Announcement Request: Community Boards and Event Promotion
WHY DO I HAVE TO FILL THIS OUT?
Practically speaking, we have many avenues and many things to communicate. This form allows us to have a central place to store promotional information. That means you, as the organizer, do not have to duplicate information when you want to partner with us to promote an event.
Spiritually, our purpose as the church is to worship God by SHARING the GRACE of Jesus Christ. With this in mind, we have certain convictions about how we communicate.
1. We desire that the Gospel is the number one thing we communicate to everyone.
2. We give priority promotion to our church's outreach events & discipleship programs over community events to keep the priority of SHARING the Gospel first.
3. We believe that to communicate clearly, we must not "over-communicate." We all recognize it is easier to remember a list of 3 things versus a list of 10 things. Therefore, we want to ensure that when we need to communicate many things to many people, we are organized and purposeful.
INCLUSION: All requests are reviewed before publication. We reserve the right to edit your announcement for length and content if necessary. Due to a large number of events advertised throughout the year, we may sometimes need to shorten the duration of your announcement or not promote your event.
All announcement requests are strongly requested to have Ministry Area approval before submission. This will cut down on any conflicting announcements.
Please ensure your event is booked on the church calendar BEFORE this request is submitted. If an event is not on the church calendar – the announcement WILL NOT run.
TARGET AUDIENCE: Announcements should be directed to the entire congregation (or large subsets of the congregation). Information for small target groups can be disseminated by letters or phone calls – rather than church-wide.
DURATION OF ANNOUNCEMENTS: Announcements will generally run for no longer than two weeks. (The week before and the week of an event).
OUTSIDE EVENTS: We generally do not advertise events sponsored by outside organizations.
SIZE LIMIT: If your event has a limit on registration/attendance, please include this information upfront. Events with limited open space will not be publicized as they can best be filled by individual communication.
FUNDRAISERS - The stewardship committee must approve all fundraisers before they can be promoted within our church building.
We hope the above information will help you as you plan the advertising for your scheduled event. If you have any further questions about these guidelines – please call the church office at 336-476-6258.
