Support

We want to help the church matter, but we can't do it alone. We need your help.

Here are three simple ways you can support the Center for Church Communication:

1. Get Involved

Join the conversation. Sign up for an e-mail newsletter, post comments on our blog or in our Flickr group, tell your friends, or send us an e-mail. Involvement begins with a conversation.

A second way to be involved is to contribute. You can be a guest blogger on Church Marketing Sucks or post your own church marketing materials in the Church Marketing Lab. We don't know everything, so step up and offer what you know.

A third way to get involved is to volunteer. Check out our list of volunteer needs.

2. Donate

Being a non-profit implies a certain lack of cash. The Center for Church Comunication has never been and never will be about getting rich, but we do still have bills to pay. Your donations help us help the church. So we appreciate any donations, no matter the size.

Online Donations Through PayPal:
(credit cards, bank account transfers, etc.)

(Note: PayPal does take 2.9% of each transaction plus 30 cents. We mention this only because the transaction fees become a very high percentage of the total donation for small dollar amounts—for a $1 donation 33 cents goes to PayPal and we actually end up receiving only 66 cents. So as much as we want to encourage micro-donations, PayPal may not be the best vehicle.)

Old School Donations:

CFCC
P.O. Box 26747

Checks can be made out to: Center for Church Communication.

All donations are tax deductible.

Amazon.com
Another way to support CFCC without costing you a dime is by clicking on our links before making purchases through Amazon.com. We get a small referral fee when you click on our links and then buy anything at Amazon.com. Marketing books, Bibles, CDs—even iPods. It's a small cut, but every little bit counts. Check out our reviews category on Church Marketing Sucks for loads of church marketing-related books. OK, so it may cost more than a dime. But it's money you were going to spend anyway, and it doesn't cost extra to help us out.

Squidoo.com
You can also donate some or all of your Squidoo.com earnings to CFCC. When you're editing your lens, look for payment options towards the bottom of the right sidebar. Choose to donate to a specific charity and look for "Center for Church Communication" in the drop down. Learn more about Squidoo.

3. Pray

While we're all about doing what works and utilizing the latest marketing techniques and fancy new technologies, we're also keenly aware that nothing happens without God. The church will never matter on its own.

So more than involvement, more than cash—this movement needs prayer:

• Pray that churches everywhere will communicate the truth of the Gospel clearly, creatively and effectively.
• Pray that designers, writers, programmers, pastors and church administrators will see the importance of communication.
• Pray for more than butts in pews—pray for changed lives.
• And if you can, pray for us. Pray that we'll have the ability to effectively serve churches and church communicators.
