description Organizational commitment and spirituality in this study were tested in relation to the concept of evangelism readiness for congregations of churches in the city of Surabaya, Indonesia. The purpose of this research was to find out whether there is an influence of organizational commitment and spirituality on evangelism readiness among members of the congregations of churches in general today. This research investigates the population of congregations in churches in the city of Surabaya, Indonesia. The approach used was a quantitative methodology using multiple regression analysis to measure the effect partially as well as simultaneously between organizational commitment and spirituality on evangelism readiness. Respondents involved were millennials who were members of church congregations in Surabaya as many as 103 people selected by purposive random sampling. The instruments used are the Commitment Organizational Scale, the Spiritualism Scale and the Evangelism Readiness Scale. The results show that there is a strong relationship between spirituality and evangelism, but there is no strong relationship between organizational commitment and spirituality on evangelism readiness. Simultaneously both show a positive relationship. This research proves that there is a relationship between organizational commitment and spirituality on evangelism readiness. The research contribution is as a basic material for the reconstruction of teaching about doctrine and the demands of preaching the Gospel as well as evangelism training in churches because evangelism is the main task of every person who has been saved.
