FEBRUARY 2020 / TEX AS BAPTISTS LIFE 26
CHURCH REFOCUSES ON LOCAL EVANGELISM
By Bonnie Shaw, News Writer
On his 20th anniversary of being senior pastor at FBC Allen, Chad Selph stepped up to the pulpit to preach with one thing on his heart – evangelism. He asked the congregation to take a leap of faith and devote their time, resources and prayer to reaching people in the city of Allen for Christ. “The population [of Allen] has grown and the city is more lost than it has ever been,” Selph said. “We’re going to have to figure out how to engage them more effectively…we have to get outside of the church walls.”
