Creative & Communications

Baptism Scheduling

If you have an attendee who is asking about being baptized, you can direct them to the Baptism page on our website, where they can submit a baptism interest form. Once an interest form response has been received, the requestor is provided with a list of designated staff to contact based on their life stage and then a Baptism Meeting is scheduled with the appropriate staff. The Baptism Scheduling Request form is to be completed by a Casas Church pastor/director/leader, on behalf of a baptism candidate, in conjunction with baptism counseling. Once a request has been submitted, direct follow-up questions to Jessica Miller.

The following staff has been designated to facilitate baptism meetings and complete the scheduling request on behalf of our requesting congregation:

Graphics Requests

Ministry areas will have access to Church Media Squad and the ability to request and design their graphics based on need. If you need to be added to Church Media Squad as a user or have not received training on request submissions, please contact Jenny Kempf. 
The Creative Team will oversee the development and implementation of all Church-wide event graphics, sermon series graphics, and other church-wide graphics as needed. The development time frame should ideally be two weeks before the beginning of the promotion. 

In-Service Host/Vision Spots

The Communications Director is always looking for those interested in acting as “host” on Sunday mornings on platform. Please reach out to the Communications Director if you’re interested in taking part in Sunday mornings or you know of someone who would be excellent at it. If you have something that needs to be communicated during this/these moments in service please contact Communications Director three weeks in advance of the communication need. Once again, communication needs are not always known that far in advance and the Communications Director will accommodate those needs whenever possible. 

Mission Story Collection

With the upcoming mission launch Creative is looking for stories to further drive home the meaning of the three missional words: Accepted, Loved, and Free. Don't hesitate to share any stories that have significantly resonated with you lately because we are not wanting to put particular emphasis on one word or another. We are open to any and all stories. We are building a database of stories that we can reference whenever we are creatively planning a service. When you have a story in mind, please email videoproduction@casaschurch.org. In the email, if you could include the person(s) Name & contact info and we will handle the rest! Even the smallest stories can have the biggest impact!
