Evangelism

Discover how to share your faith through story, deep listening, and the witness of everyday life.

Certificate Overview

The Evangelism Certificate equips learners to share their faith with humility and confidence. Through courses on storytelling, the theological foundations of mission, workplace discipleship, and cultural engagement, learners discover that evangelism is a way of life that grows from deep connection to God. You’ll explore how God is already at work in your relationships, your community, and the world around you, and learn how to join that work through natural, loving, and contextually-sensitive witness. Whether you serve in a smaller membership congregation, a workplace, or a neighborhood, this certificate offers a practical, faithful path to sharing the story of Jesus.
