“Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near; repent, and believe in the good news.’” —Mark 1:14-15
The proclamation of the gospel is the fundamental activity, the most basic work, of the Christian community. It is every Christian’s responsibility, a collective challenge. No one finds God alone. No one discovers the good news of the kingdom of God and the new life of Jesus without an invitation. Do you know that there is good news for a world that is desperately in need of a more transcendent and life-giving vision of itself? Do you care enough about your faith to extend the invitation?
—Bishop Robert O’Neill, Diocesan Convention, 2005
The Diocese of Colorado supports the work of proclamation — of evangelism — through the Canon Missioner, the Commission on Mission Strategy, our Congregational Development Consultants, and the Congregational Development Institute. These groups work to energize, support and grow our Church by developing a comprehensive strategy of evangelism that establishes new congregations, and develops existing congregations throughout the Diocese of Colorado. You can learn more by visiting the Ministry Support section of the website.
