It’s very easy to walk straight past your church noticeboard - but it’s one of your church's most important communication tools.
First impressions count
Everyone will see your noticeboard when they pass by the church, so it’s important to make a good first impression.
The way your notice board looks will, be a significant factor determining whether passers-by decide to take a second look at the church and feel welcome enough to venture inside. It is an opportunity to introduce your church to your community and portray an image of your church to the outside world. A well designed, informative notice board will show that your church is active and organised.
Tips for notice boards:
- Focus on the welcome
- Use a friendly tone
- Keep it simple - not too much text
- Clear text and images
- Be bold - don't be afraid to get creative
- Keep up to date with the seasons (of the year and the church calendar)
There are loads of great resources online that can help you create contemporary and professional looking notices and posters. Visit our 'Design tools, images and digital resources' webpage for more information.
