ADDING INCLUSIVE LANGUAGE<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n

Most church events have a bigger goal in mind\u2014to let your community know you’re there for them. From Christmas plays to block parties in the summer, we all want our communities to get familiar with our ministries. After all, getting to know one another is the first step in building lasting relationships within our larger community. This goes beyond the people who share the same interests and family dynamics\u2014building a true community includes those with differing perspectives, as well.<\/p>\n

In order to connect with people with different backgrounds and family structures, consider adding language that would make anyone feel welcome at your next event. As you market your church event, get curious about how you can be more inclusive by asking:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Is our event marketed with clear details?<\/li>\n
  • Is our event accessible to people with various disabilities?<\/li>\n
  • Does our event need translation at any point?<\/li>\n
  • Does this event require parent involvement? If so, how can we accommodate various family dynamics?<\/li>\n
  • How can we go beyond blanket statements of welcoming others and get specific about who’s included when we say “all” are invited?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
