The temporal marketing concept is something that deals with the corporate negative psyche of the people about the congregations. There are several individuals who don't have any positive ideas about the church are fed up of the preaching about the responsibility of the man's life and what god wishes them to do. In actuality they believe in the loving the life and as far as possible living it according to their likes and dislikes instead than the god's. But that does not mean that this lot of youngsters doesn't mean the real meaning of life and are wasting their lives. In actuality, they are as well working as hard as others or may be even more to make their lives successful and fruitful.

To target such people, the church with the secular marketing tells than it is the church which is different than all others and if you also gel with the ideology of it, you are welcome to join the group. The ideology of such churches consists of the beliefs that don't consider that churches are only made for Christians. As well, they don' preach about the duties of the man and force people to walk on the path already laid from the generations. In fact, they prompt people to tread their own path and do whatever they like doing.

The secular church gives space to the individuals and that does not mean that they are not performing the task of the church. In actuality, they also listen to the people and impart their knowledge and share it with the members but the difference is that the style is not the same. They don't preach it, in fact they shoe it in their attitude and behavior and makes individuals follow it through subtle means.

There are several peple who want a break from the normal church this new concept of being secular attracts several. But if the church is not like this, it won't be much useful to market it in the temporal way, it is because when the people comes to these churches, they come up with the expectancy o meeting something that is unlike. If it won't meet the expectations of people, the whole attempts of marketing which be useless. The job of the marketing is to bring the people to the church, but to retain them there is purely the job of he church itself.

The critics of the temporal church concept argue that by campaigning their church as different, the church is not treating others as the fellow Christ communities, in reality they describe them as the competitors. This is again not in consonance with the principles of the Christ. He wanted the churches or rather the congregations of the world to spread the message of the god unanimously. But if the church will get involved in this kind of competition, it will come out as the commodity to be sold in the market and there are chances that in this race the church will forget its original motive. In this case, it will turn out of be membership driven place of Christ rather than the other way around.

The secular churches are mostly targeted to the kids or the comparatively youth segment which don't want to live in the age of pressures and guilt. The only pressure that is in their lives comes from the office or work, which they take to live life with more materialistic comfort.
