GCC Event Request Instructions
(Note: This information is for ministry coordinators who are requesting publicity for an event or activity at Grace Community Chapel.)
Please review the details below prior to submitting your Event Request form. Contact Patty Mund (pmund@gcchapel.org) if you have any questions.
Ministry Staff Approval
All activities and events being held on-site require submission and ministry staff approval of an Event Request Form. All off-site activities and events being promoted at Grace require ministry staff approval as well, and a Calendar Request form is required. Please complete the Calendar Request form for off-site event approval before proceeding with a Publicity Request.
The form below also includes a Marketing Request option. Almost all Calendar Requests need Marketing on some level. The first step in requesting publicity, regardless of what type of publicity you need, is to complete and submit the form, following the guidelines on this page. (Even if your only request is for a bulletin announcement, or if you’re not sure what kind of publicity resources are available to you, a publicity request is needed.) Almost every event and program at Grace is promoted on our app or website, through our email marketing system, and on social media. Your event or ministry program may be receiving more publicity than you realize, and the completed form will help ensure your publicity needs are covered. Of course there are exceptions, so if in doubt, please contact the church office.
Marketing Guidelines
-
Promotional materials and resources are provided to support the ministries of GCC and require the approval of the ministry staff.
-
Available resources may include print materials, bulletin announcement, email campaign, website, social media, and online registration.
-
Requests for publicity should be submitted a minimum of three weeks prior to the date marketing is to begin.
-
Choose one person from your ministry area to communicate the promotional needs for your event/activity.
-
Ensure all details are accurate before submitting your request. Changes cannot be made after materials are printed. An online registration form should not be altered once registration has begun.
-
Please note: our team typically creates all marketing materials to ensure consistency with our branding and messaging. If you choose to submit your own design, it will be reviewed by staff and may not be used.
