Lay Evangelist Applications Open
Friends, we are pleased to announce that we have opened our Lay Evangelist Applications for 2026. Evangelists are those who desire to share the Good News of Christ in the world. Evangelists have a particular ministry of sharing Christ’s love in order to help others identify where God is active in their own lives and desire a closer relationship with the living God. Evangelists are those people already gifted, or desiring to develop the gifts, of sharing their faith in their everyday lives with others.
Are you called to be a Lay Evangelist?
A relationship with God and a commitment to sharing your faith with others
A commitment to your congregation
A desire to help people in your congregation learn how to connect with those in their community and share their faith
The ability to connect authentically with others through sharing and listening
