Ministry Goals: Defining Your Purpose [Webinar Recording]

April 28, 2020 Peter Frank

Or are you just pursuing communication tactics? In other words, do you feel like you are communicating without a singular purpose?

Church communicators are given are hard task. They are asked to share messages with a large audience while operating under a small budget, and often this is done in a part-time or volunteer capacity. To top it all off, technology changes so fast that as soon as you figure out a tool, it changes.

Wouldn't it be great if you could focus on what's really important, regardless of the specific message or platform?

Join Peter Frank, Senior Manager of Marketing Technology at Concordia Technology Solutions, as he leads you through the free seven-week online Church Communications Strategy Training Course.
