Media Ministry Publication and Announcement Guidelines:
The number one goal of the Media Ministry is to glorify God through media presentations, events, recordings, and
communication. The Media Ministry functions to assist the church in communicating information about the various
ministries to our community and within the church. In order to do this effectively, the following guidelines have been
established to better serve the ministries of the church.
Screen Announcements for Sunday Morning Worship:
(Submitted at least 3 weeks prior to event)
The number one purpose for Sunday morning is for the church to come together to worship God and respond to His
revelation. Screen announcements will be made prior to the service for events that affect:
A. The entire church (Fall Festival, guest speakers, mission trips, etc.)
B. Information that involves half the church (new women’s Bible study, men’s Bible study, etc.)
All other events should be handled on the church website or within the ministry groups, such as individual Sunday
School Class gatherings or meetings.
Advertising Tip:
