Ministry Promotional Guidelines

All church promotions require a Promotion Request Form submitted in a timely manner. No promotional effort can be initiated without this vital piece of information. (see form below)

Bulletin Inserts / Announcements

Request/info must be submitted two weeks in advance. Please indicate if the insert is to be one or two sided. Bulletin inserts measure 5 3/8” x 8 1/2”.  If the announcement does not require an insert, please limit message to 40 words.

Please include exact copy (wording) or accurate information with such requests. Please submit  request by email or hardcopy.

E-Newsletter

Deadline for submissions is Tuesday at 3 pm. E-newsletters are mass emailed exactly at noon on Wednesdays by an outside service provider. All requests submitted after 3pm on Tuesdays will be included in the following week’s e-newsletter, so plan accordingly.  Please be sure to include all pertinent information, proofed and preferably ready to paste into the document.

Video Announcements

Video announcements are “aired” on our website. No video announcements are played during worship.
Deadline for requests is three weeks before announcements are played. All information, ideas and/or scripts must be submitted with request.

Electronic Slides  (Lobby / Worship Center)

Requests must be submitted one week in advance. Please submit all ideas, info, photos or other material by email. We will be happy to compose a graphic if we have correct information and enough time. 

Print (posters, brochures, direct mail)

If your team is able to compose a piece and submit it to the church office directly, time will be saved and your piece will “hit the streets” sooner. If you need our assistance with design, we would be more than happy to compose something. All common print requests must be made at least 14 days in advance. For complex, polished four color publications or postcards/doorhangers, submissions must be made 30 days in advance.

Submissions to us should be in a Word, PDF, PSD, Pages, In-Design or Pagemaker file format. No clip art is used in our print work. Unauthorized signs, notices or other postings taped to walls throughout the Worship Center or other buildings will be removed regardless of content.

Call Mark Welch at the church office if you have any questions or need assistance in making your project a success. 562-3201 or mwelch@ncovenant.org
