The United Reformed Church (URC) is encouraging all of its churches to have a communications volunteer and this booklet has been primarily written for those who have recently taken up, or are considering taking up this role. Local church communications cover a broad range of activities and this booklet aims to give an overview of the role and the desirable skills and abilities of volunteers.
Effective communications are essential for all organisations – including churches – in the 21st century. The form they take will vary hugely from church-to-church but, at its simplest, effective communication means that those within the congregation know what is going on in the church and those without, who want to learn more about the life of your church, and the good news of the Gospel, can easily find out.
