As we've been talking about outreach this week, another reason  churches get poor results in their marketing and outreach efforts is because they don't track their results. Here's the truth: if you aren't tracking your results, you have no idea if your outreach/ marketing is working or not.  Butts in the seats is not the only way to see if your direct mail, Facebook ad or Google ad is working. While I would agree that someone attending your church is the end result we want, there are other factors involved.  1. Someone could get your direct mail and go to … Read More

  I once attended a one day seminar that cost $800 to attend. But I tell people that it was free. Why? Because the seminar taught me to save thousands in direct mail and be more effective. My philosophy was, if I paid $800 but saved $10,000, then the seminar didn't actually cost me a dime.   I want to do the same thing for you. Why? Because I firmly believe that now is the best time to reach people. Not only because of the state of our world, but this time of year is historically when people are most … Read More

Just a quick reminder that the $50 off coupon code for our newest resource, "The Leadership Pipeline" ends today. The coupon code pipeline is good for either the CD version or the mp3 download version.   In this 12-CD resource, I lay out how we have created a leadership system at Calvary Fellowship where we have never had to look outside of our church to hire staff. Instead, we've always had several candidates ready to join the staff at any given time. This is true with all staff: Associate Pastors, ministers, ministry leaders, and administrative staff.  But this doesn't happen by accident. … Read More
