Ep. 001: Fundamentals of church marketing: Where do you start?

Marketing isn’t a bad word for churches; it’s merely how you tell the story of your church to the local and global community. Chances are, you’re already doing it! Signs, your website, social media and bulletins are all aspects of church marketing. You’re not just selling a product. You’re promoting the fountain of living water — real truth, mercy and forgiveness, freely given. It’s our God-given duty to spread the news about this, with his authority, to the ends of the earth.
