SUMMARY:Pathways Online Course: Mission and Evangelism
DESCRIPTION:Led by: Rev. Dr. Aram Feinberg \nMondays\, April 15-May 20\, 2024  |  7-9 p.m. Eastern Time \nThe overarching goal of this course is to develop a contextual framework for being a Reformed faith community in today’s context. To be more specific\, students will be invited to imagine the contours of evangelism in today’s modern day context\, which necessarily involves a historically based understanding of evangelism as well as a sociological study of those who identify as SBNRs\, which is a growing demographic in the larger religious landscape of the United States. \nThe practice of evangelism must address the needs of society in order for the church to continue its commitment to both the gospel message (love God and love neighbor) and the great commission (go and make disciples). \nClick here for more information or to register.
