What’s your question about communications?
When you are overloaded with work, the last thing you want to entertain is a project that doesn't move the mission of the church forward. But how can you tell the difference between something being mission critical or personal preference?
Unfortunately, you can't. And to be honest, Comm shouldn't be the judge of that anyway.
But the problem still needs to be solved, so let's solve it.
5 steps to better supporting ministry:
1. Align with leadership
Where does leadership want you to invest your time–event promotion or event support?
2. Land on a plan
Provide event support as part of your promotional plan. Don't have one? Learn how to build one here: https://www.lunchtimeheroes.co/promotion-plan
3. Formalize the plan
Share the plan with department leaders and anyone else on the team who might be frustrated or stressed about the changes.
4. Support ministry leaders
Equip ministry leaders for success.
