I was talking with a friend the other day about marketing, the church and church planting movements.  We were having a discussion on whether or not traditional, more established churches are more resistent to marketing than are new church launches, church plants or less traditional models.  While the more traditional church may often have more resources, it is often the limber, flexible and committee-less new church plant that is more likely to embrace the idea of marketing.  What do you think?  CMS also offers a good helping of articles on word of mouth marketing for churches.

Speaking of church plants, those who have done it (or are currently in one of life’s most stressful yet exhilrating jobs), your peer Shaun King offers up 10 church planting mistakes.  Shaun’s authentic examination of his experience is refreshing and revealing.
