Evangelism
The South is known for its hospitality, and no one does Southern hospitality better than the Kirk’s Evangelism Committee. Everyone here was a stranger at one time—and we know that visiting a new church for the first time can be a daunting experience. It is our goal to help people feel welcome and at home, even on their first visit. Visitors to the Kirk are greeted warmly as they enter, asked to fill out a name tag, and invited to share fellowship in Hoffius Hall at the coffee hour following each service.

The Evangelism Committee supports an informal worship service on Saturday afternoon in Hoffius Hall for those who prefer a less formal atmosphere and enjoy upbeat music and praise songs. We also sponsor the Gardening…From Alpha to Omega workshops that meet monthly on the fourth Thursday. The workshops are open to everyone in the community who is interested in gardening.

We strive to provide opportunities for all members to be included in the full life of the congregation. In a nutshell, we joyfully share the good news of the sovereign love of God and encourage active membership in the church and obedient service in the world.
