What Is An Evangelical? (Part II)

Part 2

January 16, 2023 • Matt Gilleskie, Jay Thomas

In this 3-part series, Pastor Jay and Matt Gilleskie discuss the word in order to help the Bible Church navigate some complex cultural circumstances by clearly staking out our identity as an evangelical church.

In Part II, they address the following questions:

1. What are the most helpful definitions of the term "evangelical"?

2. If we could set forth one positive definition, what might we say?

3. Who is an "evangelical" according to our definition (institutions, people, denominations, theological traditions, etc.)?
