YOUR

NEED HELP...

You have big dreams for your parish's growth, but something that always seems to trip you up is communications. No matter how many flyers you make, bulletins you print, or events you run, it never seems to make a difference in parishioner engagement or new member registrations.

You know your parish has huge potential - you just don't know how to get there.

ARE LIMITED...

THE

resources

All of the secular resources out there don't really work for parish communications - after all, you're not out solely (or soul-ly!) to make a profit. You're not sure who to trust or even how to seek out the resources you need to amplify your communications.

And of course, time is always a factor - because communications is just one of the many hats you wear.

THAT'S WHERE

COME IN!

We've been working with parishes for more than a decade. We know parish life - and we know communications too. Through our Kerygma Coaching programs, we work with your parish one-on-one to learn about your unique goals and optimize your parish communications from both an inward and outward perspective.

The ultimate goal? To get your parish's communications designed to reignite inactive parishioners and your parish's marketing attracting new ones.

Why Coaching?

Simply put, communications is the key to growth at your parish. And since church communications is such a new area, it's quite possible that no one on your staff has been properly trained on Catholic communications and marketing.

It's time to stop just "figuring it out" and actually feeling confident in your church's communications!

Plus, we know how easy it is to let parish marketing fall to the wayside amidst the demands of communicating to current parishioners. By setting aside this dedicated time, you're giving yourself the freedom to finally pursue those long-term projects that make long-term impact - and investing in the consulting needed to make it successful.

Being Social on Social

Creating community online has never been easier thanks to social media. Churches can utilize social media to foster their in-person communities digitally...but do you know how? In this workshop, we'll go over the basics of social media and how to create a dynamic social media presence for your parish that not only fosters your congregation's connection, but also works to expand your reach as an evangelization tool in your local area.
Branding Basics

Does reading the church bulletin seem like a font selection guide? Can parishioners identify when a mailing is from you? Branding covers so much more than your visual identity - it also aids how people feel when they think about your church. In this workshop, we'll dive into how to select fonts and colors that represent your church, creating a brand guide (and how to have it implemented, even among volunteers), and honing in on your church's unique personality.
Making an Entrance: Identifying Entrypoints

We often wish we could reach our less active parishioners - but when we do, we fail to capitalize on the moment! Key moments for conversion like CAPE (Christmas, Ash Wednesday, Palm Sunday, Easter) and sacraments are often overlooked from a communications standpoint, but there are so many things you can do to capitalize on these pivotal moments. In this workshop, we'll work to identify the key entrypoints for your parish and brainstorm communications methods to bring them back to church.
Beyond Envelopes: Welcoming New Parishioners

What's the first thing new parishioners get when they register at your parish? A nice big stack of envelopes? Because nothing says welcome like give us money! In this workshop, we'll go over some welcome strategies you can put in place to get parishioners from passive registrants to active participants. Ideas discussed include recruitment strategies, registration letters and swag, and digital follow-up strategies.
