SOUND FAMILIAR?
Somebody handed you the church's communications. Now what?
Maybe you're the new hire. Maybe you're the volunteer who said yes once and never got to stop. Either way, there's a bulletin due Thursday, a website nobody has touched since Easter, and no one to show you where anything is. This course hands you the first 90 days in order, so you stop guessing.
THE PLAN
Four phases. Ninety days. One calendar you trust.
Each phase ends with a short homework assignment, so you're building something real, not just watching videos.
01
Listen and audit
Take stock of every channel your church already uses, and what's actually working, before you change a thing.
02
Find the keys
Track down the logins, the decision-makers, and the approval paths, so nothing stalls on your watch.
03
Ask your people
Hear from staff, volunteers, and your congregation about what they actually need from church communications.
04
Build the calendar
Turn everything you've learned into a communications calendar you can actually keep up with.
WHAT YOU GET
Everything you need for your first 90 days
A clear path. Four phases, in order, so you always know what to do next.
A printable workbook. Fill it in as you go and keep it as your comms playbook.
Homework with real feedback. Turn in each phase's assignment and I'll read it and reply.
Your pace, your schedule. It's self-paced, so it fits around Sunday, not the other way around.
YOUR GUIDE
You don't have to figure this out alone.
Hi, I'm Katie Allred. I've spent more than 25 years building online communities, including a community of more than 35,000 church leaders, and I wrote Church Communications (B&H Academic).
I built this course for the person I meet most often: the one who just got handed the church's communications and is quietly trying to figure it out alone. You're not behind. You just need a plan.
GOOD QUESTIONS
Before you sign up
Is it really free?
Yes. No credit card and no trial that turns into a charge. You create a free Allred Academy account and the course is yours.
How much time will it take?
It's self-paced and built around a 90-day rhythm, so you can work through it alongside your actual job. Each phase ends with one short homework assignment.
I'm a volunteer, not staff. Is this for me?
Absolutely. It's built for anyone running church communications, paid or volunteer, brand new or a few years in.
Who reads my homework?
I do. Turn in your assignment at the end of each phase and I'll read it and reply.
What happens after I sign up?
You'll get an email with your login to Allred Academy. Start Phase 1 whenever you're ready.
Stop winging it. Start with a plan.
Ninety days from now you could have a communications calendar you actually trust. It's free, and it starts today.
