IPHC Communication Services
October 26, 2010
The Church Survives on Communication• The message, without communication, is
confined to the originator.• Multiple- mode communication was God’s
idea first.– Prophets, Judges– Types in the OT– Jesus – The Word– The Holy Spirit (Direct, Personal
Communication)
Our Communication Must Be. . .
• Relevant – pertains to the matter at hand; Pertinent
• Dynamic – vigorously active or forceful; Energetic; Effective.
• Demonstrative – serving to demonstrate; explanatory or illustrative. serving to prove the truth of anything; indubitably conclusive.
While the message remains constant, multiple media must be used to reach a diverse target audience.
In our time, the available means of communication and the technology related to those means are constantly changing. We are continually offered new ways to communicate an unchanging message.
The role of Communication Services is to remain knowledgeable of the available communications media and the related technology and assist ministries by making those media available.
