, visit www.churcharmy.org.uk for a range of FREE materials to help churches to get out more.
The sites contains:
- Prayers for use in church
- Action sheets with Get Out More ideas for your church
- A brief small group study guide to explore the theme of church without walls
- A sermon to use on the theme of Get Out More
