Eight Easter-Related Church Trends
About this Episode
Podcast Episode #313
Easter is only three weeks away, so today we cover a few trends we are seeing in churches as we lead up to Resurrection Sunday. Also, we talk pants splitting, camels falling, and sets burning.
Some highlights from today's episode include:
* If your worship center is already at +70% capacity on Sundays, you might consider adding a service on Easter.
* Churches should be taking advantage of Facebook advertising for Easter.
* Facebook advertising is the most effective and cost efficient advertising churches have available to them.
* The purpose behind high attendance invite days is to show members that people will come when invited.
* Should you have an Easter sunrise service? It depends.
* Do what is effective for your church; don't just do what other people do.
* Try something special and unique with your Easter guest follow-up.
The eight Easter trends we discuss are:
*
Adding services
*
Adding venues
*
Facebook advertising
*
Special emphasis for inviting
*
Tradition is contextual - Sunrise services, egg hunts, etc.
*
Involvement in community Easter activities
*
Cantatas are still popular for churches with choirs
*
Special follow up emphases.
