6. Limit yourself to one all-church announcement in every service.

8. Add pictures or, better yet, video clips to your website to give people a taste of your teaching, worship and children’s ministry.

9. Provide identical children’s ministry experiences at every weekend service so families aren’t limited in the services they can attend.

10. Stop something.

11. Create opportunities for students to serve and lead rather than just consuming experiences.

12. Plan to spend less than you anticipate receiving from offerings.

13. Create ways for people to share nuggets of teaching and worship content through social media.

15. Start using online solutions (like Asana) to keep the team on the same page.

17. Share individual stories of life change when you baptize someone in your services.

18. Develop an annual ministry calendar and promotions plan to limit competing messages.
