Church Marketing

Some people don’t like the term “church marketing,”  yet those same people will create websites, business cards, etc for their church.  Some say that it is a term from the secular world and that we should avoid it, but marketing is defined as promoting or distrubting. We need to be aware how the world is perceiving the message we are trying to reach them with. 

As a future church planter I have tried to be more conscious of the “marketing” side of ministry and the church.  I have found that their are numerous websites that seek to help us reach people with gospel through a clear and creative marketing.  I type all this not to introduce a new creative marketing strategy, but instead to introduce a creative video.  I hope you enjoy. 

Out of Town and Server Down

Those are my excuses for the lack of blogging.  Hope all are doing well, here is a short update and a short video. 

A few notes

• Last week Jenn and I were at Fort Caswell for Church Planting Basic Training.  It was a great week in a lot of ways, but really tough to be away from Noah.
• Thanks to my parents who sacrificed a week to come hang out with their grandson. 
• Voted today-No More Ads!!!
• Planned a preview trip to Mexico in January.  I can’t wait to see those kids and look forward to taking the youth this summer. 
• Preaching this Sunday.  We are in the middle of a series on the attributes of God and I have the Wisdom of God.  If you have any good resources let me know, it looks like we are headed to Romans 11:33-36. 
• Had a great Festifall!  Families and Kids running all over the place thanks for all the work.  Know we need to follow up. 

As I mentioned my parents were in town this week and that included Halloween.  I hope you enjoy the short video my mom put together. 

Go Cubs Go!

I haven’t said much this year about my Cubs, but the fact is they are in first!  I know we have a couple of teams on our heels, but I have confidence that we can take care of business.  So I hope you enjoy this youtube video with the 2008 cubs. 

 

You Tube Tuesday

A while back my friend Josh had a great post challenging pastors to articulate well.  He gave us numerous reasons to consider the challenge, but I would like to add one more– you don’t end up doing this.
