Evangelism Initiative

Evangelism & Discipleship

A dedicated team mobilising the local church across the Illawarra to share the Gospel with boldness, unity and love.

About the Initiative

What is the Evangelism & Discipleship Taskforce?

The Evangelism & Discipleship Taskforce exists to equip and encourage Christians across the Illawarra to share their faith and disciple their friends — in their homes, workplaces, neighbourhoods and communities.

Working across denominational lines, the taskforce brings together pastors, leaders and everyday believers united around the common mission of seeing the Gospel proclaimed and people coming to know and follow Christ.

This is an expression of Together for the Illawarra's heart for evangelism and discipleship — believing that when the Church works together, the reach of the Gospel goes further.
