EVANGELISM AND OUTREACH
As a church we seek to reach out to the community in the following ways:
1. Lead by example: W encourage our church members to live as positive examples of Christ and actively share their faith in their circles of relationships.
2. Through our website: With an increased use of the internet, our website is an important way of sharing information about Christianity and ways to contact us.
3. Availability: Every week there is about 15-20 people who visit the church with questions about Christianity. Staff members volunteer one day a week to be available for answering questions and sharing their testimonies.
4. Bible Study: An in-depth course is available in various media forms throughout Turkey. Those who complete the course are referred to us by a ‘’Correspondence Course” for the Antalya region. We follow-up to encourage and assist graduates find a fellowship near them.
5. Holidays: We prepare special programs for important Christian celebrations (e.g. Christmas and Easter) because many are curious what it is after watching a movie and/or word of mouth. We usually have large turnouts during these times and we work hard to present a clear message of the gospel through word, music, and drama.
