This week’s Barna Minute looks at the various ways churches teach people to share their faith.

“How Churches Can Coach Christians to Share Their Faith,” Barna’s sixth issue in the Spiritually Open series, reveals pastors’ responses to if their church offers formal training for how Christians can share their faith with non-Christians.

By and large, pastors see their sermons as the main form of training for faith-sharing, with roughly three-quarters (74%) noting this as the top method used by their church. After that, nearly half of pastors share that formal training happens in classes (48%) and small groups (47%). Local outreach and short-term mission trips round out the top training methods. Meanwhile, 16 percent of pastors say their churches don’t offer any formal training to help Christians share their faith.
