Effective Church Communications
Effective Church Communications provides Timeless Strategy and Biblical Inspiration to help churches create communications that fully fulfill the Great Commission
A personal invitation is one of the best ways to get people to come to your church and one of the best ways for people to remember your invitation and actually show up at the church is for you to give them a business card with the church information on it.
PLEASE take a few minutes to watch this video on the value of them and how to use them effectively.
Below the video are more resources to help you create them. [Read more...]

Many people forget that Halloween is a great time to share your faith. That's because it is one time of year when many people are thinking about death.
Though secular views are distorted, this provides an opportunity to start a discussion about the one person that conquered death--Jesus. To encourage your people to use this time of year to share their faith, I prepared this Halloween-themed bulletin insert.
It was designed to be used on a church bulletin insert, but it can be put into any regular communication with your congregation: email; newsletter, website, whatever you can think of, to motivate your people to use every event of the year as an opportunity to bring their friends to church and introduce them to Jesus.

Here is an example of a very simple bulletin cover, that has a clear explanation of what is going on in the church service. Any church could create a cost-effective piece like this, though it would be especially appropriate for a church plant or one that is reaching out to unchurched people.
It would work well because it explains what is going on in a very friendly welcoming way and without jargon. It also doesn't look overly churchy. This is from an actual church bulletin and was given to me by a generous church communicator.
Following is information on how we created the image as well as the seeker and visitor friendly text for the bulletin cover.
How we created the image is illustrated in this video: Image editing excerpt from the video: Money and Time Saving Tips for Church Communications
Below is the text from the Bulletin that you can copy and use in your communications and below that is a ready-to-print PDF and editable MS Publisher template.
Welcome!
Thanks for
joining us today!Here is what you can expect:
Our Worship Service: We will begin with about 30-40 minutes of singing. Feel free to sit, stand, sing, dance or just listen as we express our worship to God using all of our heart, mind, soul and body. If you don’t know the songs, hang on, we’ll sing them a couple of times-and don’t worry, we didn’t know them at first either.The Message: A time of practical teaching from the Bible.
The Offering: This is a time for church members to share with the church financially how God has blessed them. If you are a visitor, don’t feel you have to contribute- the only gift we’d like from you is your Connection Card. Consider this service our
gift to you!Prayer Time: there will be people up front after the service to pray for any needs you may have. Please come up if interested!
Refreshments: Join us for coffee, lemonade and munchies in the lobby after the service.
