DESCRIPTION
Was Jesus a branding expert? Did Paul reposition the church’s brand to attract Gentiles? Does your church have a brand?If you think your brand is just a logo, a tagline, a website, a facebook fan page and some brochures, you’re only looking at some of the clothes your brand is wearing. In his presentation, “Ministry Branding”, Charles revealed a way to see what’s at the intersection of what the Bible says about the church’s mission and the skills, desires and personality of your congregation. The real power of branding comes from standing for biblical truths in a way that is relevant to your congregation, your community and the world.TRANSCRIPT

A focused message resonates with
Clarity
The proper first response to a changing world is not to ask, “How should we change?”Rather ask,
“What do we stand for and Why do we exist?”
This should never change.
Then change everything else.
