Communications Team...

Good idea? Who has one at their church? How does it function? What are the ups and downs? I wondered if anyone had set one up at their church because it sounds like a great idea. Picture this... a team who deals with all communications in and out of the church... brand, signage, printing, website etc. But also how we communicate ourselves to visitors on a Sunday and throughout the week... from ushers to signage.

Then I ask.... how does one get around the fact that people resources are always stretched at church? I am a graphic designer by trade and I love creative arts... which means I do all things design and marketing, printing and anything to do with the website inclduing maintaining the e-mail accounts and setting up new sites and e-mails should the need arise. I also lead in drama activities. When I ask for help... the people who I know are able... are already stretched as it is... how do we develop the need for a communication culture in our church so that its not just up to the able few?
