Get involved

An important aspect of faith in Jesus Christ is bringing the good news: evangelising. As a church or church member, how can you pass on the gospel? These missionary ideas will help you get started.

Practical ideas

Missionary church-going is about connecting with the environment. It is a life attitude that relates to all aspects of the church. So evangelising is much more than organising activities, but those activities do help connect with people around the church. The missionary ideas and examples below are for inspiration.

Mission challenge

You would like to witness in your community, but you don't know where to start? Gather a group of people and do the mission challenge together! In six months, you will have made a concrete start with a missionary project.

Neighbourhood Day with the church

Neighbourhood Day is a very simple and natural way for a church to connect with people from outside the church. Moreover, it gives you the opportunity to find out what is going on in the neighbourhood and how you as a church can be diaconally present in the neighbourhood.

Invitation to church tasting with the text: Welcome to church. Will you join me?

Church tasting

It's actually very obvious: just invite someone to go to church with you. To 'taste' the faith. After all, why keep what is valuable to you only to yourself? That's what church tasting is all about.

Neighbourhood meal

Eating together connects. A neighbourhood meal proves to be an excellent way to meet non-believers in the neighbourhood from the church in a relaxed way. Before you know it, you are talking about faith together.

Question to God

Ask God is a very approachable way to engage with seekers outside the church. The online platform allows people to ask their questions of meaning anonymously. Churches can connect with an answer team to respond to the questions.

Play café

Why not open up the creche room on weekdays? A play café is a meeting place where little ones can play, while parents talk to each other over coffee. This is where friendships can blossom and openness to faith can develop.

Help each other out

Of course, there are many more great practical examples. Does your congregation have an initiative that other churches could benefit from? Let us know your missionary ideas! If the activity or project lends itself to it, we will post it on this page or in the newsletter CGK Missionary.
