It’s time for churches and other ministries to start using simple but effective internet marketing tools to advance the cause of Jesus Christ.

I understand how difficult and frustrating it can be to try to find time to develop and advance a ministry when there are so many daily and weekly tasks clamoring for your attention. I’ve been there. So let me share my knowledge of internet marketing, suggest some possible applications, and free you up to apply what makes sense in your ministry context.

Most churches now have websites. Some of them look okay and a few are actually quite functional. But the vast majority of churches are only scratching the surface of what they can do online.

It’s time to change that.

And the good news is that it is both easy and inexpensive to harness online technology for your ministry.

My name is Daren Wride. I’ve been a pastor for more than 20 of the past 26 years. In the few years I stepped away from full time ministry, I was a professional speaker with a focus on teamwork. I also built an internet marketing company through which I marketed myself and other speakers, and eventually small business clients in both Canada and the United States.

Over the years I’ve become increasingly passionate about bringing what are actually very basic internet marketing practices in the online business world to the Church.

The first thing you need to do if you want to learn and develop the online side of your ministry is to download the free document “The 10 Commandments of Church Marketing.” It will open your eyes and you will get an email series that helps you understand even further what is possible. Simply use the form to the right.

While you are waiting for the first email, which should come in a few minutes, feel free to poke around the site a little more.
