Posted by: | CommentsMy wife told me about this tragic story of a Southern Baptist pastor being killed in Illinois … and when I saw his name I remembered I had interviewed for a story a couple years ago when I was communications director for Midwestern Baptist Seminary.

A Request from Church Communications Pro to You!
Posted by: | Comments
I can’t tell you how excited and blessed I am to be given this opportunity here at Church Communications Pro and to be able to explore new territory! I have all kinds of ideas jumping around in my head but I know that I am going to have to pace myself and learn some new skills and take time to do this right. I am going to share a bit of what I envision happening here at some point:
- Great interviews and Q & A Sessions with some really cool people from a variety of church backgrounds, visions, and skills. I love learning from others in the trenches and hope this will be a sweet addition.
- Pre-designed and Open Source products such as sermon branding kits, blog headers, website skins, connect cards, and more. I have stuff I have been working on for some time as well as have a few talented designers who will be contributing their stuff as well.
- Guest writers who will contribute excellent articles in their area of gifting or skill sets.
- Consulting for churches
- Sponsorship opportunities and additional resources
These are just a few ideas that I have, but what I am requesting is feedback from you, the Church Communications Pro readers. What are your suggestions for improving or building upon the foundation here? What would be beneficial for your church or ministry? How can I make CCP even better? Please think about providing your two cents to me personally or responding here in the comment section. I really appreciate it!
