The Most Important Message Creates

GROWTHThe one organization that should have stellar communications is The Church. At GROWTHComms, we believe something more important than lives depends on it. We believe souls depend on it.

Many churches and faith-based non-profits rely on part-time and volunteer staff to do the heavy lifting of managing communications. Mass media changes at a breath-taking pace that can be daunting for even professional fulltime staff.

GROWTH Communications 2014 is the conference for any ministry serious about

equipping its communications team with the tools, knowledge and support necessary to reach its growth potential.

GROWTH is important because it means we are fulfilling Christ’s mandate to share the good news with all people. For this reason, we believe that all ministries and churches must actively reject communications strategies that result in stagnant or diminishing numbers.

GROWTH Communications 2014 is an investment in the long-term growth of your ministry. Communications and media ministry team

members shoulder an extremely high responsibility. Your ministry’s message must be effectively shared with both your internal and your external publics.

GROWTH Communications 2014 empowers ministry leaders and communications staff with the tools not only to manage, but also to maximize the impact of the message.

The Conference for Ministries Serious About GROWTH

And when I am lifted up from the earth, I will

draw everyone to myself. -John 12:32

Conference Schedule

Jesus Christ would have been a Communications Director’s dream. He was always on message. He told engaging stories that empowered and

enlightened the masses. He quite literally left us with GOOD NEWS to share with the entire world and grow the family.

The most important message in the world should come from the Church.

The message should be clear and uncompromising. Unfortunately, clear and uncompromised messaging is not always achieved.

Growth Communications 2014 will engage, empower and enlighten ministry communications leaders to create messaging strategies that promote, not

hamper ministry GROWTH.

Bass Public Affairs

Your Clear Voicein a Crowded

Market.

Bass Public Affairs (BPA) specializes in helping organizations impact public discourse by projecting a clear message in their earned and owned media.

We partner with a diverse set of organizations that have unique visions of the world they would like to create. However, their missions typically fall into one of two categories. They are organizations with missions bent towards teaching families how to create legacy wealth or they are organizations that want to halt the marginalization of people of faith in politics and culture.

Partners such as the KENO Foundation, The Lawrence Funderburke Youth Organization and Good Ground Good Life have each created programs that are bridging the financial literacy divide among privileged and lesser privileged elementary and secondary school students.

Organizations such as the Both Sides Forum, the Maryland Family Alliance and Glory to Glory Ministries are dedicated to encouraging people of faith to build stronger families through public discourse that generates sound public policy.
