Abstract

This study addresses Jacksonville Church of God Seventh Day’s lack of understanding of how to communicate biblical truths effectively to local Seventh Day Adventists. The purpose of this study was to determine to what extent a training program could improve the confidence of church members to share biblical truths with Seventh-day Adventists. The method of study involved training eleven members of the church. These members were from different races, ages, and genders. The training program consisted of seven one-hour training sessions. The data collection methods included interviews and surveys. The results of this study indicate that a training program can increase the confidence of church members in communicating biblical truths with Seventh-day Adventists. This study implies that if this same program were to be carried out on a much larger scale within the evangelical community, it might increase the confidence level of believers and equip them to be more confident in their dialogues with Seventh-day Adventists.
