This is a video of Andrew Mason, creative director at Bayshore Community Church, presenting at Ignite Sussex. He touches on some very good ideas and items to consider if your church is struggling to connect with the community by way of communication. Definitely like the parallel between church and business branding and where they overlap.
 
Very interesting video from Chris Conley (Gravity Tank) as he explains how design can be a facilitator rather than just an end result. As designers, we often overlook this aspect of our thinking because it's just built into us. However, design itself can be a great tool for all ministries and churches as they search for the best solutions.
