Enlarging the Family of Faith

Enlarging the Family of Faith (EFF) provides evangelism training materials that enable your church to reach the unchurched. Rather than impose a program, EFF builds on the talents, desires, and relationships of your church membership team to reach people in their workplace and community.

Click here to find out more about the contents of Enlarging the Family of Faith, as well as information on how to use the materials.

For persons who want to come to Christ, but are resistant to developing a relationship with a local church, refer to Tim Isbell’s “Why Join the Church? The Case for Church Membership.”

Enlarging the Family of Faith assumes:

• God is already at work in your local congregation.
• His prevenient grace is working in the hearts of unbelievers in your community.
• God wants to use the people He has placed in your church fellowship.
• He has bigger and better plans for your church than what you have discovered to this point.

The materials presented here are easy to use and are adaptable to any size congregation. If you want to grow spiritually and numerically, EFF can help. If you have any questions about how to use the materials, please e-mail us at evangelism@nazarene.org.
