Together with the IZB, deputies offer evangelisation missionary annual themes. There appeared to be a surprisingly high level of interest in them, which is why they will also become available for the 2026-2027 season. Churches can sign up now for such a missionary annual theme.

Materials and guidance

It involves more than helping with a theme and providing materials; we also offer guidance in collaboration with the IZB. What does it mean to be part of God's mission as a church? How may that become visible in personal life? Together with your pastor and a team from the congregation, we want to help you talk about this.

In consultation with church council and/or missionary committee, we work out the theme and make a plan of action. In principle, we are available to the congregation for four evenings, apart from a preliminary discussion and conclusion, during which we look together at the possibility of follow-up.

Available themes
  1. Enough!
  2. Faith and work
  3. Present
  4.  Desire
  5. In conversation about prayer
  6. Focus on Jesus
  7. Believing citizens
  8. From missionary thinking to doing
  9. Giving words
For the whole municipality

The chapters of the IZB Focus method form the heart of such a yearly route, supplemented and supported by equipping the church council, circles and congregation. We like to look for creative ways, broader than just in proclamation and circle work, to involve the congregation as a whole in the annual theme.

Also for vacant congregations

Even if your congregation is vacant, we would like to make this offer to you and work with you to find a pastor who can provide in the services in which the annual theme is addressed.

Apply now

If you are interested, we would love to hear from you no later than 23 March 2026. You can send an e-mail to evangelisatie@cgk.nl. We will contact you for follow-up.

Costs will be incurred for the material and intervision in cooperation with the IZB. Before we make final arrangements with you, we will also discuss this with you first.
