Behold the naked pragmatism that is Rick Warren: churchplants.com/articles/14774-dont-ask-much-will-cost-reaching-community-rick-warren.htmlOften when finances get tight in a church the first thing cut is the evangelism and advertising budget. That is the last thing you should cut. It is the source of new health and life for your church.
Warren even says he used credit cards to pay for marketing when he started Saddleback. Yes my friends, if your church is financially small, you should keep marketing even if you must go in debt. Young pastors are soaking in this advice as gospel truth. Personally, I do not think you need to market the church, just be a shining light, be a witness, and that itself will draw people. That is how they did it in the first church. |

I see it as a ministry, and not a business. |

How do you see the church? If it is a business, Warren makes sense. If it is a ministry, he does not.
