He Gets Us
By now, you may have seen an ad or heard about He Gets Us, the national ad campaign that’s changing perceptions of Jesus.
If you’re asking yourself:
- What’s it all about?
- Is it a good thing?
- Or, how can I get involved?
…I’m here to tell you I’ve never seen a campaign like this.
He Gets Us is backed by months of in-depth research and was created to help people meet and relate to the “real Jesus” of the Bible. A budget in excess of one hundred million dollars makes He Gets Us the largest faith campaign in history.
What really makes this different is how people who respond to the campaign are connected with local churches. And with early success like 31 million views on YouTube, 600,000 social media interactions, PLUS nearly half a million people visiting the He Gets Us website, you’re going to want to get your church plugged in ASAP.
When you sign up to become a church partner at HeGetsUsPartners.com/carey, you’ll get:
- Coaching and certifications that empower leaders and volunteers
- Bible studies and conversation guides
- And…info on how YOUR CHURCH can connect with the people who respond
There are literally millions of people who are looking for answers like the ones your church has to offer. Go to HeGetsUsPartners.com/carey and get your church involved today.
