Does Your Church Send Out Press Releases? Why not?

We talk a lot about SEO and social media on the Church Marketing Online, but one thing I haven’t talked much about (if at all) is press releases. Often times I think people think of press releases as being something for businesses or politicians or that something has to be amazingly spectacular to be worthy of a lofty press release, but that isn’t the case, especially in the Internet age.

Giving People A Reason To Come To Church

I ran across an article by Dean Seddon recently about why people don’t come to church and it got me thinking…not so much about those specific reasons that he mentioned, but rather about the church marketing approach that we churches use.

The Cool Church? What Message Should Your Church Really Be Sending?

From MyNakedPastor.com to coffee houses in the sanctuary churches have been trying to reach the world and appear “relevant”, especially the younger generations.

Assumptions Lead You Down The Wrong Path

This weekend I was listening to a book on economics because I’m a complete dork and that type of stuff interests me. One of the lines that stuck out to me was a truism of statistics that the author quoted, “Correlation does not equal Causality.” In other words, just because two things seem connected doesn’t mean that one caused the other.

Today, I was catching up on some church marketing reading and came across Todd Henry’s article at Church Marketing Sucks, “Eliminating False Assumptions“. He was writing about the same type of thing. In his article he writes about how we need to be careful not let assumptions control what we do, but rather examine what is really happening and challenge those assumptions. Read More
