It doesn’t really matter what you studied in school or when you graduated; when it comes to digital marketing, we’re all exploring a whole new realm of possibilities for local churches that are relatively new and constantly evolving. Staying on top of all the trends and all the platforms requires work and continuing education, which is just what we have planned for you this month!
If your church has a website, an email newsletter, and a presence on social media, we have tools and tips here that will be very beneficial.
Some churches may still feel a little icky using “business” terms like marketing when discussing church strategy (Ick. “Strategy?!”). Remember: one of our core priorities as a local church is to reach out to people who have yet to discover the life and love of Jesus. Websites and emails are simply tools at our disposal, and we’d be wise to use them to their full potential for the good of the kingdom!
