BACKGROUND OF STUDY

MARKETING OF CHURCH SERVICES (A CASE STUDY OF CATHOLIC CHURCH IN ENUGU METROPOLIS)

  The Church (Dr. Ludwig Ott: 270) is a designation for the Christian Cult – structure since the beginning of the fourth, century.   In the profane sense it designates the assembly of the people, the civil community or any kind of gathering of people.  But in the religion sense it mans the community of God.  Other synonymous designation is the kingdom of heaven, kingdom of God, house of God.  But the Roman CatePAchism supported by St. Augustine (Ps. 149.3) gives the following definition of the concept “The Church is the faithful of the whole world”.

          In the contemporary, we have the Churches in every nook and cranny of the world.   Each without doubt has gone into massive, advertising with commercial jingles and messages competing for our attention daily.
