Why Churches Use 321 for Evangelism

Why do churches use the 321 Course?

Churches use 321 because it's simple to run, clearly communicates the gospel and creates space for people to explore faith.

A common challenge

Many churches want to reach out to their local communities with the love of Jesus by sharing their faith. But it can be a struggle to know where to begin, what to say and how to engage people naturally.

A Flexible solution

The 321 course is an overview of the Christian faith that can be done by:
  • Individuals online
  • Groups in person


Most churches use 321 by hosting groups in person over 4 sessions (usually in the evenings or at weekends). They invite anyone to attend who has questions about life, meaning and purpose.

This low pressured environment makes it natural for Christians and non-Christians to sit down together to consider life's biggest questions.

In fact, many Christians have said that 321 has refreshed their own faith and made it easier for them to share their faith with others.

Outreach made easy

321 provides churches with an evangelism approach that's not burdensome. Hosting this course gives churches:
  • A clear structure
  • Short, engaging videos
  • Built-in discussion questions


It's a straightforward course to host in church and requires little preparation ahead of time.

Faithful and accessible

321 keeps the gospel message clear:
  • God is relational (3)
  • We are divided (2)
  • Jesus restores (1)

It’s faithful to the gospel of Jesus Christ and is easy to understand, whatever the course guests' backgrounds.

Designed for real conversations

321 provides churches with discussion questions to encourage faith exploration rather than lecturing people or telling them what to think.

Both Christians and seekers investigating Christianity are able to engage with the course however they feel comfortable.
