Center for Church Communication

Churches have the greatest story ever told, but we don't know how to tell it. We've got a communication problem. That remarkable story is lost thanks in part to poor research, little or no planning, bad clip art, cheesy photos and ignorable ads.

We believe there's a better way. It's not simply flashy designs or catchy slogans, but effective and authentic communication. If we can't communicate, how can we fulfill the great commission?

We want the Church to matter.
We want your church to matter.

We want to help the church matter, but we can't do it alone. We need your help.

Here are three simple ways you can support the Center for Church Communication:

1) Get Involved
Join the conversation: post comments, tell your friends, share your wisdom.

2) Donate
Being a non-profit implies a certain lack of cash, but we do still have bills to pay. Your donations help us help the church. So we appreciate any donations, no matter the size.

Squidoo users, you can now donate your earnings to CFCC. When you're editing your lens, look for payment options towards the bottom of the right sidebar. Choose to donate to a specific charity and look for "Center for Church Communication" in the drop down.

3) Pray
While we're all about doing what works and utilizing the latest marketing techniques and fancy new technologies, we're also keenly aware that nothing happens without God. The church will never matter on its own. So more than involvement, more than cash-this movement needs prayer.
