   At our church we are trying to rent and ourselves, in a way. There are so many things we need to do. Any resource I can get to help us move in the right direction is a blessing.

   I am a 27-year-old youth & young adult & campus pastor in Holland, MI. I am also the web designer and social media “guy” for our ministry. I have been keeping up with your blogs and trying to figure out how to communicate effectively and authentically via web and social. It is not an easy task. I think I need this book to give me insight in communicating more effectively and with better engagement.

   Hi Steve
   Thank you so much for all the information you are sharing. It has already been a huge help to me. We are a very small church that has just been looking at our branding. I have been working on it alone for a little while it a slow go as I’m learning as I go. I have been working on get our aging congregation to understand the importance of our website and social media. Recently a workshop on branding and communication opportunity came up and I’m so happy that I see more interest. This has gotten the interest in branding started So as a small church with a zero budget an opportunity to receive this book would be much appreciated.

    Ahhh very cool, we were up through your way in the blue mountains a few years back. Here is a post I wrote on mobile giving a while back if you want some options https://www.stevefogg.com/2016/09/14/why-your-church-needs-mobile-giving/

    Hi Steve. Yes I saw that article. We actually went with Tithe.ly as it links into elvanto. Some don’t link to Australia well.
    Thanks

    I would love to be even more informed on Mark’s insights so I can lead the church staff I work with to focus and overcome their desire to be all things to all people.

    We are small church with an older demographic, in what has grown to be a community of young family’s. My wife and I joined about four years ago, I soon took on the roll of children’s coordinator and we are seeing some new families becoming part of the church community. We are planning to really become a church for our local community, as we are tending to have people from outside our community driving in for services.

    Would love to brand better through our community interactions and Facebook communications.
