Developing and Communicating your Plan: Part 2
|
|
|
|

In this article, I wrote about the importance of developing and communicating a plan for creating, editing, and publishing your content. In this post, I present a possible policy document for you to copy and adapt to your purposes. Please keep in mind that this is not a cookie-cutter document that you should use "as-is," but a starting place for you to create your own. Our church website is one means of communicating with the congregation and with those who might be interested in attending one of our ministry events. All official church activities should be promoted on our church website, either through a simple calendar entry or a paragraph providing more details about the event.
In order to ensure accurate and professional communication, all website content at East Timbuctu Baptist Church is approved and edited by the church secretary. When you submit an event for the church calendar or bulletin, please indicate if you would also like that material included on our website.
Ministry leaders are responsible for creating the content that should be on their respective pages within their site. To update the content, please print a copy of the current page, make any necessary edits in red pen, and deliver to the secretary.
News reports and photos of past events may also be included upon request. Please speak with the secretary about the nature of your event, and whether a news report would be appropriate. Please note that photos of minors may be included only with parental permission, and that names will not be included with any photos.
Upon approval, the secretary will forward the material to the webmaster for publication. Please note that it may take up to one week for your content to be uploaded, so please plan accordingly. You should plan on promoting your event at least one month before the event takes place. Obviously, you probably don't attend the East Timbuctu Baptist Church, and I imagine that your church will have a different set of policies and procedures. Would you be willing to share your document with us? Go ahead and post it as a comment to this post! Grace and Peace, PastorJon Labels: plan, policy

Jonathan Twitchell,
the owner of YourChurchWeb.net, is also a pastor and podcaster.
He and his wife Melody live near the coast of Maine with
their black, long-hair, bobtail cat named Kiera.
Pastor Jon believes that churches must stay abreast of new technologies
in their effort to reach the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Through websites, podcasts, radio and television, the Church
of the 21st century has the unique opportunity to be available to all
people, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.
YourChurchWeb.net was begun in 2001 based on the conviction that every
church ought to have a website, and that the technology should be as
affordable as possible.
Jonathan's brother Douglas
Twitchell joins us on this blog as an occasional guest
blogger. Douglas is the owner of Virtu Software,
and specializes in web-based programming and database development. For
an example of some of Doug's work, check out Quote Puzzler.
Doug is also very involved in ministry through his local church,
and his ministry
and devotional website.
