Yes, in the title, I said the church. I debated sharing this case study because I was afraid people might not read it because it says church. But then I though, some just might read it because it does say church. The focus in this post, however, is not the “church.” This love is admittedly, from the perspective of the Church, but don’t we always get to the question in social marketing of – who decides? A Lesson from the Church on Social Marketing.

Many of you know, I've pastored a church for years. In this post, Dean shares why your church should move into mobile giving. For over 30 years, he's been involved in ministry and building businesses that support the work of the Church. He’s helped plant over 50 churches and raised millions of dollars to spread the Gospel, equip leaders, and change lives. When he’s not helping churches grow their giving with Tithe.ly But for some reason, the Church lags behind.

In my ongoing effort to identify and root out faux cause marketing I came across this ad in the Alden Keene Cause Marketing Database from Church & Dwight , makers of Arm & Hammer baking soda products, including, in this case, Feline Pine kitty litter. Had Church & Dwight turned any of the photos of Che Guevara and Fidel Castro into cat versions of the famous revolutionaries, I could laugh at that, too.

I’m cheating on my church. What’s a church or nonprofit to do? After lenghthy conversations with my husband and long-suffering friends, we left the house on Sunday at 9:45 and drove in a different direction to arrive at. Well, if I told you the location, it wouldn’t be cheating. Infidelity is tough. I feel sad, sorry, and sneaky – like betrayer and betrayed.

I've been writing about my church lately. I also talk about my church because I think nonprofits can learn from these interesting and complex places. It seems to me that what some churches get right (I'm sure this is true of mosques and temples too), and what many nonprofits get wrong, is understanding that the community rules. For example, my church wouldn't work if it weren't for the volunteer labor. An eleven member Vestry governs the church.

Target businesses that advertise in your church bulletin or whose owners you know directly. Church support. Talk to your church leaders and ask them to contribute financially. Churches may have amounts set aside in their budgets for just this purpose. Host a bake sale after church, noting that all funds will go to your mission trip. Get your church’s permission to host a car wash fundraiser after Sunday services to help fund your mission trip.

Then ask the choir to leave the church and go do personal performances wherever they go. Faithful reader and commenter Luke Renner had a great new year post I’d like to share. I really agree with it, and the message is right. I’d sum it up this way: preach to the choir (the people who care about what you do in some way OR have some personal connection to a person who does care). Don’t try to convert the people who will never ever care. It will never ever work.

Yoo talks about a time when he was in seminary and worked at the Korean United Methodist Church of Greater Washington. In his post, Yoo shares a story with us about a small signficant moment that I think is significant still today and outside the walls of the church. On this particular day, Yoo was helping out with the church’s youth ministry where the youth would go out to the parks of DC and hand out sandwiches to the less fortunate.

Ok, so first and foremost, in defense of the Catholic Church, I should point out that this is an isolated incident of a particular Scottish Bishop (albeit highly prominent). That being said, comments from senior officials like this definitely don’t help the Church’s overall goal to be more “in-tune&# with the times. From time to time my father sends me quick scans of interesting newspaper columns and/or stories in case I miss them myself.
