Publications

Welcome to Publications Ministry web page. Publications is dedicated to enhancing the image and aesthetic value of Pentecostal Tabernacle. We focus on the P-value of Professionalism. We strive to ensure that all church materials (written or visual) have correct spelling, grammar and punctuation; are visually attractive and well-presented; and clearly and effectively communicate the message and identity of the church at large as well as each of the individual ministries. From editing to advertising and public relations, Publications is here to serve you.

There are different teams in the Publications Ministry. If you’re interested in becoming part of the Publications Ministry, please send an email to publications@ptspice.org. Below is more information about the Publications Ministry.

Bulletin (for Announcements and Publicity)

  • All announcements that need to be in the bulletin must be sent by Wednesday at 5:00 PM. There are no exceptions to this rule. Anything received afterward will be included in the Bulletin for the following Sunday. Please send bulletin announcements to bulletin@ptspice.org.
  • Please limit announcement text to 1 or 2 sentences to allow space for all the announcements that need to be included in the Bulletin.
  • Please specify when the announcement should start appearing in the Bulletin and when it can be removed. This is especially important if the announcement is not event related.

Graphic Design (projects, flyers, postcards, brochures, banners, etc.):

  • Projects that Publications undertakes for PT in general and for individual ministries include: advertisements (printed & PowerPoint), flyers, brochures, banners, booklet covers, CD covers, weekly bulletin, event programs, photography, and other projects as assigned.
  • Please fill out the Publications Project Form for all designs & printed materials. Within 24 – 48 hours, we will get back to you. Requests are needed 1 month to 2 months in advance before the due date, 2 weeks, the latest. This time is needed in order to:
  1. Present 1st draft, review and give feedback;
  2. Present 2nd draft, give final critique;
  3. Review to ensure that the design/printed material is well branded;
  4. Proof-read to ensure there are no grammatical errors;
  5. Finalize and print.
  • Printing costs are not handled by Publications but must be covered by the ministry that is being serviced by the Publications ministry.

Photography

  • All pictures are taken by Pentecostal Tabernacle’s official photographers
  • Please notify the Publications ministry a month in advance if you want photography at an event. You can send requests to publications@ptspice.org, with date, time and location.

Proofreading

The purpose of the proofreading part of the Publications Ministry is to ensure that all printed and electronic materials under its purview have correct spelling and grammar; are visually attractive and well-presented; and clearly and effectively communicate the message and identity of the church at large as well as each of the individual ministries.

Proofreading is required for the following materials:

  • Sunday bulletin (weekly) and any inserts
  • Bishop’s blog (when part of Sunday bulletin and when he asks for proofreading before publishing)
  • Selah newsletter articles (prior to printing)
  • Publicity for church events as requested (postcards for Easter and Back to School Sunday, banners, etc.)
  • Publicity and printed materials for individual ministries as requested (flyers, posters, postcards, brochures, banners, event programs tickets, web pages, etc.)
  • Printed materials that just need proofreading (e.g., Recruitment Center brochures and job descriptions)
