“God chooses the poor, the broken, the messy, the marginalised. And he does so to demonstrate that salvation is all of his grace.” This module looks at how we can and should be engaging the marginalised around us.
The Evangelical church in the west is not known for its strong engagement with the marginalised. This module seeks to address that issue. Looking at the trend in the UK and the USA you will examine who exactly the 'marginalised' are, what it is we need to do and how Gospel Community is integral to this. You will examine how to evangelise the heart, engaging the 'story' that you hear and relating it to the Gospel Story and then how we can be communities where the marginalised find a home.
