NEW Lifetogether Publishing Program After publishing over $10 million dollars worth of award winning and best-selling video curriculum, we have learned a lot about what it takes to professionally publish, package and sell video-based small group resources to local churches around the world. Over the last 15 years, we both produced and published over 500 fully custom church-wide campaign curriculum for most of the major Christian publishers, para-church ministries, best-selling authors and local church pastors. We have proven that we know small groups, how to publish video curriculum, and how to sell it to local churches. That's why we are so excited to announce a brand-new publishing program that we're rolling out to our new and existing church partners. As of today, we're no longer just producing curriculum for local churches and consulting them on how to connect their congregations, but we are going to be professionally publishing their campaigns and curriculum series to distribute them to other churches, Christian ministries, and small groups around the world. This way, they not only help their congregation, but help other congregations be impacted by their messages as well.
This offer is perfect for pastors who have written a book or are writing a book or hope to ever write a book in the future, based off any topic or life message. Similar to the 40 Days of Purpose, any campaign has far more value if coupled with a companion trade book along with a video curriculum series. Every pastor has a book deep in their heart and a longing to have it introduced to their congregation and beyond. Thus, we would love to help get that message out!
Over a decade ago, I helped to put together the 40 Days of Purpose campaign kit for Rick Warren that started with my team coaching 29 churches that over the years went on to be 29,000 churches worldwide. As a result of the past decade of learnings, innovations and insights, we will be putting together fully custom church-wide campaign kits, based off of your video teaching series, and helping you to promote it to other churches around the country.
In addition to the services outlined in our "Ministry Offerings Brochure", this new publishing program is our latest breakthrough in partnering with local churches. While we can't guarantee the results of the resale of any curriculum or campaign, we do have one of the largest list of churches who buy small group curriculum and are looking for their next campaign series.
As a result, we have developed 4 new Publishing Programs that we are rolling out to our existing and future church partners. Each of these programs offer a more cost-effective offering, where the church can receive free production services in exchange for shared revenue on the sales of the curriculum and campaign to other churches. This way, churches could recoup their costs and potentially allow the pastor to receive royalties from the sale of those resources, similar to writing a trade book with a Christian publisher. With this model everybody wins - the church, the pastor, and the impact in your community.
We are launching this new publishing initiative as a pilot this Summer and Fall with a handful of churches. We are currently interviewing candidate churches for the next wave and would love to share with you more about a package that will best suit your congregation and aligns with a budget of any size. For more information about this exciting new pilot, e-mail theresa@lifetogether.com or call 949-769-0777. Look forward to connecting soon.
