Church festivals allow communities to gather and enjoy each other's company while eating great food and listening to awesome music. If you're in charge of planning one of these gatherings, it can be an incredible opportunity to ensure that you do the best possible for your church.
Set an Appropriate Budget and Schedule
Your budget matters more for this gathering than anything else.
Unfortunately, churches don't have an unlimited amount of money they can throw at a dry bar, so make a realistic schedule and budget to ensure that you make a gathering that won't break the bank. This is especially important if the event's main goal is to gain more funds for the church!
Seek Out Volunteers to Help
Church events need a lot of work to run without a hitch: so you must have as many people as necessary on hand. The best way to ensure this is to explain to your church that you're looking for volunteers and make it clear how large of a commitment that would be for them.
It's vital to have dates in mind before you do this so that people will know whether or not their schedules are clear for it.
Ensure You Have Awesome Entertainment
The entertainment at any gathering will tell you everything you need to know about it! What type of entertainment does your show need? What would inspire the people attending, and what would help them feel like a community?
Gospel singers carry a lot of power in this area and are often one of the best additions to any gathering, whether for church or not. Powerful vocals mixed with incredible presence will ensure that everyone talks about this church festival for years to come.
Consider Food and Drinks
The best thing about a church festival is that you can often find vendors who would love to sell food at your event. Consider if you want to have food that people can buy, or if you'd rather invest the budget so that people can eat for free the entire time they're at the festival.
This can often be decided by whether or not you're charging people for the festival and what the goal of the festival is. If your goal is to gain more church members, sometimes the free food helps. On the other hand, if the goal is to earn money to help the church with repairs, it's better to allow people to buy their food.
Advertise Thoroughly As a Church Event
Make sure as many people as possible know about the church event and the fact that it's a church event. This is vital to allow yourself to succeed and give yourself the chance to create a successful gathering.
You can advertise on social media, talk to local news networks, and of course, advertise in your church itself.
You Can Make Any Event Successful With Some Work
Although it can feel like church events have lost their popularity in recent years: you don’t have to settle for an event that’s anything less than what you want.
By putting in the time, talking to the right people, and advertising well enough: you’ll create a gathering that everyone will want to attend!
