CFCC at Foursquare Convention

Our very own Brad Abare just added to his already packed speaking schedule with an appearance at the "Harnessing Technology for Ministry" forum at the upcoming Foursquare Convention in Washington, D.C., from May 29-June 1.

The tech forum will cover existing and emerging technologies for use in the church. Potential ministry applications for blogs, social-networking, wikis, instant-messaging, podcasting, video streaming and digitial libraries will be covered, as well as whatever new technology breaks out, soars and fizzles before the forum.

Everett Herald on Mega-Churches

The Herald of Everett, Wash. covered mega-churches in their April 14, 2006 story, "Megachurches make grand plans for Easter." The story covers church outreach plans and includes a mention of little ol' us:

There's no shame in selling what people are looking for, said Brad Abare, president of the Los Angeles-based Center for Church Communication.

"There's not a single day when McDonald's doesn't sell a hamburger, the thing they're supposed to be doing," he said. "But there are many days when churches don't see members or new visitors come into their church or people come to Jesus.

"The premise of churches is we have the greatest story ever told. Churches realize they have to learn how to tell the story better."
