*This session was shortened due to time*

Four systematic statements:

1) Evangelism points to God, not the church.

But, (2) the church is the necessary outcome of evangelism.; 3) Evangelism is the work of the church; and 4) The church is an apologetic for evangelism.

“Church life” practices that serve evangelism:

• Baptize converts, and only into membership.
• Integrate our lives with one another.
• Do church discipline.
• Evangelize together!
• Invite people to church.
• Install leaders who have a track record of evangelism.
• Feature evangelism stories in our public meetings.
• “Brag” about your church.

This lesson is almost entirely lifted from the following article: https://www.9marks.org/article/connecting-evangelism-and-church/
