2018 Michigan Annual Conference

Annual Conference Services

United Methodist Communications partners with annual conferences to strengthen communication, expand ministry reach, and share the story of The United Methodist Church. Through strategic support, training, and technology resources, we help conferences communicate effectively with their churches and communities.

United Methodist Communications supports annual conferences in reaching new audiences and strengthening their public presence. We offer billboard and outdoor advertising campaigns, church signage and visibility projects, and context-based marketing initiatives tailored to conference needs.

Sharing the story of United Methodist ministry is central to our work. We support conference communicators in telling the story of the church through clear, compelling content. We provide collaboration in article writing, guidance on communicating conference news, and support in amplifying the story of The UMC.
