Communication Resources

INTRODUCTION

These pages provide a range of resources which can be used to help congregations and presbyteries to communicate the Church's message more effectively and clearly to the wider world.

They include information on communicating beyond the Church, with other churches and partners overseas, guidelines for dealing with the media, and tools for different types of communication, such as publications, meetings and the internet.

Communication Strategy

In 2007, the Church launched a Communication Strategy to help Councils, presbyteries, congregations and others engage with those outside the Church and maintain effective communication within it. You can download a full copy of the Strategy here.

Developing a local communication strategy

You may want to develop your own communication strategy at a local or regional level. A 'brainstorming' meeting can be a helpful way to start the process, and guidelines for doing this can be downloaded below, along with a workshop presentation.
