Communications
We live in a fast moving world of instant and in-your-face communication and as we want to connect with people. So get the mission message across we need to use whatever means are available. Printed mailings and displays, email, AV in services and circulation areas, SBC website, Facebook, blogging, special events for prayer and engagement with live issues, and so on.
We are coordinating our communication with that of SBC generally and are looking for a communications manager. The SBC website is now under reconstruction and mission prominently will be prominently included.
ECLECTRIX
Eclectrix are a folk/gospel band based in Seaford Baptist Church. They perform in many different venues and events and have a strong Christian content in their repertoire. For latest information about their schedule please go to their Facebook page.
