DEADLINES<br />
We must have Communication Request Forms at least four weeks before you’d like your project to be finished. (Please<br />
see printing bullet below for more information on how long printing takes and where certain things get printed.) Please<br />
note that if a piece has to be ordered out-of-house, a Communication Request Form will need to be submitted at least six<br />
weeks prior.<br />
EDITING<br />
Once the Communications Department gets the initial proof, you may look over/edit it. Please make sure that you have all<br />
your information together before giving it to us to minimize the editing process.<br />
PRINTING<br />
If you are requesting a printed piece, depending on how many copies you’d like printed, the Communications Director will<br />
decide how your piece will be printed. Depending on the quantity & quality of the prints, the Communications Director will<br />
determine if the printing will be done in-house or outsourced.<br />
• IN-HOUSE: Typically, if you are printing 200 or fewer copies, we will print in-house. This means you don’t have<br />
extra print time, so you can submit your request four weeks in advance. The Communications Director will either print<br />
the pieces or send you a printable PDF so you can print the copies you need. Please see the printing section of this<br />
manual for more information on how to print in-house.<br />
• OUTSOURCE: If you need more than 200 copies or a different quality of print, the Communications Director will<br />
send your project to a professional printer (this cost will be taken from your budget). This can take up to two extra<br />
weeks, which means you’ll need to submit your project request at least six weeks before you need your printed piece<br />
to avoid rush/expedited shipping costs.<br />
Now that you know how to submit a request for a specific project or event, please read the rest of this section to learn<br />
about the many avenues we have for communicating important information to those who visit and attend Peace Church.<br />
INTERNAL PROMOTIONS<br />
There are a few opportunities for you to promote your ministry or event. All communications must be approved. Read below<br />
for what they are and the guidelines for each one.<br />
THE BULLETIN<br />
The Bulletin is a publication that we provide at every Sunday morning service that includes a condensed list of<br />
announcements (eight max). The Bulletin’s chief goal is to enhance and aid our Sunday worship experience, which includes<br />
not overwhelming guests with every single thing we have going on at Peace Church. We do not run personal announcements<br />
or outside ministries’ announcements (unless specifically sponsored by/partnered with Peace Church).<br />
Part of choosing announcements is based on which items apply to the broadest group of people. The Communications<br />
Department will determine which weeks and the total number of times announcements will be ran. Announcement requests<br />
should be submitted by the end of the day on Tuesday (advance notice is appreciated).<br />
If you’d like an announcement in the Bulletin that we are not already aware of, (Website Calendar, reoccurring events,<br />
Communication Request Form, etc.) submit announcements to us at announcements@peacechurch.cc.<br />
MINISTRY UPDATES<br />
Ministry Updates are announcements given on Sunday mornings from stage or through video.<br />
We try to keep Ministry Updates to a maximum of three announcements per week, so to overwhelm people with too much<br />
information at one time. Please refer to the Communications Priority System for a better idea of what kind of announcements<br />
will take precedence for Ministry Updates and how the Communications Department determines the priority level.<br />
