As the generations pass, it is easy for younger members of the church to lose sight of the undenominational nature of the church. There is evidence of this taking place.

How to Find Contacts as a Preacher
Friday May 2, 2025 6:00pm - 6:45pm EDT
SEC Meeting Room CD
In my first year of ministry, I spent a good amount of time trying to figure out things that can draw people to a Bible study. After time spent on ideas, I had to learn that evangelism should not be that complicated. The first thing I needed as a preacher was a contact. No contacts, no Bible studies. No Bible studies, no fruit. No fruit, no growth. I learned that creating contacts should be my focus. In this lesson I share several ways to create contacts for evangelism.
