350,000 pastors in the US alone need a 2nd job just to pay their bills each month.
By 2025 we aim to be the leading funding source for bi-vocational pastors.

How do you know if your churches website sucks or not?
Have you changed it in the last 5 years?
Is it getting results?
Here's a good guide to check if your church website is up to par in 2024...

This weekend the power went out in our church, we just unplugged the guitars, moved closer to the stage and sang in the dark.
I don’t think church needs to be zero fun, but we do need to remember we are there for Jesus and not the band.
@paulwasher Yessir! My friends and I call ourselves “fruit checkers.”
Anyone can say they are saved, but if there’s no 🍉 🍎 🍌, then someone’s lying somewhere.
@adam__morgan__ You have to understand how email deliverability works to understand.
It doesn’t just go from your CRM to their inbox. There is a whole system of checks and balances.
Hard to explain in a short comment box. Look up “email sender reputation score.”
#2 “Grey Mail” will kill your ability to reach active readers.
These are your readers who don’t open or read, but won’t unsubscribe because they are “being polite.”
Inactives will tank your deliverability to actives.
Purge your email list every 6mos of inactives.
Dave is the man
Only thing I would add is a free online class to attract your local community into an email list.
Deliver the free class with automated emails and invite them to come to your church in the last email. 👌👌
Some don’t have TikTok…
Some don’t have Twitter…
EVERYONE has email!
With automated emails you can do the work once and reap the harvests for years.
👍 onboarding volunteers
👍 teaching new members
👍 attracting first time visitors
DM for a free case study.
@adam__morgan__ It’s my own term but the process is the ISP’s (Internet service providers) see that your email is legitimate and getting good engagement so they allow it to spread deeper.
@adam__morgan__ We have a segment labeled “actives” and we send to them first by using the segment selection feature.
Then we copy the email and send to all subscribers excluding the actives 2hrs later.
@adam__morgan__ Hard to answer in a comment, but the short of it is…
Ultimately if they aren’t clicking then they aren’t truly engaged, hitting your goals, and hurting your deliverability.
If no clicks in 30 days, they get labeled inactive. No clicks in 90 days, they get deleted.
