How to Design a Better Church Bulletin

from The Pro Church Tools Show with Brady Shearer

Most churches still use bulletins. But with that being said, when was the last time you examined the true purpose of your church bulletin - and whether or not it was accomplishing its goal? In this video, we'll lay out a series of principles that we believe a church bulletin should abide by and I'll even give you a free bulletin Photoshop template to help you create your own.     BULLETIN TEMPLATE: https://prochurchtools.com/u6oh   ***VISIT THE FULL POST HERE: https://prochurchtools.com/16645-2/   What's In This Session? Does your church have a bulletin? 64% of responders said yes; 36% said no (0:31) This episode isn't about eliminating your church's bulletin (1:04) Principle #1: There is value in physical handouts at an in-person experience (1:20) Principle #2: Your church's bulletin should align with your overall communication strategy (2:37) Principle #3: The less the content changes - the better (average cost of printing bulletin is $0.25 - a church of 100 people printing weekly bulletins costs more than $100/month) (3:29) Our overall communication strategy is The Central Hub - a single destination for every next step (5:10) Idea #1: Your bulletin should inspire action, not simply contain information (8:20) Idea #2: Your bulletin design should align with your church's style guide (8:51) Idea #3: Your bulletin should be just as useful for new folks as it regular attendees (10:03) Idea #4: Your bulletin could be distributed monthly instead of weekly (11:14) Idea #5: Your bulletin should point your church to The Central Hub (13:35) What to include in your bulletin? Four squares -> Small groups, giving, prayer request, one BIG event (13:39)   Show Notes & Resources Mentioned: The Central Hub: signups and registrations Pro Church Tools Pro Church Tools on Facebook Pro Church Tools on YouTube Brady Shearer on Instagram Brady Shearer on Twitter Alex Mills on Instagram
