Click on the image above to download an article, share, and discuss with church staff to help you be more effective in your communication in the coming year.

How do you know if you are accomplishing anything of value in the work you do? We are entrusted with the words of eternal life and it's important that we be effective in our job. To give you some ideas on the importance of measurement and balance in your church communication ministry, I'm sharing a PDF of a recent article I did for Ministry Tech Magazine, "Figure It Out: What Works in Church Communication."

I'm passing this on in PDF format so you can print it out and pass it on to others on your church staff and hopefully start a discussion that will make you all more effective. To download the article CLICK HERE or on the image.
