If you Live Near Hartford, CT…
On Friday, June 25th from 9AM-Noon I'm leading a seminar entitled, "The Pillars of a Healthy Church". I'm totally excited about teaching this because there's so much talk about growing a church, but little talk about being a healthy church. And the only churches that keep growing the long haul are healthy churches. There's a lot more to knowing the health of your church than Sunday's attendance and offering. That's what we're going to spend our time talking about. What can you expect to learn in this 3 hour seminar?– Learn to evaluate your church’s health– How to create … Read More

Outreach Lesson: You have to Test
I was talking with one of our staff members who oversees our Facebook advertising and he was telling me about an ad we use that does very well. What I found amazing was that he told me that when he changed the image the clicks DOUBLED! That's why I say in direct mail and in Facebook ads, testing is our friend. We test the same ad with different images. We test the same ad with a different headline. We test the same image with different copy. Our goal is to get the combination so the ad performs the best … Read More
Avoiding the Summer Giving Slump
The summer financial slump is very common. The reason it's very common is because most churches simply accept that it happens. Instead of just "waiting out" the summer financial slump, why not be proactive and combat it with strategies that will ensure the health and stability of your church during this season? Here's 3 keys to avoiding the summer financial slump: #1 – Inspire new giving in your church by teaching on stewardship and giving a tithe challenge to the congregation. #2 - Help people automate their giving so even when they miss church over the summer due to … Read More

Mastering Online Outreach
At Calvary Fellowship, the internet is a tool we regularly use to reach people far from God. But we use several principles for effective online Outreach: 1. Know What you can and Can't Do – Online evangelism/ marketing is most effective when you're inviting someone to a church event. In Facebook ads for example, you have so few characters to work with that you can't give a complete Gospel presentation. Instead, your best bet is to invite them to your church where you can present the Gospel in an environment conducive to them responding. 2. Think Active not Passive – At … Read More
