How to Grow Your Bible School
Tips & Resources from Our Pros
You took the first step and registered to become a Christian Life School of Theology (CLSTG) partner school. Congratulations! You are on your way to equipping disciples with a deeper understanding of God’s Word so they can be effective witnesses for Christ in their spheres of influence. But first, you need to get them in the classroom.
We are committed to helping your school educate, empower and encourage students to leverage their Kingdom purpose in the local church, the community and the marketplace. Your job is to communicate this vision to your congregation or target audience. Let them know why your Bible school exists. Whether you aim to promote biblical literacy, support spiritual formation or engage the culture, share the God-dream in your heart and inspire your followers to get on board.
So, what are some practical ways to get the message out about your Bible school? Our team has prepared a few tips and resources just for you. The promotional strategies below are simple enough to start implementing today.
Social Media
We have taken the guesswork out of social media strategy by preparing a collection of pre-written posts with corresponding graphics. You can even customize these images by adding your Bible school’s logo. Our Partner School Resources page is periodically updated to include new social media assets, so check back often to see what’s available.
Try to designate one person to manage your social media channels, and remember that consistency is key! You don’t have to post every day; just one or two posts per week can help to develop your online presence and build trust among followers.
Email Campaigns
If your church already has a monthly e-newsletter, this is a great tool for promoting your Bible college. If you are not sending out regular emails, service providers like Mailchimp make it easy to get started, with free plans for users with up to 500 contacts.
In-Person Events
We designed a retractable banner that can be made to order with your logo and contact information. Display it in your church lobby and at special events to spur interest in your school. Contact us for pricing.
FREE Marketing Consultation
That’s right! Each of our partner schools is entitled to a free session with one of our marketing specialists. We will answer your questions and share insider tips to help set your Bible school up for success!
