The Latest on Church-Wide Campaigns – 2016
Saddleback released the 40 Days of Purpose church-wide campaign in 2002. Although they had previously launched internal spiritual growth campaigns, this one really was a just-add-water option. Of course, in 2002 it really was just about the only option.
Today, there are lots of options and there are more all the time. I’ve reviewed many of them and cataloged them here for your convenience. How to choose? I’d highly recommend my article, “How to Choose the Right Church-Wide Campaign.”
