Lifestyle Evangelism Forum

Lifestyle Evangelism - Get Engaged!

What is lifestyle evangelism? Not all of us will be full time evangelists and pastors, BUT all of us will be bi-vocational ministers of the gospel. So, come and find out what evangelism looks like. Life on life. In the secular world.

Come dialogue with Ronn Elzinga, Portland lawyer and Christ follower. Ronn is an elder at Irvington Covenant Church – a multi-ethnic community of believers in NE Portland and a member of Advisory Council for New Wine, New Wineskins.

Ronn will share with us his passion for lifestyle evangelism and we will discover what Pauline tentmaking looks like in the 21st century.

An Uncommon God and the Common Good: A Collapse-Proof Evangelical Church

View map

An evening of worship, encouragement and teaching

Dear Westside Pastors and Church Leaders,

Recent articles have been published in Newsweek, Time, and the Christian Science Monitor regarding the speculated collapse of the evangelical church. We can either fear the collapse and retreat inside our church walls, or break down those walls and make an even greater gospel impact. Evangelicals have a rich heritage of outreach to hurting people around the world, and we are reaching out compassionately in increasing measure in our surrounding communities. Will you come and join us as we fan the flame of this year’s Season of Service with the Luis Palau Association, and as we celebrate what Portland area churches are doing to reach out beyond their walls? We will be challenged and inspired by a message from Dr. Paul Louis Metzger, professor at Multnomah Biblical Seminary and founder and director of its Institute for the Theology of Culture: New Wine, New Wineskins. We will also have the opportunity to hear from panel members who are on the front lines in loving our community and world.

Sponsored by New Wine, New Wineskins, Palau Season of Service, Beaverton Foursquare Church, Sunset Presbyterian Church, Cedar Mill Bible Church, and Common Ground Church.

Throughout its history, the Church has always been involved in the task of engaging with culture. Yet the cultural shifts that have been transpiring over the last several decades have catapulted this ever-present task to center stage. One sign of the recovery of the importance of a specifically theological engagement with culture is the birth of Cultural Encounters. This journal promises to provide a much needed forum for Christians from a variety of ecclesial backgrounds and who represent a diversity of theological viewpoints to engage in a scholarly conversation about the implications of a central evangelical conviction that they hold in common, namely, the acknowledgment that Jesus Christ is the Lord of culture.

New Wine’s events provoke significant thought on key issues in our culture. I always come away challenged to think more deeply and more Christianly. The events dealing with the problems of racialization in our culture and in our churches have been especially helpful, inviting us to move beyond shallow analysis and band-aid solutions. If you want to grapple with tough and insight-yielding questions, come to a New Wine event. You won’t be disappointed.
