You can copy another church's social media, stage design, website. But their communications? You can't see it from the outside.
The strategy is invisible. The systems are invisible. So we all keep recycling the same broken patterns.
Proof: a church of under 200 in Texas and a church of over 2,000 in California. Completely different operationally. Yet both average ~10 announcements per service, point people to 12-13 different destinations, and scored a 94 on their Church Chaos Score.
Because comms isn't a department in church. It's what every ministry runs on.
Head to churchchaos.com and get your church's Chaos Score - takes about three minutes to submit, totally free.
