Each year, we do a canvas of our community meeting our neighbors, distributing brochures, and inviting people to worship and other special events. We provide specialized ministry to a particular group with special needs in our community. Our congregation has a reputation in the local community as a reaching and serving church because of our involvement with local events, organizations and social service agencies. We are visible in the community on issues of public policy and human need. A number of our congregation's activities take place in public spaces, like restaurants or schools.
Local groups meet regularly in our building.
Our congregation has a simple, distinctive logo that appears on all letterhead, bulletins, newsletters, brochures and advertising. We are comfortable using modern media to communicate the gospel in our worship services. We have an answering machine or voice-mail system that answers the phone after hours. We often send brief, well-written news releases to local newspapers. We use print ads and other invitational print media to attract unchurched people to our congregation, especially around Christmas and Easter.
