A Five-Minute Sermon on
Church Advertising
D ID you ever think of the church a a a business proposition? Why should
a church always be considered a subject for charity? How often have
you heard men say: “I don’t go to church very often, but when I do
go they are always begging for money. That’s the reason I don’t go oftener.”
It's a narrow point of view, of course, for a church needs money to run
It, just the same as a business. But why shouldn’t a church be run as a
business and he Independent and not Dependent? It can be, but business
methods must be adopted.
All successful businesses advertise. The greatest competitor of the church
on Sundays—the movies—advertises liberally. You have attractions in your
church. You have a stoiy to tell. You have a minister who can preach with
a punch. The “regulars” may know it, but it isn’t the “regulars ’ you want
to reach—it's the “irregulars” and the “neverwuzzers.” That’s where the
church has got to grow. And you have got to go after them the same as the
business house goes after business.
You know that every business man keeps track of his sales every week
and every month and he compares them with a year ago. And if he isn’t run
ning ahead he wants to know why. Do the churches keep track of their
attendance? They know what the subscriptions are, for that’s vital; yet
increased attendance would mean increased subscriptions.
The church should cease to he DEpendent. It should go after business
Ministers who have tried it have been well compensated. Supposing this
advertisement should appear in this paper this week:
FIRST REFORMED CHURCH
This Sunday Evening at 7t46
THE REV. JOHN KNOX ALLEN. D. D«
will preach on <*OUR TOWN"
Froni Seats Free. , Rear Seats, Ten Cents Sack
Don’t you think it would help? Wouldn’t it start some talk about the
church? Wouldn’t the people say, “Well, 1 guess the church people are
waking up?” The cost of the advertisement would be small, but the results
would be big.
Think it over. Why shouldn’t our churches stand on their own feet and.
he run in a businesslike way? Why shouldn't the* people be educated to the
fact that it takes money to run a church, that it is not a charity organization
and that people ARE EXPECTED to contribute to it.
What would this town be without churches? You would not live in it,
for it wouldn’t he a fit place to live in. You need the church. The church
needs you and the church needs advertising.
