Adventist Media Network - Training

Training

The Communication department runs a series of training seminars for local churches. Contact us if you would like to find out more.

Our seminars cover the following areas:

					1. What is keeping people away from your church? Could it be the way it communicates? An overview of the messages that overall presentation, such as maintenance, street signage, gardens, car parks send to your local community. This seminar includes a survey that will help you identify the areas which your church needs to improve first. 2. What is the role of the local church’s communication secretary? 3. What does your bulletin say about your church? How can you improve it?
					4. Why is it that the church down the street is always featured in the local newspaper? Writing a media release that will get published is not as technical and as difficult as it sounds. The seminar deals with the ins and outs of media relations and story angles. You might even get to draft a media release
					5. What’s the big deal about ‘branding’ the church in the right way? What’s branding anyway? Strategies, examples and practical resources your church can use straight away to attract new people and find a renewed sense of identity. When is the last time your church put on a party for the neighbourhood children? When did you last teach someone how to cook a delicious vegetarian meal? Do you want people to see your church as a welcoming place? Consider organising a top-class event. Learn how to organise and market an event to the right people. And how to change these people’s misconceptions about your church in the process.
					6. Websites: should your church have one? If yes, what should it look like and what should it say? Learn what works and what doesn’t when developing a new website, or how to improve your existing one.
