THE GREAT COMMISSION
Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
Matthew 28:18-20
EVANGEL CHURCH MISSION
Getting more people on the journey of coming to know Jesus, growing to love Him, and living to serve Him.
ACCOMPLISH THE MISSION
How do we accomplish our mission?
Through Reach.
Reach is a generosity initiative that enables us to accelerate our mission of seeing people come to know Jesus, grow to love Him, and live to serve Him. It’s our way of bringing the Good News of the gospel to all nations through a faithful community passionate about generosity. The bible shows us that Jesus gave all He had to reach the lost - and that there is no greater love than this. We want all nations and all people to be reached with the Gospel so that the Kingdom of God is built all around the world.
For over 96 years Evangel Church has been known as a “Missions Church”. Our Reach Vision encompasses everything we have called “Missions” over the years. Through Reach we will not only continue to partner with and invest in all of our missionary partners and ministry organizations locally, nationally, and globally, we will also believe God to expand our outreach beyond all that we could ask or imagine.
Reaching New Generations
We maintain a commitment to reach every generation from the cradle to the grave and we recognize how important reaching emerging generations are to the Kingdom of God. We find ourselves in the midst of the largest and most unchurched generation in human history and we commit to giving generously of our time and our resources to reach that generation and change the spiritual trajectory of future generations.

Become a Reach Partner
As Reach Partners we are committed to extravagant generosity, giving over-and-above the tithe.
“Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”
— 2 Corinthians 9:6-7
ASK, SEEK, PRAY
Spend time seeking God’s will for your life. Ask Him how He wants you to give generously to Reach from what He has entrusted you with. After you have prayed…
PLAN, VISION, DREAM
Make a plan to give. When you have plans and are diligent, it leads to plenty (Proverbs 21:5). God is pleased when you have a plan. Whatever the amount is- have a plan in place, work the plan, and be faithful with it. Start there.
Next, ask God to give you a vision for what He could do through you with His help. This is beyond what you could do with your natural income. This requires you to take a step of faith. Additionally Habakkuk 2:2 tells us to write that vision down and pray about it. Stepping out in faith pleases God. When you consider ALL He has your faith goes to another level!
Lastly, what would be a dream amount you could give? Hold on to that. This number is only between you and God. Watch as each step of faith you take, God moves you closer to that dream. God can do exceedingly abundantly more that all we can ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20).
If you are not yet a Reach Partner we want to invite you to step out in faith. Remember it is not the size of the gift, but the obedience to God’s voice that matters most. We encourage you now more than ever, make a plan to give, ask God for a vision in your generosity, and then hold on to the dream of what God will do as you continue to step out in faith!
We are blessed to be a blessing!
