Abstract
  • This thesis project investigates invitational preaching's effectiveness as the primary methodology to promote Christian Discipleship that inspires spiritual growth within the rural context of Mount Calvary Baptist Church, Freeman, Virginia. The author examines the relationship between traditional African American preaching styles and invitational preaching to determine the spiritual impact upon the members. Prominent findings indicate that invitational preaching is the preferred conduit within the rural congregation, particularly among older laypersons. Theoretically, behavioral changes are most prevalent from invitational preaching. Through qualitative research, this preaching style and sharing theological dialogues connect with the congregation significantly. Thus, invitational preaching in a rural community provides an authentic experience to embrace their commitment to Christian Discipleship and develop their Spiritual Growth.
