So, what’s a podcast? Read More
Hi Liz, I'd be happy to talk with you. I'll send you an email through your website.
I came across an interesting video today on YouTube added by BeyondRelevance. They call it a video parable and it imagines what it might be like if a coffee shop run itself and marketed itself like a church. It was a pretty amusing video, though certainly a stereotypical idea of what the video makers think most churches are like. Read More

In the last article, I wrote about how Facebook provides a great opportunity for the church to market itself through their members’ network of friends. We talked about how members can live out their church lives on Facebook, like they live out the rest of their lives and by doing so, can be telling their friends about Christ and their church in a natural, non-invasive way. Not only it is non-invasive, but it’s also free which can be very nice is todays ecomonic climate. So, I thought this post I would list some ideas of ways your members can do this. I’d encourage you to bring this up with your church members and encourage them to actively use Facebook to promote your church and share the love of Christ with their friends. Read More

Even if you don’t have a church blog, you can still use this feature to syndicate other articles. Read More
