Public Relations For Ministries Webinar

Public relations is more than communication or “spin”—it’s a reflection of leadership and how your church is perceived in the community. Positive PR plays a crucial role in crisis preparedness, and we’ll explore how to build community goodwill, craft statements, designate a spokesperson, and minimize the impact of challenging situations. This webinar will empower church leaders with practical strategies to ensure that their outreach, events, and ministry efforts foster a positive image of the church and ultimately point others to Jesus. You’ll learn how to publicize events and initiatives effectively by strengthening relationships with the media, establishing a clear and consistent communication plan within your congregation, and without appearing self-promotional.

Whether you’re new to PR or seeking to enhance your approach, this session will provide actionable insights to help your church become a visible and trusted presence in the community.

This event will be free for ECAP Members and $25 for non-members.
