The Media Should Know About Your Ministry, Part 4

How many people got saved at your church this Sunday? With whom did you share this great news? Did you tell your local TV station, newspaper or radio station? You should!

When something amazing happens in our ministries we think to tell our family, friends and Facebook, but what about the rest of the world. Pitch these stories to reporters and see how God works.

Jill Schultz of JMS Communications & Research suggests, “If you want to publicize a church ministry and think it may be worthy of media attention, ask yourself the following questions:
-- [Is your ministry’s success due to] some deeper understanding of what people are looking for today that makes it unique or non-traditional?
-- Is this something lasting and sincere that can be sustained, or is it a flash in the pan effort to attract attention?
-- Are you doing something very traditional but having phenomenal growth/success because of what you understand about what people are looking for today?
-- Can you quote external sources to validate your understanding of why your ministry effort is successful?”

Here are a few ideas of testimonies you can pitch to the media. Hopefully this will spark some thoughts of ways to get the media interested in publicizing your ministry:

Are you expecting something great to happen in the near future? Get the word out. Start the buzz now. When improvements are anticipated get the whole city excited. Someone with the same passion might jump on board to help speed up the process.

The church building fund has finally met its goal and now its time to build. Once the building is built and the doors are open, the entire community should rally around. Anything you build, we want to know about it. Building project raise the value of the neighborhood.

The Media Should Know About Your Ministry, Part 3

How many people got saved at your church this Sunday? With whom did you share this great news? Did you tell your local TV station, newspaper or radio station? You should!

When something amazing happens in our ministries we think to tell our family, friends and Facebook, but what about the rest of the world. Pitch these stories to reporters and see how God works.

Jill Schultz of JMS Communications & Research suggests the following: “A unique and meaningful youth program or a church that has a budding or successful ministry to a very forgotten group may be of interest to the media. Large youth events with bands focused on reaching out to the young people of a community may be of appeal, especially if the event is backed by a real understanding and some backup statistics of the needs of youth in the community or world today. Traditional news media cannot understand why the church believes what it does, but it can be intrigued when the church poses answers to problems that exist in our world, in our communities. ”

Ultimately, you must analyze if your church is engaging in activities worthy of sharing. Here are a few things to consider:

• Why do you spread the word about your ministry?
• Are you trying to increase membership or are you passionate about sharing the goodness of God?
• What is your ministry’s niche? How are you different?
• Are you having a positive impact on your community?
• What members of society are most affected by the missions of your ministry?
• What types of people are you concerned with (youth, widows, sick, homeless, etc.)?
• Does your ministry meet the overall goals and needs of the city?

What do you consider good reasons for a ministry publicizing their church to the ministry?

The Media Should Know About Your Ministry, Part 2

How many people got saved at your church this Sunday? With whom did you share this great news? Did you tell your local TV station, newspaper or radio station? You should!

When something amazing happens in our ministries we think to tell our family, friends and Facebook, but what about the rest of the world. Pitch these stories to reporters and see how God works.

Here are a few testimonies of how other ministries are pitching to the media. Hopefully this will spark some thoughts of ways to get the media interested in publicizing your ministry:

“Get the youth involved... it could be a musical concert by college students that gets covered by the local press.” (Tina Thomas, Owner of ATP Realty Group)

“The news media has very mixed feelings towards Christian ministry. They can be very cynical about it, but are at the same time attracted to it when it offers solutions to troubling problems and questions in our society. I can speak directly as a communications professional and former reporter in dealing with issues regarding a Christian ministry and as the wife of a minister. If you are looking for stories that you can publicize about your church, you will find the media interested in feature stories about unique and impactful community service projects. Around the time of high holy holidays in the church year such as Easter, Lent and Christmas, they may be interested in something unique that your church is doing to celebrate and commemorate those times. Churches that have unique ministries reaching out to those who are struggling with addictions or other life impairing issues are of interest to the media. Look for seasonal tie-ins -- if the weather has turned cold and you have a program to get coats to the homeless, it could be a story.” (Jill Schultz, JMS Communications & Research)
