The Church
Engaging Our Cultures Evangelism
is happening! It is going on all
around us. People are meeting the
Living God in life changing ways. Once
in a while, they show up at church. Once in a while that encounter happens in
church. And then, quite a bit of the
time, it happens elsewhere. One
out of every three people will report having a supernatural experience… In
recent polls and surveys, about 85 percent of all Americans say they believe
in Jesus Christ. Yet, less than half
of them attend church at all. How
can the church engage and attract the people all around us who believe in
Jesus, who have met God, but who have no use for church? Dr. Chuck Denison not only designed and
developed a church that grew from 12 to 500 in worship; he went on to direct
the new church development for the Presbyterian Church USA for several
years. Author, adjunct professor and
pastor, Chuck Denison will lead a
discussion on these important possibilities. You
are invited to join the conversation on Saturday,
July 19th at The
event also will feature a Saturday evening concert, The Sacred Sound of Jazz,
show casing jazz vocalist and recording artist Warren Cooper with special
guest, jazz guitarist, Chuck Denison.
This event is for pastors, elders, worship leaders, worship and
evangelism committee members. The cost
is $15 per individual and $50 per church per five registrants. Lunch is included. Participants are also invited to attend an
11am worship service led by workshop leaders on the following Sunday. For
