The Storytelling & Communication Pillar emerges from our conviction that faithful storytelling is itself a ministry—one that weaves together identity, mission, and witness so the whole Church may see, hear, and be moved by God’s transforming work.
The Storytelling & Communication Pillar emerges from our conviction that faithful storytelling is itself a ministry—one that weaves together identity, mission, and witness so the whole Church may see, hear, and be moved by God’s transforming work. Throughout the discernment process, individuals have engaged in deep listening and heard the call to embody a shared story—clearly communicated through our vision, mission, and proclamation, and boldly expressed in a logo that visually proclaims who God is calling us to be as the Church in the world today.
Missional storytelling is not simply about branding or promotion; it is about discipleship and witness. It is about lifting up stories that reveal God’s justice, Christ’s love, and the Spirit’s renewing power. By doing this work intentionally, the Synod models for presbyteries, congregations, and communities how faithful communication can nurture belonging, inspire action, and call people into deeper participation in God’s mission.
The Synod Communication Specialist and a committee of five at-large members will guide work for the Storytelling & Communication Pillar, which will focus on two central commitments. First, it will communicate the Synod’s identity—ensuring that we consistently and compellingly share our vision, mission, logo, and proclamation so that all may be aware, inspired, and engaged. Second, it will build vibrant and accessible platforms that embody welcome and connection, including a redesigned website, a more interactive newsletter, digital resource hub, and tangible expressions that reinforce the Synod’s common life.
The Matthew 25 inITIATIVE focuses on Matthew 25: 31-46, the parable of the sheep and goats in which Jesus makes clear, that what we do matters to God and how we treat others is important to God.
