Because a church needs to pay for heating, air conditioning, lighting, maintenance, a priest (or other spiritual leader, depending on the religion), and a variety of other things. So they need to attract a congregation, and show people in the community that there is a church there.

Because they are all about making money, just like any other business.

Churches need creative ways to attract people as well. They want witness to people any way they can.
Times are changing, advertisers are everywhere trying to get you to try this, buy that, ... Churches are finding it hard to get there message out in a way that ordinary people will be attracted to it. So why not try advertising! |

You've just encountered the big paradox!
At some point, for someone to be really good at something, practicing 2 hours a day won't cut it. An instrumentalist, for example. That person will need to "turn pro". However, once a person has "turned pro", (s)he will need to keep his/her audience entertained. The Military Bands come to mind. These people have to work extremely hard to get in, and stay in, but what do they tend to play in concert? The military has figured out that the average dolt in the audience does not want to hear a bunch of instrumentalists playing the standard wind ensemble repertoire - they want to hear vocalists. Consequently, much of what is played is at best a horrid waste of time, and most of the players themselves don't like it. The pastor of a church has the same problem. (S)he can "serve" his cause only a limited number of hours per week as a lay person. But once (s)he becomes a professional, the pastor must entertain his/her audience, in order to maintain the necessary income. "Generous" contributors generally make their desires known, often to the consternation of the clergy. A minister, or vendor, will want to maintain a variety of clients, so that no one client will account for a disproportional share of the business. PS: Would you like to speculate what the church of the 22nd century will look like? |

Because they DO advertise just like any other business. They even have door to door sales reps. They also have vans driving around town w/ writing on the vehicle warning ppl to repent. Last weekend I even saw a guy standing on the street corner wearing a sandwich board that said "Believe in Jesus. Repent or BURN" The name of his church (along w/ their web address) was included at the bottom.
