Equipping U in Evangelism: Simpsonville Campus

We are called to engage in Christ’s mission by sharing the gospel. While we know we are called to share the gospel, many of us never take that step in obedience. For some, it’s fear; for others, a lack of zeal. No matter what has hindered you from living out the Great Commission, this class will give practical tools and approaches to walk in obedience. Join us this spring on Wednesday evenings for Equipping U in Evangelism.
