Evangelism
1. Alpha Course
Alpha is a ten-week opportunity to explore the validity and relevance of the Christian faith for our lives today. It is a practical introduction to the basics of Christianity with loads of opportunity for debate and discussion. The style of Alpha is informal, friendly and non-pressured.

Alpha is enjoyed and appreciated as much by those who have never set foot in a church as it is by those who once attended and by the regular churchgoer. No matter what their background, whether investigating Christianity for the first time or revisiting their faith, participants get a lot out of an Alpha Course.

5. QuickStart Groups
Sometimes the best evangelist is a Bible and a small group. Unchurched people may not attend a worship service but many are curious about the Bible and Jesus. Invite your friends to explore Jesus in a QuickStart group in the gospel of John or Mark.
Bill Mowry can provide the training and coaching for your church to launch QuickStart Bible reading groups in neighborhood or workplaces.

6. Search
The SearchColumbus mission is to teach believers to join God in “Reaching” lost people through friendships, “one person, one step at a time.” We teach believers to be competent at establishing common ground with the lost, and we empower believers with confidence to engage others in spiritual conversation. We train believers to understand that Conversion is a process, and that God is responsible for the product of saved lives. Search teaches Christians to pray for the lost and helps believers to be prepared to answer difficult questions that block people from their next step toward Christ. We believe that Christians can recognize when and how a person is Contrary to God, and can learn to lead them in the direction of Christ by inviting them to Consider His claims in open dialogue with them. As lost people move Close to salvation, we teach Christians how to lead them into a new life of Christ. Once someone is converted, we train believers in the work of discipleship. They learn a grounded lifestyle that is committed to Christ. Eventually, they learn to reproduce the process of cultivating the love of Christ.
