The Rockbridge Seminary course, The Theology and Practice of Evangelism, helps students lead a church to shift its focus from internal to external. After completing the course, students are able to: 

  1. Identify ways the church is failing to bridge to postmodern culture
  2. Articulate the biblical and theological basis for evangelism
  3. Apply early church and Celtic evangelism approaches to evangelism strategy today
  4. Analyze what a shift to “missional” means for a church
  5. Identify approaches that can be used to start spiritual conversations
  6. Assess a church’s strategy for evangelism based on a missional scorecard
The course uses these textbooks: 
Two major assignments in the course: 
  1. Theological paper on evangelism (the biblical purpose of evangelism, the practice of evangelism in the local church, the responsibility of church leadership in leading others to fulfill the purpose of evangelism)
  2. Church evangelism assessment (using a “missional scorecard”)
