GCC Publicity 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 Publicity 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 a Calendar 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. If you have not submitted a ‘Calendar Request’ form and/or had a ministry staff member approve your event or activity, please do so before submitting a ‘Publicity Request’ form. CALENDAR REQUEST FORM Do you need to use a Publicity Request form? (The answer is almost always 'yes'.) 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 Patty . PUBLICITY REQUEST FORM Publicity 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 publicity 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. Ministry staff will ensure that all materials meet required standards, including aesthetic quality and appropriate content. Remember The ‘Publicity Request’ process is separate from the ‘Calendar Request’ process. Please be sure to submit a ‘Calendar Request Form ' . All Publicity Requests are submitted to Patty Mund, then she will coordinate with others as needed. The event/activity should have only one person assigned to coordinate the publicity needs with Patty. All requests should be made three weeks prior to when the publicity is needed (not three weeks prior to the event date).

Doug and Emilee Irwin Greater Europe Mission Phone: 800-436-4488 Website: gemission.org Address: Greater Europe Mission (GEM) 18950 Base Camp Road Monument, CO 80132 Birthday: Doug: December 23 Emilee: April 16 Graham: December 21 Maeve: July 21 Paris Olympics Art Project Update During the Paris Summer Olympic Games, Emilee Irwin organized an art exhibition. This event provided an opportunity for her to collaborate with other arts leaders in the city, potentially laying the groundwork for future partnerships. The exhibition was part of 'Ensemble 2024,' a multi-faceted project spearheaded by the French National Council for Evangelicals in collaboration with churches and ministries across France. Emilee and her team used the exhibition as a means to share the gospel with both visitors and artists. This initiative also lead to new GEM missionaries joining local ministries in Paris in the future. Take a moment to watch this video update. Mission Focus We are grateful to be a part of a new church plant in Paris. Doug is one of the teaching pastors (with his French partner – Guillaume Bourin) at Église de la Rive Droite (Church of the Right Bank) in southeast Paris. We are currently working with our core team and are looking to open our doors in December 2022/January 2023. Emilee is serving as the Arts Impact Zone leader for GEM missionaries throughout Europe, helping them to make disciples and grow Christ’s church through their unique gifts and friend groups. It is a major blessing to be working with such a dedicated core team. Pray that our young church will continue to glorify God in word and in deed. Testimony Doug's Testimony I was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, but grew up in St. Louis, Missouri. My dad was raised in a practicing Roman Catholic family, while my mom grew up in an Episcopal church. They both stopped going to church in college. When I was 16, my younger brother, Jeff, began attending a Wednesday night youth group rally at the invitation of his friend, where he prayed to receive Christ. The church reached out to my family and came to our home to share the gospel with the rest of us. My parents and younger twin brothers prayed to receive Christ then, but I was skeptical. Several times over the next few months, a college student from the church came over to play basketball and share the gospel with me. I began to see that my sin was great and that I had no ultimate purpose in my life. I asked for God’s forgiveness and asked Jesus to be my Lord and Savior. I had a wonderful youth pastor who discipled me very quickly. I attended a youth camp called Discipleship Now where I experienced a special call to ministry. God led me to continue to pursue this calling and to study the scriptures at Southwest Baptist University in Bolivar, MO, where Emilee and I met. After college, we went to Fort Worth, TX, to Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Emilee and I sensed a call from the Lord to serve on two short-term teams in 2013 and 2014 to Lille to help Leroy and Debbie Zumack, and since then have felt God leading us long term to serve on a church-planting team in Paris. Emilee's Testimony I was blessed to grow up in a loving Christian home. My parents taught me about Christ’s love from the beginning. I prayed to receive Christ with my mom at home when I was 6. I grew up singing in church and knowing that Jesus died for my sins, but I had a time of real spiritual growth and renewed commitment to living a surrendered life to him the year before I entered college at Southwest Baptist University in Bolivar, MO. Doug and I met my freshman year at SBU and were married before my senior year. Doug’s call to ministry was echoed in my life and we have been involved with several ministries, many of them church plants, through the years. We have both felt a call to serve in France as part of a church planting team.God’s not finished with me yet, as I am learning every day what a completely surrendered life is like, but he has shown me that his plans for me are good and that his love for me is greater than I could fathom!

Steve & Nancy Huerd Cru Phone: 651-592-6576 Website: www.give.cru.org/0392804 Address: 4806 Lakes Edge Lane Kissimmee, FL 34744 Birthday: Steve: September 25 Nancy: January 31 Mission Focus One of the greatest challenges of being a missionary is trusting God to provide all your financial needs. Steve devotes most of his time to leading this critical area in coaching our new and senior staff to ensure they are fully funded and financially faithful. He is also very involved in the HR side of ministry, helping shepherd and develop our staff to their fullest potential. A blessing is being able to send full-time workers to locations nationally and abroad that we will never be able to visit or see. Nancy's mission focus: Cru High School summer assignment coordinator, application evaluator, staff care and assisting where needed. All are opportunities to be used by God to bless, serve and assist our High School staff in helping to reach teenagers with the gospel, but they also can be challenging in hard situations. Testimony Steve's Testimony Growing up in Minnesota, I did not attend church and was sincerely searching for the truth. During my sophomore year in high school, I became a Christ follower as the result of a large outreach presented by Student Venture (Cru’s High School Ministry). I became a student leader in this movement, reaching many of my peers with the gospel. Because God had changed my life so much, instinctively, I knew God had called me to join Cru even before graduating from high school. Nancy's Testimony I grew up going to church. In second grade, I told our pastor I wanted to become a Christian and be baptized. My real motivation was because my best friend had done it and I wanted to be like her. However, something was always missing, so I put much effort into excelling in grades, sports, being a good person and thought this would please God. However, as a junior in high school we lost the state basketball championship and God used that to humble me and see my need for Him. The next day I went forward at my church saying I wanted to rededicate my life to God, but this is really when I became a Christian. Later as an adult while attending Grace Community Chapel, I realized I needed to get baptized as a true believer in the Lord. I was baptized by Pastor Miller.

STATEMENT OF FAITH Statement of Faith 1. We believe the sixty-six books of the Bible to be the only inspired, authoritative Word of God, inerrant in the original manuscripts. (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21) 2. We believe that there is one God , the Creator, eternally existent in three Persons–Father, Son and Holy Spirit–each having the same essence and attributes. (2 Corinthians 13:14; Matthew 28:19) 3. We believe that Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man in indivisible union. We believe in His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His substitutionary atonement through His shed blood, His death and bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His future bodily return in power and glory. (John 1:1,14; Philippians 2:6-8; 1 Timothy 3:16; Revelation 19:11-16; I Corinthians 15:1-8) 4. We believe the Holy Spirit convicts of sin, regenerates, indwells, baptizes and seals all believers at the moment of their salvation, filling them as they yield to Him with the goal of conforming them to the image of Christ. (Titus 3:5; 1 Corinthians 3:16, 12:13; Ephesians 1:13, 5:18) 5. We believe salvation is a gift of God received through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone and His sacrifice for sin. We believe that a person is justified by grace through faith apart from works and that all true believers have eternal life. Saving faith includes repentance, which is a change of mind about sin and the need for Jesus as Savior. (Ephesians 2:8-9; John 3:16; I John 5:10-13; Mark 1:15) 6. We believe that the true Church is composed of all such persons who through saving faith in Jesus Christ have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit and are united together in the Body of Christ of which He is the Head. (Colossians 1:18; Ephesians 1:22-23, 2:19-22) 7. We believe that water baptism and the *Lord’s Supper are ordinances to be observed by the Church during the present age. They are, however, not to be regarded as means of salvation. (Acts 8:12; 1 Corinthians 11:23-28) 8. We believe in the bodily resurrection of the dead, of the believer to everlasting glory in heaven with God and the unbeliever to judgment and everlasting conscious punishment in hell apart from God. (2 Thessalonians 1:9; Revelation 22:3-5, 20:15; Daniel 12:2) *Communion is open to all who have trusted Christ as Savior whether members of Grace or not and is observed on the first Sunday of each month.
