The 5 pillars of building a hybrid church 

In 2020 the way we do church changed forever. Although many churches continue to re-open their doors for face-to-face services, the online church is here to stay. What does that mean for the way you grow your church moving forward?

GoodtoGive will answer that question for you in this seminar. 

We know it takes faith to do God’s work, but it also requires practical wisdom, and that’s what you’ll receive in this seminar. 

Find out what the 5 pillars are for building a hybrid church and how you can use them to grow your church both online and in-person. 

This seminar takes place on Wednesday 13th of October at 3 pm at Daniels Bar. 

We hope to see you there book your ticket now!

Learn how to significantly increase your charity’s income with Gift Aid

Gift Aid allows you to claim an extra 25p for every £1 that is donated to your charity, this makes a huge difference to your charity’s income. However, most charities aren’t taking full advantage of this tax relief, resulting in financial deficits that aren’t necessary.

This failure to maximise Gift Aid affects small, low-income charities in particular who either don’t claim at all, fail to claim consistently and/or fail to claim retrospectively.

In our next webinar, we’ll explain why small charities are missing out and what you can do about it.

We’ll be covering:

• How to maximise the opportunity that Gift Aid offers
• How to increase donations through online giving
• How to manage the Gift Aid claiming process
• How GoodtoGive can significantly increase your charity’s income

This is an online webinar hosted by Premier Christian Media. Our GoodtoGive Head of Marketing will be delivering a presentation as part of the webinar on how to market your church, on the 26th of August at 3:30pm.

The Covid-19 pandemic has revealed a deep spiritual hunger in our nation. As we come out of lockdown, how do we reach these people and connect them with our churches? Better still, how do we engage with all of those people who have been engaging with online worship over the course of pandemic. How do we turn anonymous views into committed members of our communities? Senior Christian marketers will give us key pointers to effective and dynamic marketing for the hybrid church to thrive. Join the webinar and learn how to market church even more effectively.

The doors to our churches have re-opened but it most definitely isn’t church as usual and most likely won’t be for a while. Social distancing measures will be in place for some time. But what does this look like?

What processes and procedures do churches need to have in place and how best can churches communicate with their communities during this time of transition?

We’ll be answering these questions and more during this panel discussion.

This is an online event that is completely free to attend!

Join us for a live and interactive discussion.
