School of Evangelism
Making Disciples Together:
The Whole Church Taking the Whole Gospel to the Whole World
The Baptist World Alliance has designated May of each year as a month for a special emphasis on evangelism as an expression of its passionate commitment to evangelism. In order to help churches engage with this focus, we are pleased to provide to churches around the world the School of Evangelism course that can be taken individually, in small groups, or as a church-wide initiative. Built as a series of video modules from contributors from around the world, we believe it will encourage and equip the global Baptist family in our collective calling to make disciples.
