There are many talented pastors out there today who have developed successful ministries at their own church and in their own community.

These ministry ideas are so valuable when it comes to spreading the Gospel. Unfortunately, many pastors let these great sermons and ministries sit out in the pasture and rust, like an old beat up station wagon with wood trim that hasn’t run for thirty years. It’s not their faults. Ministry takes valuable time and how can you add a large marketing project to your already long list of things to do? How do you justify taking more time away from your church, ministry or family to promote your message to the world?

I’m not pointing fingers. I’m just saying, it’s a shame. I am here to tell you, it doesn’t have to be that way.

Here at Cross Point, we have made it our mission to come along side not just pastors, but also lay-ministers, ministry leaders and servants of Christ who have developed powerful messages that should be shared with the world. Here is how we can do that.

1. WE PUBLISH FOR YOU- We can publish your book and promote it for you using all of this glorious technology.  We put together the details and work side by side with the author to promote their work. This doesn’t cost anything. We share the royalties from sales just like any other publisher/author relationship.
2. WE HELP YOU SELF-PUBLISH- We help you assemble your manuscript into a book and submit it to print-on-demand companies. We charge you up front for this service but we give you promotional guidance along the way.
3. WE TURN YOUR BOOK INTO A MINISTRY- If the potential is there, we turn your sermon into a book and create a ministry out of it. A perfect example of that is a recent book we published by F. Remy Diederich. Remy’s book Healing the Hurts of Your Past: A Guide to Overcoming the Pain of Shame is quickly becoming a ministry tool in churches across the globe. He had developed the concept years ago but had to put it on the shelf while he started a church. We have come along side of him and helped him breath new life into it. He is sharing the gifts of healing that God has given him with the world – while still being able to have time to focus on his church, community and family.
4. BUILD A PLATFORM- Perhaps you have already done the work of publishing and just need help in getting the message out there. Cross Point will soon have an answer for that. We will be launching a number of publishing/marketing programs to help writers build a solid sales platform by using the powerful social media that is in the palms of everyone’s hands. Visit our website in the coming weeks to learn more.

These are just some of the exciting things we have to offer. The real question is: “Are you ready to give your sermon a lasting legacy?”

Why should you preach a sermon one Sunday and just have it collect dust? Turn it into a book or ministry and share it with the world.

There has never been a better time to explore the publishing options available to everyone.
