Church Leader Toolkit
We all know how challenging it can be to keep growth and momentum in your church.
While every growing church faces obstacles, the ones that thrive in the long run structure key people and initiatives in a sustainable, effective, and impactful way.
To help, I’ve developed a free Church Leader Toolkit—it’s a set of free videos and practical guides that will help you:
- Overcome the #1 barrier to church growth
- Find and keep great leaders—even when you don’t think you have any; and
- Assess your outreach efforts
Drawing from years of experience in church growth, I have distilled my insights into a series of practical steps and reminders that will help you ensure that your church is dynamic, growing, and impactful.
You can access the Church Leader Toolkit completely free at churchleadertoolkit.com.
I’ll send you a copy right away.
Gloo
If you’re like most pastors, your outreach strategy looks nothing as it did a year ago, let alone 10 or 20 years. Things change at the speed of light.
And since they didn’t teach marketing in seminary, you’re going to want to pay attention to this revolutionary program from Gloo called REACH.
In the last year, REACH has connected over 127,000 people with churches across the country. That’s an average of 12 new contacts every month for churches that sign up.
Here’s how it works.
- Gloo partners with recognizable national campaigns for Jesus. You’ve probably seen some:
- He Gets Us
- K-Love
- Churches Care
- And many others
- When people respond to those campaigns and ask to connect with a church, Gloo matches them with a church in their city.
- Then, your church receives connections in a dedicated inbox using Gloo’s suite of FREE texting tools to communicate and build relationships.
It’s easy to use, doesn’t require additional staff, and costs are covered by Kingdom-Minded donors who want you to have access to this one-of-a-kind solution.
The best part?
- With others focused on running expensive and complex campaigns,
- You’re free to focus on what you do best: Building more life-changing relationships.
So, what are you waiting for? Go to get.gloo.us/reach to sign up and connect with more people from your community who need you.
