description: Over 90 percent of all Christian churches in the United States have fewer than 200 members. While they vary in shape size ethnicity and denomination they have one thing in the desire to grow. So why is it that some churches fail to grow for years while other congregations in the same community increase exponentially?The problem says church marketing authority Richard Reising is that most churches should not be doing promotion. Instead they should focus on the preparation that will make members eager to invite others. In ChurchMarketing 101  he demystifies basic marketing principles for the church evaluates them against biblical principles and illustrates how simple changes can remove roadblocks that hinder members from reaching out. Reising's simple yet insightful approach will be invaluable to pastors and ministry leaders from churches of all denominations and styles.
