“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose trust is the Lord. He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit.”
-Jeremiah 17:7-8

Evangelism Ministries
Outreach
The world needs the Gospel message. It is the duty of believers, and should be their passion, to go into all of the world and proclaim the Gospel. Roots to Life is working to establish Bible studies and evangelism groups in places such as: -Juvenile Detention Centers -Senior living homes -Public Schools Roots to Life uses the methods and information taught in the Evangelism Training Class to reach the lost with the message of salvation. Scheduled evangelism groups are also organized in Middle Tennessee and surrounding cities to impact the local areas. This is done in public, both in everyday settings and in opportune times, such as: -Fairs -Festivals -Holidays Participants should be fairly comfortable with public speaking. We recommend first taking part in the Evangelism Training Class, but any who are interested and are in agreement with the Statement of Faith may take part.
Evangelism Training
Roots to Life’s primary class, the Evangelism Training Class, equips believers to share the Gospel. It clarifies what the Gospel is, why it’s important to share it, and how it can be practically shared to all people, from children to adults. The last section is reserved for questions, counseling, and for practice with the methods learned. The class lasts around two hours. Additional classes tailored towards a certain demographic can also be added, with topics such as: -Reaching Catholics -Reaching Mormons -Reaching Atheists -Reaching Children with the Wordless Book Classes can be broken up over a month on the same day of the week (i.e. every Saturday of the month), or a unique schedule can be requested. It is encouraged to request an Evangelism Training Class with twelve or more people for time efficiency and practice. This course works well with small groups or other sub-congregations. Evangelism Training Classes are held at a host house, church, or other facility, with permission from the proper individuals. Access to a TV or monitor that can connect to a computer is highly recommended. Participants are encouraged to bring paper and pencil for notes.
Discipleship Ministries
The source of truth is found in God’s Word. Roots to Life offers Bible studies where any chosen text of Scripture is exegetically taught. The purpose of these classes is to affect the “head, heart, and hands” of the believer. The head, that they may grow in knowledge of The Word. The heart, that they may be passionate in truth and love. The hands, that they may walk deeper in their sanctification. It is recommended that a group consists of two or more participants.
Many concepts are spoken of in the world: love, evil, peace, justice, life, death, and so on. But what does the Bible say about such things? Roots to Life offers stand-alone classes and series-classes on a variety of topics, such as the previously listed, and others, such as: -Defending The Bible -The Origins of The Bible -Church History -Proverbs 31 for Women -Prayer -Theology Evangelistic topics are also used in outreach locations. Some of the titles include: -Life After Death -Does God Exist? -True Identity -Forgiveness -Dealing With Regret Additional class topics can be requested. It is recommended that groups consist of five or more participants.
