Advertise Your Next Event: Local Pastors
Rallying your local group of pastors can be an effective advertising tool for your next event. Not only can they help you get info to more people, but they can provide support and encouragement for you as you plan the event. For an event that would appeal to other churches (like a concert or famous speaker), the pastors can inform their congregations, allowing all Christians from your community to come. If the event is more evangelistic in nature, then the pastors can help by giving suggestions and prayers for your event.
In our community, there are two gatherings for local Senior and Youth pastors. The local pastors in our town meet monthly to plan outreach events and to plan the ecumenical Easter Sunrise service on the Boardwalk. Youth pastors from around the region (2 counties) have a monthly breakfast meeting at the local Friendly’s. At both gatherings, pastors celebrate in ministry successes, pray through difficult situations, and encourage each other in order to build up His Kingdom.
So next time you are planning a major event, be sure to reach out to the local pastors. Their prayers and encouragement can be highly effective.
