Free Course for Pastors
Build a Marketing Plan that Helps Your Church Grow
We know you’re not a marketing guru but want to leverage best practices to reach people in your community. We created this course with Pastors in mind, to give you handles and ideas you can quickly implement in your church.
The Church Marketing Crash Course for Pastors will give you a practical gameplan for growth
Understand Key Marketing Principles
Marketing and ministry might not seem like they go together, but when you understand these key principles and apply them to a ministry setting, you can reach more people for Jesus.
Build a Marketing Plan
Ideas are great, but plans are better. You’ll hear a lot of ideas in this course, but we’ll also give you documents and templates you can use to make a plan.
Reach More People
Ultimately, the church should be about connecting more people to Jesus. Marketing can help you do this. Your church can be more effective connecting with new people and inviting them to follow Jesus and join the community.

Three Ways to Use the Church Marketing Crash Course
1
Personal Development
When you finish the course, you will have a basic understanding of marketing and how these efforts can help you reach more people in your community. The lessons you learn and the work you do will have a long-term impact on how you reach people.
2
Staff Meeting
Many churches take time in existing staff meetings to watch the videos and discuss the exercises. Devoting a part of your meeting to this type of training is a great way to “do” leadership development without adding any additional meetings or workflows.
3
Team Learning Opportunity
Some churches create extra meeting times or “focus weeks” to work through the material at a more rapid pace. This type of project learning might be a good fit for you or your team.
I'm the pastor of a one year old church plant in Nashville. Thank you for what you do. Many of your resources have been helpful to us. We are averaging between 500-600 in attendance per week, so being able to build systems quickly utilizing your tools has been a lifesaver for us on more than one occasion!
