Pro Church Tools recently sat down with Nicki Shearer, Elevation Church’s Digital Content Director. She is responsible for overseeing all the copy coming out of Elevation Church, the 25,000-member multisite led by Steven Furtick. She sets the tone of church emails, blesses or nixes the language of social media posts, and develops guidelines for responding to events in the news.
In a wide-ranging interview, Shearer explains that while they may use certain phrases in church, Elevation Church doesn’t use words like “resurrection,” “calvary,” or “blood of Jesus” on its Easter invites, as that language will “immediately make someone feel like an outsider.”
For more on Furtick, here are some of his best/ worst hits:

Ya think?
I can’t remember what church it was but they kicked the Bible on Super bowl Sunday. They just try to keep it entertaining so that people keep coming and giving them money.
The first thing that comes in after women ministers are appointed is increased money flow and the first thing to go out is Christ’s resurrection. Sounds like a plan?
They’re essentially drama “social clubs” with just enough religion tossed in to maintain the 401c.
That’s my conclusion too.
On judgement day, Jesus Christ Himself will say to these heretics, “Depart from Me, I never knew you!”.
It is not a Christian church, so it has no need for the resurrection. It is one of those “other gospels” Paul warned about.
My church featured an easter egg hunt as part of the Easter service last year. The Easter Bunny was also part of the service.
Ask that certain "someone" to leave the room - or, preferably, the congregation!
Problem solved!
Wait! You say there's more than one person offended by those expressions?!
Regards,
I had never heard of this church before, but it doesn’t matter. They are obviously not preaching the Gospel anyway. I guess, before one would attend there,you’d have to ask yourself why you go to Church. If you can’t think of a reason, then maybe you’d go to the Elevation Church. What a waste of time.
