When you are starting something from nothing, you pinch pennies and search for the absolute best value for your buck.
The aim is for your newly planted church to take root and bear fruit.
We're planting a church right now. This isn't my first rodeo - I planted a church in Ohio seven years ago and have jumped through the hoops before.
Over time, I've discovered where to get stuff online and just recently figured out how to create a free app for our church plant. For what its worth, here's some free tips.
Where We Get Stuff
- Group Imaging - We order all our signage from these guys. They do great work on-time.
- Terminus Tees - Best deal for t-shirts and fun to work with.
- Typepad - I know you can blog for free at Wordpress, but I don't have time to learn the logistical code crud. I've stuck with Typepad since 2005 and love the ease of creating and publishing posts minus the hassle.
- OvernightPrints - They do good work fast. Prime example: I ordered 15,000 postcards on a Friday. They arrived in-hand the following Wednesday. Unbelievable.
- Clover - Our church website is through Clover. They have tons of beautiful designs to choose from, they're all super easy to update and Clover is fast, fast, fast with set-up.
There's also a way for church planters to get a free App for their church plant.
Yes, free.
No pop-ads, no hidden fees, no mediocrity.
I'll share how tomorrow.
