From big cities to small towns, Trunk-Or-Treat events are not just popular, they’re growing.
This conversation with Darrell Stetler is filled with practical steps to help churches of any size put on a high-quality, gospel-centered Trunk-or-Treat event. Darrell is a small-church pastor in Oklahoma City and he has created a free 23-page guide called Trunk-or-Treat Planning for Churches: A Step-by-step Guide.
Darrell and I talk about the practical issues of a great Trunk-or-Treat event, including:
- The benefits of having a church Trunk-or-Treat
- How to pick a theme
- Who it’s designed to reach
- How to reach them
- When planning should begin
- How to recruit volunteers
- How to gather information from attenders
- How to follow up
