Every church has a brand, whether they’ve planned it
or not. Effective branding of your church requires that
you present your church—its purpose and mission—to
the congregation and the community accurately and
with excellence. This paper discusses the process of
creating an excellent brand, maintaining the integrity
of the brand and handling crises well so that your
church may present itself well to a lost world.
A growing number of church leaders today are taking
bold steps to help their people become truly
generous. These leaders are gripped with a sense of
accountability before God for the enormous wealth
we enjoy in our culture. This paper presents a number
of passionate and theologically consistent churches as
case studies in generosity.
