Thanks for the post. I'm really thinking about this right now for our church in Auburn, AL. It's called Campus Church, btw. It seems like such a weighty decision to tag our church with a statement but it makes so much sense how it can clarify the win for our people and those were introducing ourselves to. Thanks for your thoughts and the powerful examples.

I had the same thoughts when I saw a bus and a billboard with the motto “Believe in Something Better.” Shouldn’t that be from a church or non-profit. NO, its U.S. Cellular’s marketing slogan.

We’re involved in a branding study at the church I serve full-time as Youth Minister. Part of our core story is that we have a rich history (170th anniversary next summer) and a pioneering spirit (still innovating and growing after all that time). I summarized us as “Rooted, Relevant and Real.” Rooted in Scripture, Relevant to today and Real people.

It is the depth and breadth of Collide that justify it as the replacement to Church Marketing Sucks in my RSS reader. That its tone is positively engaged with culture is a plus. Aren’t the quirky excesses of the ’90s hilariously wonderful?

It would really nice to follow one simple, straightforward summary blurb for either home or church. Thanks for that. Oh look, another wall I can bang my head against!

Great post that makes me want to sit down and think about taglines. What would my tagline be in my own life right now? I’d like it to be something like Robby Seay Band’s “Rise, rise people of love.” It isn’t…but I’d like it to be.

But how powerful…”Alone no more.” Wow.

We went from a long sentence with 5 points to “GPS: God, People, Service”. It helped things tremendously.

“Fearlessly Loving God and People.” …might verge on your 90s era buzz words but it captures our heart.

Ours is pretty simple – “Loving People to Christ”
