According to a recent Pew Charitable Trust Survey, more than 2 million people are daily seeking spiritual or religious information online. What a great opportunity for ministry!

Does your church have a Web site that is an up-to-date resource for its members and the community? Does it use e-mail to keep members informed of important happenings in the congregation?

Hopefully you will find valuable resources on this site or at a synod communications training event. If your congregation needs specific communication help not found in these resources, contact Donna Prunkl at the synod office.
