Hey there! So, how does this work?

You've found our Communication Page! This is primarily for ministry leaders, but also anyone who is leading an event at Lighthouse (whether internally as a part of Lighthouse or externally as a part of a different organization) and needs to reserve a space for your function, or request promotion within the church. If that's not you, then this page isn't for you! If you're looking to get in touch with the church and accidentally came across this page, no problem! Just call 817.237.2758 or email (coming soon).

INTERNAL COMMUNICATIONS
Below, you will find a rotation of the screen graphics that will appear before and after each service and livestream, as well as the plan for upcoming eNews newsletters and restroom posters. This will help to keep you informed on what's being shared at any given time.

OUR FORMS
Below, you will also find our forms. The first is to fulfill administrative needs; a request for a room on a specific day. There is a lot happening during the week at Lighthouse, and we need to make sure your event doesn't interfere or conflict with anything else, and also that we can help make your event happen! This will also be for reserving a promo table in the foyer, giving us the ability to ensure multiple tables aren't running simultaneously and competing for the limited available window of time on Sunday mornings. Once this has been approved, we'll begin processing your submission on the second form, the promotional request. This is to tell us all about your event, giving us the clearest picture to know the purpose and passion behind it so we can promote it as effectively as possible. Please note, you can submit both forms, in any order, but work will not begin with promotions until the administrative side has been approved.

OUR PROCESS
  1. Submit the calendar request to clear that your event can happen when you want.
  2. Submit a promotional request. For the best chance of success in promoting your event, this will need to be completed TWO WEEKS BEFORE you are wanting any promoting to take place. This gives time to work around other events, and also to review graphics and details before they are published for everyone to see. We understand life happens and it doesn't always work out getting information delivered with as much advance notice as needed, in which case we will do the best we can, but can't make any promises it will be immediately ready for publishing.
i. Our Communications Director, Austin Bond, will reach out to you within a few days of submission. If you have not heard back within three days, please send an email directly to abond@lfwired.org to check that the submission was received.
ii. Roughly one week from submitting, you will receive an email with the graphic to review before publishing and a distribution plan explaining where it will be published (ie. the Hub on the website, weekly eNews newsletter, social media posts, slide rotation, and/or restroom posters. Dates and frequency of publishings may also be listed).
iii. If enough time is allotted prior to the need for getting your event out into the world, you'll have the chance to review and request changes.
iv. We launch your event into the public eye!

Promo booth, room, and calendar requests

Below is the button which will take you to our calendar form and handle the administrative logistics of your event! The form is on CCB, our church database system. Remember, this form can be done after the promotion request below, but work on the promotion will not begin until the calendar request has been approved (so we have details locked in before creating graphics).

Promotion Request Form

If you have any pre-produced elements (such as logos), or any follow-up questions, please email them to abond@lfwired.org. Be sure to include your event's name in the subject line.
