SHARE YOUR FAITH
Equipping You to Have Natural Conversations About Jesus
Sharing your faith doesn’t have to mean having all the answers, delivering a perfect presentation, or forcing a spiritual conversation.
We want to help you grow in confidence and become more intentional about sharing the hope of Jesus with the people God has already placed around you.
Whether you’re looking for practical training, a book to read, resources to give someone, or an opportunity to put what you’re learning into practice, you can start here.

The 9 Arts of Spiritual Conversations by Mary Schaller and John Crilly

The 9 Arts of Spiritual Conversations helps you develop practical skills for building relationships and naturally creating opportunities for conversations about faith.
Great for: Learning how to start and navigate spiritual conversations.
Share Your Faith Through Serving
Learning how to share your faith is important. Eventually, though, we have to step into places where conversations can actually happen.
Serve with the Good Neighbor Kitchen Street Team
The Good Neighbor Kitchen is about more than serving great food. It creates opportunities to meet people, build relationships, listen to their stories, pray with them, and share the hope of Jesus.
The Street Team helps make that happen.
While volunteers prepare and serve food, Street Team members intentionally engage with the people around the truck. You might welcome someone, start a conversation, hear their story, offer prayer, help connect them with resources, or have an opportunity to talk about faith.
You don’t have to be an expert evangelist. You simply need to be willing to listen, care for people, and learn how to recognize opportunities for spiritual conversations. Learn more.
Host a Neighbor Night
What if your driveway, backyard, cul-de-sac, or neighborhood gathering became a place where relationships could grow?
Neighbor Nights help you create a simple gathering for the people who live around you. The Good Neighbor Kitchen can help provide the food while you provide the invitation.
The goal isn’t to turn your neighborhood into an event. It’s to help you know your neighbors, build trust, and create space for relationships and spiritual conversations to develop naturally.

EVANGELISM IS PART OF OUR STORY
Christ Community was built on a conviction that the good news of Jesus is meant to be shared.
From the beginning, our church has sought to reach people who are far from God, create environments where they can encounter Jesus, and equip everyday people to live with that same mission wherever God has placed them.
Evangelism is part of our legacy, and it continues to shape who we are becoming.
