Sharing the Good News of Evangelism

ILT welcomed 39 students to the Evangelism course being taught by Rev. Mark Mattes, Ph.D. This class is designed to equip and empower sharing Christ in ministry and is made up of pastors and lay people alike from various locations. It was offered free and open to the public to celebrate the founding of ILT’s Center for Congregational Revitalization.

The Center for Congregational Revitalization (CCR) works with pastors and congregations to bring vitality back to their mission as Christ’s church. CCR is in the development stage, as we research the state of congregations in North America. Both vibrant as well as declining congregations are being studied, with the purpose of finding ways to help return vitality to congregations that seem to be unable to grow.
