Effective Church Communications
The Effective Church Communication ministry from Yvon Prehn provides inspiration, training, and resources to help your church create communications that fully fulfill the Great Commission. It focuses on Bible-based and timeless principles and strategies that work no matter what digital or print channel you use to create your communications. The site has links to many free TEMPLATES and other resources, plus links to free TRAINING VIDEOS, and a RESOURCE LIBRARY for church communicators.

The following images were created with Canva's AI image creation program. This is a small portion of the many that were not worth keeping but I liked these, some quite a lot, and wanted to share them with you. You may use them however you want and no attribution is needed. I used some of them on my free social media images set for Mother's Day.
