Welcome to the Effective Church Communications Library

Church communicators are expected to have skills in many areas. They are required to be marketing management, and software experts, brilliant graphic designers, layout experts, and copywriters, all with a wise Biblical foundation and effective strategies to grow churches in numbers and believers as disciples. Plus, since church communications is one of the most strategic and spiritually important areas of the church, they are often subjected to very real spiritual warfare as we have an enemy who does not want to see them succeed.

To be a church communicator is an extraordinary calling and often one entered without any of the necessary skills. My heart breaks for the thousands of them I’ve interacted with over the years, while I am astonished by their bravery and what they accomplish with the skills and tools they have.

To be of service to them, I was fortunate enough to be trained early in the days prior to computers by some great teachers in the communication fields. I learned to write, design, do typography, and layout in painstaking and detailed ways. I was given invaluable training which I was able to then translate into digital skills when the computer came along.

Based on that foundation and what I’ve learned since then, I have a vast amount of material that is useful for church communicators that I am in the process of making available in the Effective Church Communication Library.

To make it more manageable, I have organized the training videos, eBooks,and collections of articles into the following categories. Some are in more than one, but I’ve tried to make them useful for you to find what you need.
