New Lifetogether Publishing Partnerships

New Lifetogether Publishing Partnerships

At Lifetogether, we are always exploring new ways to partner with local churches to help them leverage the power of community to reach their community for Christ. Over the years, we have produced professionally published video curriculum for hundreds of the largest and the fastest growing churches in America. In many of those cases, these churches may already have extensive production and creative services at their disposal. Understandably, many of our partnering churches have a deep desire to connect their interior congregation by producing professional video-based curriculum and churchwide alignment campaigns, but sometimes budget or staffing interfere with making this vision happen.

As a result, we are introducing TWO new publishing partnerships that share the cost for both staffing and securing necessary equipment for such a production, without losing any quality and expertise. Essentially, we are seeking to scale both the equipment and the team necessary to produce a series for more moderate size churches that have limited budget and resources. We will work with you and your team to help produce a project, with our expert direction and proven strategies, to develop far-reaching and community-oriented curriculum just for your congregation.

An additional bonus feature to these programs is that they can serve as the perfect first step, or even next step, in developing more and better curriculum in your church. They’re designed in a train-the-trainer format, which makes for a more sustainable and discipleship-centric timeline.

LIFETOGETHER PUBLISHING PROGRAM

Here’s Brett introducing the new Lifetogether Publishing Program!

We are partnering with a handful of local churches this next season, offering a special price and package for churches to produce, for the first time or for the next time, their own curriculum production. This will be done as an in-house, forty day-like curriculum that is based off of your Senior pastor’s existing teaching ministry. These curriculum are proven to be and bring the “Wow factor” to any congregation. Our past partnerships with some of the largest and fastest growing churches in the country have shown exponential results, getting north of 75% of a congregation connected through these campaigns. We understand that the cost and resources required can be exorbitant at times, and not every church feels that they are at the right stage to pursue this type of production and curriculum.

This is why we are introducing the Lifetogether Publishing Program, where we bring in our Lifetogether team of experts writers, producers, designers, etc to partner with your team in producing your own curriculum. By utilizing our equipment and staffing, the burden of cost and resources does not fall entirely on your ministry. Other great features of this program is that we would help you develop a full color curriculum study guide, promotional clips for the weekend service, strategies on effective staffing models, and coaching on how to produce video curriculum on a weekly basis. Spots are limited as we launch this next phase of the new publishing model, so be sure to contact us today to learn more on how your church can get involved.

 

 

SMALL GROUP PUBLISHING OFFER

Here’s Brett introducing the new Small Group Publishing Offer!

Who doesn’t love going 50/50? Whether the occasion is sharing food, sharing ideas, or sharing places, we always enjoy partnering with others in some way or another.

That’s why, for a limited time, we are rolling out a Small Group Publishing Offer for churches and ministries. This offer is another great, affordable way in which we would partner together, 50/50, to share the cost of producing, publishing, and distributing your curriculum. Instead of having to go to a third-party publisher or purchasing curriculum directly from them, you can have your own!

As you well know, Lifetogether Ministries has partnered with many of the largest and fastest growing churches across the nation. Our team of experts has worked together with diverse ministries in leveraging the life and leadership of a church’s Senior pastor, in order to reach the local community for Christ.

Our team will come alongside churches of any stage or size to produce your first video curriculum at a significantly less cost or even no cost. After production, your congregation can purchase the published materials from us and even make it available to other churches in your network on our platform. We’ll produce them in both physical and online formats for you as well.

There is no time like the present to produce your own in-house video curriculum series, instead of purchasing curriculum from other publishers and authors. Your congregation wants to hear your pastor, over any other pastor, and will respond to your church’s calls to both lead, serve and participate in your custom in-house campaign. Again, spots are limited for when we launch this offer, so contact us below today!

Here are a few samples of how we’ve helped to expand ministries using these publishing models!

These new programs are great for churches looking to jumpstart campaigns this Fall, but also would like to explore new ways to navigate and manage their limited resources. We do have a limited number of openings, so contact us today if you are interested!

Discover our NEW Coaching Programs!

For those of you who learn best in community and have a limited budget, this program is more affordable than our consulting partnerships.

Introducing the Next Innovation in Multisite Ministry–MICROSITES

Introducing the Next Innovation in Multisite Ministry–MICROSITES

The greatest breakthrough in church planting has come with the decentralization of not only the weekend teaching in a small venue like a home, club house, or conference room, but the introduction of a video-driven worship experience that is actually working. This is produced in a small venue setting for a more engaging and intimate church community experience. Here at Lifetogether, we’ve been at the forefront of microsite strategy and development. Take a look here at how we’ve taken church to the community in the past:

This model of utilizing small venue campuses is clearly the wave of the future – smaller than a multisite yet larger than a small group. Here at Lifetogether, we understand that church planting is church planting, but there have been some new innovations that are helping to launch an exponential number of new churches like never before. Microsites are a great addition based off of your weekend service and conversation production.

Our new microsite coaching program is designed for churches who are looking for the next revolution in taking the church to the community: Microsites. Discover how to launch and lead a wave of microsite campuses regionally, nationally, and globally. We’ve included a short trailer for you down below, in which our team of experts answer all of your questions about our new groundbreaking program.

THE WHO

Designed for multisite campus directors, senior pastors, campus pastors, executive pastors, and church leaders tasked with launching multisites.

THE HOW

  • Discover the potential and pathway to starting a small venue microsite campus based off your weekend service and conversation production
  • Produce weekly small group curriculum based on the Microsite Conversation Service production
  • Evaluate the purpose and strategy for producing a conversation service that delivers the content for a microsite campus
  • Evaluate the numerous options available to produce creative mirosite service worship (live, pre-recorded, combination…)
  • Learn how to brand, market, and promote your new “church in the round” experience
  • Learn how to recruit, train, and develop microsite campus leaders
  • Explore business models that can self-fund a microsite campus strategy in your church

and MANY MORE proven and unique features, so flip through our digital catalog below!

Let’s partner together to help your church launch and lead the next wave of microsites regionally, nationally, and even globally. Contact us today!

A Fall Campaign Idea Guaranteed To Transform Your Church

A Fall Campaign Idea Guaranteed To Transform Your Church

Spring, Summer, Fall…is right around the corner!

I realize it’s almost insensitive to bring up the topic of the Fall, especially when Easter is right in front of us, but this idea needs to be shared now in order to prepare for the upcoming season!

What we know at this stage in the game is that most pastors have either a napkin filled with notes about their plans, or in some cases, it’s a part of a three-year master plan that they have already outlined last year.

No matter what side of the scale you are on, this simple idea has the opportunity and upside of transforming, not only your Fall season, but how you will do church in the future. I can guarantee you this, especially after doing this strategy over and over again in some of the largest and fastest growing churches in America. Now, we are rolling this campaign out for churches of all stages and sizes, no matter what your theological persuasion, denominational affiliation, geographic region or ethnic tradition.

The “Pastor Factor”

After producing the “Purpose Driven Life” video series for Rick Warren, we discovered that aligning with his weekend teaching series was a really big idea. As a result, over 30,000 churches have posted a 40-day campaign in their church of one kind or another. The results from these campaigns were exponential and helped to launch a whole new way of doing church.

In the excitement of of this season, we thought that the results were because of the “Rick factor”. However, over the years we have discovered that the greater principle is more the “Pastor Factor” – every congregation would rather hear from their senior pastor than any other best-selling author, third-party publisher, etc.

The Big Idea

That said, we are recommending that you consider producing a church-wide alignment campaign with a video teaching series, coupled with a full-color companion study guide featuring your senior pastor. This type of campaign is sure to connect your entire congregation this Fall.

Best of all, our expertise allows us to work with whatever sermon series that you want to produce. We can help you develop the scripts and the strategies that will turn your visions into a reality.

Not only is this a great potential first step for those churches that have never considered hosting their own campaign, but it’s also a great strategy to take the quality of your existing campaigns to the next level. It’s no surprise that congregations want more video production and professional quality print curriculum that showcase better design, photography, and quality of writing. With our coaching, you’ll be able to reach your congregation and community farther and further than ever before, guaranteed.

We will utilize all the latest and greatest strategies that we are using to connect more of your congregation, mobilize more leaders, multiply disciples who in turn make disciples, and model for you how to produce your own in-house video curriculum and church-wide campaigns for years to come.

There are a lot more nuts and bolts on how this happens between our ministry and yours, but here are a few features to keep in mind. We will partner with your team to either coach or do full-service production for a video curriculum series, including on-location visits, integration of numerous new formats, and new video features and technology, to produce your state of the art series. Our town hall style production, that has become a primary format for churches around the country, is a great example.

Here’s a link to our YouTube page that has a number of samples of some of our recent trailers and projects.

In addition, we recommend producing a full color, professionally published print curriculum that becomes a signature project for your congregation. Everyone will want to participate, simply because it’s something they have never seen before along with being something that they can keep and reference for years to come.

 

Next Steps

As you could imagine, the cost can range from one extreme to the other, based on the size, scope and nature of the project. That’s why, we have developed a series of packages and programs that will suit whatever size budget and timeline you may be considering.

The first step is to contact our Lifetogether team to set up a FREE consultation where we can better assess your needs and make a more unique, customized recommendation on your next steps. We recommend you join the conversation, and we can share more on our proven processes to not only produce a Fall campaign that aligns with your sermon series, but will also help you plan, produce and promote the entire series that will ensure 100% participation of your average adult attendance.

Sign up below for a free consultation next Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday between 10:00 AM or 2:00 PM!

In addition, we can send you a care package, including full-color catalog, of our best examples from when we’ve worked with churches and organizations all across the country. These packages include a few sample series, such as books and DVD’s, to give you a better idea of the how and the what behind Lifetogether consulting and productions. Follow this link to check it out!

Second, we are including new group coaching programs to our coaching package, where if the production route isn’t financially suitable, then we will partner with you and your team to provide coaching strategies and consulting about production and ministry development instead. Follow the link below to see our new and exciting coaching package, including microsite and conversation service development.

Finally, we are offering the new Fall campaign, curriculum and consulting package, a special offer for a limited time. This is all-in-one, plug-and-play, package will help you be ready, in only six months, to launch your desired campaign! It is one of the most complete and effective programs we’ve ever introduced to churches across the country.

Happy Easter!

We hope this simulates your thinking, even for a moment, before the Easter crunch happens! As we mentioned above schedule an appointment or contact us using the button below for these limited fall campaign openings!

Conversation Service Coaching Program

Conversation Service Coaching Program

Over the last five years, we have partnered with pioneering, mainline churches to connect their entire congregation using technology and media. This passion and vision goes far beyond small groups and integrates into the very DNA of these churches, with thrilling results.

Some of the most interesting projects have come from the mainline traditions, where the heart for reaching a community through the power of community is embedded in the DNA. As a result, we have had a high level of response from some of these churches, and we’ve also learned a great deal. We’ve continued to develop these production insights, refine our campaign designs, and bundle all of this content creation into – a conversation service.

Here’s a trailer we put together for a new series at Victory World Church, that showcases the most prominent features of a conversation service. Take a look below:

This program is designed to help churches launch their first conversation service in order to reach more people on the weekend, engage the next generation, and launch groups 52 weeks a year.
