Upcoming Workshops
Each month, we host four online workshops designed to spark ideas, build community, and support your work in ministry. You’ll find one Expert-Led Workshop and three roundtable-style gatherings: the Administrators’ Virtual Café, Church Collaboration Meetings, and the Realm User Group. We also host a quarterly Caffeinated Church Gathering—a full-day, hands-on training focused on creative skills like design, marketing, and web development.

Year-End Communication Breakdowns & Breakthroughs
Thursday, November 6 | 10:00 AM PT / 11:00 AM MT / 12:00 PM CT / 1:00 PM ET
As the calendar year winds down, church administrators and communicators have no shortage of stories. In this Admin Café, we’ll share both the challenges and the wins of church communication in 2025. Bring your stories, your lessons learned, and your “I can’t believe we pulled that off” moments. Together we’ll celebrate what worked, laugh about what didn’t, and gather fresh ideas to carry into the new year.Facilitated by Ashley Graham-Wilcox, Church Communications Consultant

So, You Think You Want To Be A Televangelist?: Finding New Life in an Old Medium
Thursday, November 13 | 10:30 AM PT / 11:30 AM MT / 12:30 PM CT / 1:30 PM ET
“So, you think you want to be a televangelist?”
Said no one ever!
But, there is an audience in your area that isn’t online, doesn’t do social media and could care less about your content calendar. So how can you reach them through digital means? Television might just be an option for you too!
WNY Church Unleashed (churchunleashedtv.com) was born at the start of COVID but has become a stand-alone church community, with 1,000-2,000 homes watching each week, that has led to baptisms, weddings, funerals and community food drives in the Western New York and southern Ontario area.
Join Steve Biegner, one of the founding pastors, to hear more of the Church Unleashed story and consider if TV ministry could be a “new” addition to your digital offerings. Television certainly isn’t a cutting-edge technology, but it is a ripe mission field in need of more messages of hope for the world.

How to Share What God Is Doing in Your Community
Thursday, December 11 | 10:00 AM PT / 11:00 AM MT / 12:00 PM CT / 1:00 PM ET
Every church and ministry has a story worth telling—because God is at work among us. In this workshop, we’ll explore how to identify and share those stories in ways that connect, inspire, and reflect your mission. You’ll learn how to find stories in everyday moments, how to gather and write with heart, and how to share across platforms like newsletters, websites, and social media. Participants will leave with practical tools to help their communities see and celebrate God’s work in their midst.
This workshop is led by Canon Mike Orr, Canon for Communications in the Episcopal Church in Colorado.

Keeping Balanced During Advent & Christmas
Tuesday, December 2 | 10:00 AM PT / 11:00 AM MT / 12:00 PM CT / 1:00 PM ET
The Advent and Christmas seasons can be full of beauty—and also full of demands. This session will explore practical ways church leaders and communicators can stay grounded and intentional during this busy time of year. Together, we’ll share strategies for managing expectations, setting boundaries, and finding moments of joy and rest amid the hustle. You’ll leave with tools and ideas to help you approach the season with clarity, creativity, and a deeper sense of connection to the heart of the holidays.
Facilitated by Mike Orr, Canon for Communications & Evangelism for the Episcopal Church in Colorado
