Strengthening & Growing A Faith Community
Singing

We Live In A Place Where your vital message can strengthen and grow your faith community. In order to foster that community, you need:

  • To Connect
  • To Grow
  • To Thrive

    • Over the next few months, Cathedral would like to explore how we can partner with you and your church community to help bring about a new sense of commitment and dedication.

    In this issue, we are going to focus on different ways you can connect and focus your message.
    To Connect, you need to effectively reach out to your parishioners/members.

    In today's active society, you need to reach out and touch your parishioners/members by using multiple communication vehicles. Based on national research groups, outside of your active core of 30%, most churches see the typical attendee in the pew once every three weeks. If you are communicating solely through the pulpit and weekly bulletins, it will take almost a month to reach your active faithful.

    Don't sell short the power and value of using a mailed offering envelope system as a cost effective communication tool. Adding pastoral letters, mini newsletters, or a calendar of events to your regularly scheduled offering envelope mailings:
    • Saves the cost of special mailings
    • Gets the message out to everyone
    • Increases attendance and participation
    • Creates a sense of belonging
    • Makes better use of staff and volunteer resources
    Read this month's "Bright Idea" feature below to learn how increasing communications helped ignite this month's featured church.

    Call Customer Service today at 800-698-0299 for assistance with maximizing your church communication efforts.
