Casual Articles - Church Marketing: Should there be Separation of Church and Business?
Millioniaire marketers have a money maker system they rely on. When they put their system into action, they make money with both hands tied behind their back.This system is so simple, it’s hard to believe it works. And yet, when it is used, it saves time, brings in cash and makes you a success. Plus that
Now, some would argue that this kind of blatant promotion is inappropriate and should not be embraced by the church under any circumstances. Others would say it’s a great idea to simultaneously offer benefits and incentives to congregants, and generate revenue for the ministry.

Sometimes, it's just great to be in business! I step back for a moment, the floor is swept clean, a cool breeze runs through the studio, the finishing touches have been made on a big project which is ready to deliver and the bills have been paid for the month!It's a rare occasion, but there really are time
With the tremendous growth of the church, however, comes an even greater responsibility to preserve the integrity of the gospel message. I say this because many corporations and businesses are tapping into the power and influence of the church; but we must be careful not to succumb to the allure of commercialism, at the expense of the message. Product placement and promotion is first on the agenda of capitalistic conglomerates; but “Christ and him crucified” must remain the primary focus of every ministry.
Please don’t misunderstand me. I see nothing wrong with conducting business ethically. After all, it takes a steady stream of revenue to keep any ministry solvent. The problem occurs when turning a profit takes precedence over the conversion of souls to the Kingdom of God.
A controversy has recently surfaced, regarding whether or not ministries should link up with major corporations, to promote products and services to their congregations. Well, a short while ago, I attended a large ministry conference. During the announcements, a pre-formatted commercial from a well-known, major corporation was played on the large screens. The congregants were encouraged to shop online with a personal identification number that would guarantee special savings and discounts. Plus, the church would receive a percentage of the profits each time a purchase was made.

There is an old saying that goes like this. "You get what you pay for." In the wholesale business this is way too true.

What do I say? Well, it’s really not my place to judge; however, I will say this. When making decisions about what’s best for public relations and ministry marketing efforts; the motive, the mission, the method and the message, must all work together to bring glory to God. When a leader approaches ministry this way, his paths will remain straight, and God’s provision will always be with him.
