Willingness to visit a UMC grows amidst continued awareness efforts
Whether seen in a newspaper, on television or on a computer screen, denominational ads build awareness of the church and extend a message of welcome to seekers — individuals who are not committed to a church yet are searching for deeper meaning in life.
Advertising has been part of The United Methodist Church’s marketing plan for almost 20 years. Whether seen in a newspaper, on television or on a computer screen, denominational ads build awareness of the church and extend a message of welcome to seekers — individuals who are not committed to a church yet are searching for deeper meaning in life.
United Methodist Communications is dedicated to creating innovative, research-based advertising campaigns that reach out to a world in need of hope. Advertisements invite people to visit RethinkChurch.org so that they can explore their spirituality, learn more about the denomination, sign up for a seeker-focused e-newsletter and search for a nearby United Methodist congregation to connect with a community of faith.
Local churches can take advantage of the heightened familiarity brought about by the advertising campaign in several ways:
If you feel discouraged, just know that you’re not alone. Through the power of God’s love, we can get through those difficult moments together. And move forward with renewed strength and love. The people of the United Methodist Church believe that through God's love, we can come together and find peace, faith and joy.
