    Should I Have A Launch Team Covenant?

    In this episode of Church Planters Ask, Danny Parmelee and Chris Highfill tackle the question, "Should we have a launch team covenant?" They explore what a launch team covenant is and whether it's necessary when forming a church launch team. While Danny shares his personal reservations about formal covenants, citing that they can create barriers, especially with new members or non-believers, Chris offers a more flexible approach. They discuss setting expectations for team members, such as attending events, contributing financially, and inviting others—without making it too formal or legalistic. Both agree that culture is key, and launch teams should have clear but open-handed guidelines, with opportunities for members to reevaluate their involvement after a set period. The episode encourages planters to focus on creating healthy, open relationships within the team, rather than relying on rigid structures like covenants.

    Do Mailers Still Work?

    In the latest episode of "Church Planters Ask," host Danny Parmelee dives into the question: "Do mailers still work for churches?" To explore this topic, Danny is joined by Tim Speweik from Outreach, a veteran in church marketing with over 27 years of experience and involvement in more than 1,200 church plants.

He challenges the notion that mailers are outdated, arguing that when done right, they can be an incredibly effective tool for reaching people. The episode covers the importance of creativity in crafting mailers, the strategic use of targeting and timing, and the benefits of integrating mailers with other forms of marketing. Listeners will also learn about the practical aspects of implementing a mailer campaign, including cost considerations, the significance of nonprofit postal rates, and the pros and cons of doing mailers yourself versus using a service like Outreach. Tim emphasizes that while mailers aren't a silver bullet, they are a valuable part of a larger marketing strategy that includes both physical and digital touchpoints. Whether you're skeptical about the effectiveness of mailers or looking for ways to enhance your church's outreach efforts, this episode offers a wealth of practical advice and actionable strategies.

    What Is the Best Location for a New Church Plant?

    In this episode of Church Planters Ask, hosts Danny Parmelee and Chris Highfill dive into the critical topic of selecting the right meeting location for your church plant. This discussion is packed with practical advice and personal experiences that will be invaluable to any church planter navigating the challenges of finding the perfect venue. Chris kicks off the conversation by sharing his journey of starting Grace River Church. He highlights the pros and cons of various locations, from elementary schools to YMCAs. He recounts how his church began in an elementary school gym, which had its limitations, including small parking areas and a lack of proper auditorium space. Despite these challenges, the built-in community relationships with families whose children attended the school were a significant advantage. The hosts then explore the benefits and drawbacks of other common locations, such as middle schools, high schools, and YMCAs. They discuss how moving to a YMCA provided Grace River Church with better visibility and a more centralized location, contributing to the church’s growth. However, Chris also shares the less glamorous side of using such facilities, like the less-than-pleasant smells and the challenges of setting up and tearing down every week. Danny and Chris emphasize the importance of being flexible and patient when choosing a location. They caution against signing long-term leases too quickly, as it’s essential to remain adaptable to growth and changes within the community. The conversation also touches on the potential pitfalls of renting from other churches or storefronts, including issues with space customization and possible conflicts with the hosting church. The episode wraps up with practical advice for church planters, encouraging them to seek out various location options and consider both the logistical and spiritual implications of each. Danny and Chris also highlight the value of good signage and community visibility, offering a shoutout to their sponsor, outreach.com, which provides valuable resources to help church plants with their marketing and branding needs. This episode is a must-listen for church planters looking to make informed decisions about their meeting locations. With real-life stories, expert insights, and a touch of humor, Danny and Chris provide a comprehensive guide to navigating one of the most critical aspects of launching a new church. Whether you’re just starting or considering a move, this episode offers the wisdom you need to make the right choice.
