Church Marketing?
OK. Church and Marketing. Do these two words go together? Hopefully in the sense that we have Good News and want to share it. I created a Congregational Development page at the Diocese of Georgia website which deals with some of these issues. If anyone know of other resources to include there, please comment below and let me know.
One caveat worth naming...I feel that there are many things a church can do that are good things for churches to do and have as a bonus that they attract people to the church. But in general I am quite opposed to doing things so as to grow a church. It is far better to do things so as to BE the Body of Christ and I imagine that in doing so, church growth happens both numerically and spiritually for those already present. End of sermon/rant. Ideas appreciated.
peace,

Interesting read. I wonder if Our Savior was given enough time to do these things...Seems like building a church takes time.

Our Savior is still at work. Look at all He's accomplished in over 2000 years! He will take all the time that He believes He needs.

Fortunately, The Episcopal Church of Our Savior at Honey Creek still has plenty of time to do the difficult and infinitely rewarding work of becoming the Body of Christ embodied on Dover Bluff Road.
