A complete guide to setting up a communications request process for your church with a ready-to-use form template you can start using this week.
Every church comms person knows this scene.
“Hey, can you knock something up for Sunday?"
It’s Tuesday. The event’s in five days. There’s no brief, no copy, no photos. Just a name, a date, and a smile.
Here’s the thing: ministry leaders aren’t trying to make your life difficult. They just don’t know what you need from them. Or how long things take. That’s not a people problem. It’s a process problem.
A communications request form changes everything. It protects your time. It gets better briefs out of people. And it gives you something to point to when the next ambush comes!
