Ministry  Promotional Guidelines

All announcement and/or promotional requests must be made using the Promotional Request Form (Word Document).

NCUMC Website

Team Leaders are responsible for maintaining their own ministry pages. If you are in need of a log-in password or need instruction, please contact the church office.  Requests for main page announcements for major events require a Promotional Request Form. Outdated material will be removed without notice. Please monitor your pages. We do not provide content for your page.

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 50 words. Bulletin inserts may be inserted for one Sunday only.
Please include exact copy or accurate information with such requests. Please submit  request by email.

E-newsletter
Deadline for submission is Tuesday at 3 pm. E-newsletters are mass emailed at noon on Wednesdays. Requests submitted after  3 pm Tuesday will be included in the following week’s e-newsletter, so plan accordingly.  Please be sure to include all pertinent information,  ready to paste into the news.  Writers Tip:  Tell your readers why your ministry announcement or event is vital to the church body. Inspire them - just placing the time/date/location is not enough to motivate.

Photos for inclusion into your story are highly desirable.

Video Announcements
Video announcements will be played on the large screens before Sunday services only during our pre-service video segment, 5B4.
Deadline for requests is two weeks before announcements are played. All information and/or scripts must be submitted with request.

Electronic Slides (Lobby & Worship Center)
Requests must be submitted two weeks 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. Indicate duration of slide run.

Posters, Brochures
Many color print requests that require a polished look on card stock, etc. must  be sent out to a commercial printer.  If your team is able to compose a piece and submit to the printer 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 color print requests requiring outside printing must be made 30 days in advance. 

Presently, we are able to print full color brochures and 12x18" posters.  Please submit such requests at least three weeks before they are needed for distribution. Please do not tape homemade posters or any other poster type message to campus walls or doors without authorization from the Communications Dept. Unauthorized material will be automatically removed.

Submissions to us should be in a Word, PDF, Photoshop, Pagemaker or Pages file format – sorry, no Publisher files can be accepted.
