A recent study shows that church attendance in America have been steadily declining through the years. There are many different factors that contribute to the declining church participation. One reason is that most Americans believe that faith no longer holds the same kind of influence it once did in today’s society. Another reason is members no longer feel special and connected with their community.

So how can you continue to make your church grow?

Ever since the old times religious communities have always relied on word of mouth to encourage visitors. This still remains true, but how can you speed up the word-of-mouth process? Nowadays, to effectively communicate with society you need to go where they go. Meaning not having an online presence is no longer an option. Religious community need to adapt and be flexible. Aside from an online presence the use of direct marketing materials is now a common strategy.
