Why Modern Evangelism

Even after living in a post COVID-19 world, some church leaders are still struggling to understand why Modern Evangelism is even needed. We'll unpack why Modern Evangelism is essential.

10:15AM

Top 7 Roadblocks to Modern Evangelism

We've discovered 7 Common Roadblocks that are preventing churches from Modernizing Evangelism. During this session, attendees will learn, in detail, what those roadblocks are. Understanding these roadblocks are foundational to Modernizing Evangelism.

11:00AM

Discovering Your "And"

In Matthew 4:23, the Bible tells us, "Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, AND healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people." There is a very important lesson that we need to learn from and incorporate into how we reach people. Every church has an And. An understanding of this AND is critically important for a church to understand and to portray in its community.

11:30AM

Developing a Unique and Consistent Identity

Why does a unique and consistent identity matter for churches? Without a consistent and unified identity, it can be very difficult to build trust within your community of interests. And, trust is essential.

Modern Technology Overview

Newer technology can infinitely increase your capacity to consistently stay connected with individuals and provide insight on who is showing the most interest. It takes a unified strategy + expertise + effort over time to reap the benefits. In this session, we'll talk through the basics.

1:45PM

How to Build a Weekly Communication Strategy

It has never been easier to reach more people in more ways. And yet, most churches' websites, social content, email communications and so on have not been updated in months or even years. It is important to implement a weekly engagement strategy that is continually improving. A simple strategy can go a long way towards staying top of mind, all the time.

2:15PM

Church Skills Inventory

As your church begins to Modernize Evangelism, it is important to know what skills are needed. During this session, we'll talk through a strategic skills inventory to help you better understand what skills are needed and what skills your church has.

2:30PM

Modern Evangelism Maturity Matrix

Modernizing Evangelism at your church is a journey. During this session, we'll help you understand where your church is on that journey and what you need to focus on next.

Wrap Up

Experience

What others have to say

We recently invited Chris Dellen from Rethinking Evangelism to speak to our Illinois Conference pastors about digital evangelism.Chris’s presentation was inspirational, informative, and essential on how to connect with on-line interests. Furthermore, Chris shared the power of branding, promoting church ministries, and building meaningful relationships through your media footprint. As a church leader, Chris understands the challenges many of our churches face and offered an array of customizable, hands-on options. I would highly recommend DELMAR services as a viable option for any conference to consider.

The "Rethinking Evangelism" workshop both challenged and inspired our pastors to see new ways to reach and maintain contact with souls in their respective communities. Every pastor and administrator needs to rethink how they have been doing and teaching evangelism and Chris has some of the best ideas out there.

We invited Chris to present to our pastors at our annual winter ministers’ meetings and found his 4-hour workshop incredibly practical and inspirational. Chris spoke in a dynamic, engaging way using language that even pastors with no marketing or technological background could understand. I have heard nothing but positive feedback from attendees and I believe this workshop is important for any church leader as our world continues to change, affording us unprecedented opportunities to reach people in our communities and around the world.
