Christian context of church communications

Church communications serves both the Great Commission and the Great Commandment: making the Good News known, helping people take their next step toward Christ, and reminding us to love one another as Christ loved us.

At CMC, communications carries our vision — Passionate for God, Loving the Community — to an inter-generational, multilingual family and to the East Coast community around us. In practice, the communications team stewards everything people read, watch, touch or click beyond the pulpit: the website, livestream, social media, WITNESS magazine, print, signage and the church's visual identity.
