There is a greater need for churches across our country now more than ever! The statistics on the unchurched in the US are grim. Did you know that there are 156 million unchurched in the US? That’s not all, the unchurched are more resistant to the idea of church today than they were 20 years ago.

How can your church be relevant to this generation?

Here are five ways in which church. in a box® can help your church be more effective, efficient and awesome:

 

1. Seeing location as strategic:

Are traditional methods of reaching out to people really working? Here’s something to think about: Only 14% of the unchurched would pay heed to a billboard advertisement for a church in their community!

In other words, traditional methods of drawing people to church just won’t do! Rather, the church needs to go where these people are – gyms, schools, movie theaters and community centers.

Yes, it’s possible to have church at a “non-churchy,” casual location. In fact, a lot of churches are realizing how effective “going to the people” really is.

All you need is a heart for the city and a reliable partner to help you facilitate setting up. Church. in a box has successfully partnered with several congregations and might be a great choice for you too!

 

2. Change the formula:

So many churches struggle with limited resources and large bills to pay! Did you know that buildings comprise the second largest expense for churches? In fact, construction costs coupled with maintenance, cleaning, electricity etc., can eat up between 30-40% of a church’s budget!

Let’s not forget church equipment. Sound desk, projector, monitors – the list can go on! Church equipment costs a lot, and tends to need upgrades faster than a growing church can afford.

Outfitters like Church. in a box gives you exactly what your church needs to set up in any venue. And, the best part? It’s all at a very reasonable rate.

In fact, as an expert in church systems and operations, Church. in a box is well-equipped to handle churches of all sizes. So, as your church grows, you will always find a box that fits your size.

 

3. Think about the people, not the stuff:

Preparing for each church service can be a battleground! There is equipment to be set up, sound and lights to be tested, coffee supplies to be checked and so much more! In the midst of all the chaos, it is easy to miss what’s most important – the people.

Is it possible to forget about the stuff, and focus on the people? Turns out that with church. in a box by your side, it actually is!

With time-proven packages that make setting up and taking down a breeze, church. in a box allows you to focus on the people. So focus on your people and let church. in a box take care of the rest.

 

4. Let the children come:

“Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.” – Proverbs 22:6

We all know how key it is to have a healthy and safe environment for kids at church. Having a separate space for kids also gives parents the much-needed room to drink from the well.

While kids’ church is one of the most important elements of any church, it can often be one that is most challenging or neglected.

Well, here’s the good news – it doesn’t have to be! Each church. in a box package has all the supplies, toys and accessories needed to set up a creative and fun environment for children.

 

5. Be flexible:

You church needs to be flexible if it wants to adapt to a constantly changing culture. With all your church equipment in a box, you can literally be a church on the go! Your church can be wherever there is a need.

In fact, flexibility can be a huge advantage for any growing church. Launching in a portable venue allows your church to upsize and downsize according to its needs.

So, why let the the limitations of a permanent building dictate the vision of your church? Go portable!

You don’t need a permanent building or expensive equipment to take the Gospel to your city. You need a burden for the lost, a heart to serve and your church gear in a box!
