Outreach Posters provides churches with large-scale posters that are displayed in a professionally-constructed frame outside the church. Each month a new poster is provided, along with additional resources to help your church use the poster to engage with your local community. These resources include notes (that can be used in church bulletins or local newspapers), videos, and mission resources.

Over 120 churches around Australia subscribe to Outreach Posters - why don’t you explore how Outreach Posters can help your church connect with your community in 2009.

Based on the popular and effective course by Dominic Steele, use this book as a basis for follow-up discussion and relationship building. Each chapter connects relationally with stories of people who have come into a relationship with God. The style of writing and the personal stories is specifically aimed to engage with 21st century people. And giving someone a book is very non-confronting.

Recommended by: Phillip Jensen, Neil Atwood, David Wayne, David Miers, Angela Crittle, David McKay and Mike Raiter.

The way we present ourselves visually in corporate communications, letterheads, business cards, signage and marketing and advertising, contributes to building a unique
identity for Connect09.

By understanding the elements of the Connect09 brand identity contained in these guidelines and applying them consistently, we will all be contributing to building a stronger recognition and recall of Connect09.

While our people, our actions and our results will shape perceptions and give personality to Connect 09, our unity of purpose will be visually enhanced, by careful maintenance and consistent use of the corporate guideline.

We all share in the responsibility for implementing these standards. Consistency in following the guidelines is important in building a unified corporate approach to Connect09.

Below is everything you need to use the Connect09 branding in a way consistent with the rest of this evangelistic initiative.
