Church Evangelism Institute

Mobilizing Pastors and Churches Towards Greater Gospel Impact

Key Challenges

Most churches are not growing through new believer growth.

Many unchurched people are often open to the gospel but are not being reached.

Pastors lack effective resources to reach the unchurched in today’s current context.

Leading churches through revitalizing cultural change is challenging.

The Church Evangelism Institute has cracked the code on how to get everyone in the church released for evangelistic mission."

Hundreds of lead pastors have now participated in one of our in-person or online Church Evangelism Cohorts.

Key Response

In response to the need, the Church Evangelism Institute was created by Wheaton College Billy Graham Center to help catalyze a movement of evangelism through local churches. Our vision is to see thousands of churches across the United States and beyond, develop communities where many people find their way to Christ and where every disciple of Christ is equipped and mobilized to make new disciples.

Hundreds of lead pastors have now participated in one of our in-person or online Church Evangelism Cohorts. They have come from a wide range of denominations, a variety of church sizes, and they serve in urban, rural, and suburban contexts. Our goal in these cohorts is to equip pastors to lead culture change in their congregations, so their churches become conversion communities with significantly greater gospel impact.
