Introducing the Church Marketing Bootcamp

Our Church Marketing Bootcamp is a free resource that will put you on the fast track toward church growth.  How?  By walking you through the top mindset shifts and tools required to communicate well with those who are far from God.  You can get free and immediate access here.

If you’re wondering how we could possibly know what your church needs in order to grow, here’s a little background.  Before Church Marketing University launched, we took a survey of over 2,000 churches.  If you’ve seen our church marketing breakthrough series, then you know we used that data to identify specific indicators that set growing churches apart.  In the years since, we’ve walked alongside over 1,000 churches, hearing their stories and what’s made a difference for them as they reach their communities.

We’d love to be able to help your church, too!  That’s why we created the Church Marketing Bootcamp.  Like you, simply learning about growing churches isn’t interesting to us if it stops there.  Many of us have enough knowledge about church growth and communications- what we need are specific action steps!

Specific action steps are exactly what you’ll find in our free Bootcamp.  Inside, you’ll discover proven strategies for building awareness of your church & reaching the lost.  If you have questions about marketing your church, this is the place to start!

If you’re ready to get started, you can get free and immediate access to the Bootcamp here.

Study at Your Own Pace

The Church Marketing Bootcamp is designed to last five weeks.  However, because the coaching sessions are on-demand, you can work through them at your own pace.  That means that if you want to breeze through them in a couple of weeks, you could!  If you’d rather take your time and spend 8 or 10 weeks implementing the training, that works too.  Whenever you have the time, our Bootcamp will help guide you toward your next step.

Small Changes, Big Impact

One of my favorite parts of the Bootcamp is that each step is easy to implement.  In fact, as you watch the episodes you might think, “Will this REALLY make a difference?”  However, that simplicity is what makes this course so powerful.  Lasting change in organizations isn’t usually the product of heroic efforts.  Rather, it’s incremental adjustments over time that lead to sustainable improvement.

Lasting change in organizations isn’t usually the product of heroic efforts.  Rather, it’s incremental adjustments over time that lead to sustainable improvement.

Even though we’d all love an overnight fix, we all know that isn’t how life usually works.  At first, most churches need to improve a few key areas before they will start seeing more visitors- and that’s a process that takes consistent time and effort.

So, as you’re working through the Church Marketing Bootcamp, don’t despise your small beginnings.   If you take each episode and implement it thoroughly, those changes will lead to real-life impact in the lives of people in your community.

In order to reach more people every single week, you have to start somewhere.  Why not start with proven techniques for church growth?
