How do churches market themselves?

Churches market themselves by clearly showing who they are and how they serve their community. Common tools include websites, social media, email, text updates, printed materials, and outdoor signs. Many churches also use Google Business Profiles and sometimes online ads to reach people who search for “church near me.” Strong church marketing always pairs with real hospitality and follow‑up. When guests visit, clear next steps—like small groups, classes, or serving teams—help them get connected. Marketing is not about pressure; it is about making it easy for people to discover a place where they can belong and grow.
