Philippines church communicators develop new skills


Communicators in the Philippines hope to reach a broader audience using new communications tools. The Taytay United Methodist Church Communications team, in partnership with United Methodist Communications, hosted a “Tell Your Church’s Story” training event for churches in the Rizal Philippines Annual Conference East (RPACE) on March 22. A dozen church teams brushed up communications strategies for social media platforms in hopes of reaching new people in addition to current church members. Janina Quitlong and Cathy Pimentel report from Taytay, Philippines.
