Managing your Time

I’ve had a lot of conversations lately about time management. Everyone always seems to feel like there’s not enough time in a day to complete all the necessary tasks. We always want to do more and very rarely just stop.  I thrive on being busy and productive.  I am pretty much constantly on the go. [...]

Consider All Your Possibilities

Have you ever considered marketing your church through high quality television spots?  Most churches mistakenly assume that it is a venture that is not even financially possible for them.  Often they hear the high cost of 30 second spots at the time of the Superbowl, and jump to the conclusion that it is simply beyond [...]

The World is Shrinking!

Okay, well maybe not. But, it sure seems that way as technology connects us to strangers across the world through the Internet and social networks.

Church Utilizing Facebook to Reach People

I recently spoke with Pastor David Hawkins at Living the Word Church. He let me know that they have more “non-members” as fans of the church’s page on Facebook, than they do actual members who are fans. Through the use of Facebook as an aid to their online ministry presence, they have been able to [...]

Reflecting on the Go Live Process

Toward the end of last month, we saw http://www.fumc-rr.org go live. My job here at faithHighway is often a bittersweet one, in that while I do get to work with a church in bringing their online ministry goals to fruition, once the site goes live then I must begrudgingly bow out as the church starts [...]
