Easter weekend is over. After all the months of planning, and a whirlwind weekend of executing, you now have a chance to take a breath. Spending time recovering, physically and mentally, is a vital task in the weeks to come. Yet it’s also important to spend some time as a team debriefing. Jerod Clark https://network.crcna.org/topic/church-administration/church-admin-finance/communication/easter-debriefing Tue, 09 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000 https://network.crcna.org/topic/church-administration/church-admin-finance/communication/fine-tuning-your-easter-planning You don’t need (or probably want) me to remind you that Easter is quickly approaching. But it is. As you’re fine-tuning your plans, I want to offer a few ideas for how you can make sure your work ends up benefiting the most people possible.  Jerod Clark https://network.crcna.org/topic/church-administration/church-admin-finance/communication/fine-tuning-your-easter-planning Thu, 18 Feb 2016 14:34:58 +0000 https://network.crcna.org/topic/church-administration/church-admin-finance/communication/common-church-communications There is no doubt that church communications can be a difficult career. Oftentimes, it’s an area that doesn’t get the full authority it needs. But as a church communicator, there are some ways you can help make your job more effective.

It’s true. Yet so many churches struggle when it comes to finding the right things to post on social media, websites or other communications avenues. Often the problem is communicators feel like every outlet needs new, unique content. Jerod Clark https://network.crcna.org/topic/church-administration/church-admin-finance/communication/repurposing-your-church-content Tue, 16 Jun 2015 13:20:58 +0000 https://network.crcna.org/topic/church-administration/church-admin-finance/communication/church-easter-planning You’ve heard it before, but it’s worth repeating: Easter has the opportunity to be one of the busiest times of the year for your church. There’s opportunity to reach new people and invigorate those who are already a part of your community.

Reaching a customer with a message is clearly external, while talking about the day-to-day work of a company is internal.

Whether you’re finishing up your plans, or getting a late start, here are a few areas to consider.

Because it brings together many factions of a church, it lends itself to being an area of conflict. People in different departments want to silo up and keep independence.

While some churches are rocking Twitter, others aren’t giving the best impression of who they are. If you’re committed to being on the blue bird network, here are some areas for you to consider.

Those days are gone. In this webinar, we discuss a multi-media approach to communicating with members and your surrounding community.

Why? The bulletin is often a dumping ground for information.
