Beginning 2010, United Methodist Communications’ Rethink Church initiative will offer partnership grants for media and marketing to United Methodist districts, conferences and clustered churches who will engage with their community in outreach ministries events.
This new program. Impact Community, encourages The people of The United Methodist Church to effect change in their local communities by supporting their efforts with:
- Media planning, placement, design, customization and funds
- Event planning resources and assistance
- Event registration software
- Public Relations tips and strategies
- A training module specifically for event day volunteers.
Impact Community events will be as unique and diverse as the people who organize them, but there are several basic elements that we envision being incorporated into a successful event experience. The composition of the event day will reflect an opportunity for training specific to welcoming the community, a service project that meets the needs of the community and is sustainable and a worship/celebration component.
United Methodist Communications is very excited to be joining our churches together to reach out to communities in need as one church family, proving what we say we believe with what we do!
Media services, planning, estimates and placement, are still available at no cost to all our congregations by calling toll free 877-281-6535 or emailing us at ImpactCommunity@umcom.org.
