Make STRATEGIC use of Father’s Day to grow your church–by targeting YOUNGER Dads

Reach out to young dads at Father's Day
Fathers Day is a great time to reach out to young dads at your church.

Many churches today have an ideal church member they want to recruit—the younger male, the dad with a young family, and Father's Day is a great time to do a focused outreach to them.

Make sure men are visible at your church

Men need to be greeters, the ones who do announcements, are in the children's ministry when kids are dropped off, and other visual actions at the church. This isn't being sexist--men need to see that men are doing things at the church.

Most likely they are involved in all these areas, but you need to make sure they are front and center on this day.

Invite men back for a service project

Many studies show that younger men are part of a generation that believes in volunteering, in giving back. Asking this group to be part of service projects is a great way to involve them with the men of the church. Here are some ideas: [Read more...]

How to pass on sensitive ministry information for domestic abuse, drug abuse, and pornography addition help

Church Ministry Business Cards
A tastefully done business card can let people know about ministries that can help them in challenging life situations.

Our world hurts. People hurt each other and they hurt themselves.

The good news of the gospel is there is healing for every hurt available in Jesus and given out by his people, the church.

The challenge is how to connect the hurts and the help.

One of the most effective, but seldom used ways is with church and ministry business cards.

Here is how they can work

  1. On this site is a selection of FREE cards. Below are a few of them, at the end of the article all the ones available to download.
  2. Download the cards and then on the back put the resources available to help that your church has or that are available in your area.
  3. Give out the cards to people in your church to share as needed.
  4. BUT ALSO--what many churches have done is to make up the cards and then place them in restrooms at church, preferably INSIDE the stalls. When you do this, a person can pick up this small card (much better than a big brochure) and privately make use of the information on it. Churches that have done this have told me, "we replace the cards frequently."

Pray for the people who need the resources

You never know who might pick up a card. Perhaps someone traveling, someone visiting your church, perhaps a member living in pain or shame.

But the Lord knows and we can ask he direct people to the resources they need and that they will find healing and help.

Below are pictures of all the cards in this set. These cards and dozens more cards for you to invite people to church and other ministries HERE.

Men's Ministry Business Cards
One of the business cards you can use to launch or advertise your Men's Ministry.

Father's Day is a great time to kick-off or start a Men's Ministry and the following cards may be useful for inspiration if you are just starting or want to try something new.

On the opposite side of the card you can have your meeting times and work or service projects listed. These are business card size and are great for you to make up enough of them to give them to the men of your church to use as invitations to neighbors or the men they work with.

Below are pictures of the cards and below that is a link for a ZIP file that has both ready-to-print PDFs and editable MS Publisher files. CLICK HERE for more about the Templates and to see others available.
