To Be The Church

Recently, a visitor to NGC wondered why we don’t do altar calls on Sunday mornings. This week, Andrew and Tyler discuss the history of altar calls, as well as why we respond the way we do in church gatherings. It also turned into a conversation about the recent revival at Asbury college in Kentucky. Resources: https:// www.thegospelcoalition.org/blogs/evangelical-history/a-brief-history-of-the-alt...
