Effectively Engaging Churches
The impact of your ministry is largely dependent upon your capacity to form strategic partnerships with churches.
You believe the Church is the answer to the problem your organization is trying to solve, but you’re struggling to get the ear of a busy pastor, navigate through the complicated structures of various church ministry departments or are just having a hard time helping churches see how they can truly make an impact through the work you are doing.
We get it. It’s hard to cut through the noise of all that’s coming at churches – lines of organizations just like yours that need the same things from churches you do…their attention, their people, their money, their impact. And on top of navigating all that’s coming at them externally they are keenly focused on stewarding well all that’s already going inside their church – shepherding people through hard times, providing opportunities for children to be discipled, facilitating opportunities for people to live in community with one another, planning weekend services. Needless to say, churches are busy doing good Kingdom work.
So, how can your approach to churches navigate through all of that? What steps can you take to ensure your engagement strategy is the most helpful it can be for the church and the most efficient it can be for you?
Effectively Engaging Churches shares four ways you can begin to shift your approach with churches to lead to healthy and effective partnerships.
