Westbrook Christian Church in Bolingbrook, Illinois, where Mont Mitchell is the lead evangelist, includes as a part of discipleship training a great portion of teaching on how people won to Christ can invite and win their friends. New churches have definite strategies to reach people for Christ. Instead of being just one of the things that the church does in a community, evangelism is the primary thing that a new church does in a community. Whether it is through a special postcard mass mailed to the community, a telemarketing call to thousands of residents, a billboard, or even an ad in the local newspaper the new church seeks lost people who need to know Jesus. New churches are places of effective evangelism.
