Growth in Evangelical Churches

  • But, there are some Christian Churches that are growing in number. Often these are the Evangelical Churches.
    • The word ‘evangelical’ comes from the Greek word for the Gospel.
  • Some people say Evangelical Churches are closer to the spirit and message of Jesus.
    • This is because they can seem more welcoming to all people.

Evangelical Churches

  • Evangelical churches are often more involved in helping marginalised people.
  • The style of worship of Evangelical Churches is more informal. So it is more in keeping with modern culture.
  • This suggests that Christianity needs to adapt to survive.
    • If attitudes and teachings are out of touch with modern thinking, and if worship is dull, then people will turn away from Christianity.
