Immediate Aid for Building Relationships Beyond Your Church Walls
Leah Norton

Ever feel like strategically and creatively communicating to build relationships with those beyond your church walls is an impossible feat? With busy ministries, pressing deadlines and limited budgets, your communications focus can quickly become all about what’s happening INSIDE your church.

Beginning with a brief overview of PR basics (identifying target audiences, developing measurable goals/objectives, etc.), this workshop will provide strategic plans and practical tools for building effective:
Community relations: how to connect and communicate well in or with your church’s local community (case studies to be shared)
Media relations: how to connect and communicate well with your church’s local media (to include tips/ideas for developing story ideas and pitching them to the media)
