A Peer-2-Peer Webinar for Communications and Marketing Professionals
As with everything, our theology ought to inform our practice. In some arenas that comes easily. Our ecclesiology prompts us to participate in the life of a local church. Our soteriology compels us to share the message of salvation with others. Often, however, we fall short of developing a robust missiology that informs our work as Christian communicators. What, exactly, IS God’s mission and how does it intersect with our job? In this webinar we will unpack a working understanding of the mission of God, review the elements of effective communication, and then combine the two, exploring together how our missiology ought to both influence and be reflected in our communication and marketing endeavors.
