Outreach and Evangelism

Colossians 1:27b, 28 "...Christ in you, the hope of glory: Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus."

It is our desire and goal to help every person in our church fulfill this Great Commission in our community by encouraging and equipping each member of the church family to get involved with reaching their families, friends, co-workers, and neighbors with the gospel message.

Simply stated, this is the vision and purpose of Mt. Vernon in Outreach and Evangelism:

• To develop every members' desire to reach family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Deepening our relationship with Christ first, then His fruit will flow out of us.
• To proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ to every person in our community through personal evangelism. Engaging the culture.
• To provide opportunities both on our property and out in the community for our church family to invite the unchurched. Taking the church to the streets.
• To provide training for every church member on how to connect and reach people they know with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Equipping the saints to do the work of the ministry.
• To have Mt. Vernon be recognized in the community as a ministry that cares for people. Being a church for others.

Here at Mt. Vernon, we believe that we are a church for others, as stated in Our Mission/Vision Statements. We simply do not exist only for the internal benefit of the believers. We desire to grow deeper in the love of Christ that we may share that love with others.
