Catchy tunes and clever phrases work for many products, but the advertising for The Untied Methodist Church has something much more important to offer – ultimately, the love of God through Jesus Christ.  When seekers respond to our advertising messages, they especially check out the people.

To make the benefits of the United Methodist Church real, WE have to LIVE the promise of “Open hearts.  Open minds.  Open doors.”  Igniting Ministry training offers help!

Starting out – Welcoming Basics:  An overview of the advertising and welcoming ministry of The United Methodist Church.  During this time participants will learn how to use the Planning Handbook.

Igniting Ministry training provides opportunities to listen and to participate. The event includes the following information and activities:

• Sessions that address the needs and concerns of newcomers and how local churches can help meet those needs.
• Ideas for inviting new people to be part of the faith community.
• Discipling tips for follow up with people who have attended the church, to help get them connected to the congregation.
• Opportunities to see the TV spots and other media resources, such as direct mail, billboards, door hangers, etc.

ALL IT COSTS IS YOUR TIME!
