Five ways to tell if your church is evangelistic as well as evangelical

1. Your average church member tries to tell their friends and colleagues the gospel—no one thinks it’s a job only for pastors.
2. When someone starts coming and is converted, they invite their friends along without anyone telling them to—because church cultures are caught more than they’re taught.
3. Every member knows they can bring any unchurched friend to any service, and they’ll be made to feel welcome, hear the gospel of grace in a way they can see is relevant, and not be patronized or ignored.
4. At least once a year, you tweak or overhaul your services to make them more friendly to newcomers—your community’s culture is changing constantly, so so must your outreach.
5. Your children tell their friends the gospel in the playground and the park—and their parents encourage them to do it.
