The Club — Hosted by Christen Kinard & Jaime Cowan

You don't have to do this alone

A monthly meetup for anyone doing the work of communications in a church or nonprofit setting.

The Church and Nonprofit Communicators Club is a free monthly meetup for anyone who handles communications. This may be your full role. It may be one part of your job. It may be something you inherited along the way.

This work can feel isolating. It can feel unclear. It can feel overwhelming at times. It does not have to stay that way.

The Communicators Club creates space to share ideas and talk through challenges. It offers a chance to learn from others doing similar work in a setting that is welcoming and informal.

How It Works

Who it's for

Anyone doing communication work for a church or nonprofit—regardless of size, budget, or job title

When we meet

First Wednesday of each month at 12:30 p.m. Eastern / 11:30 a.m. Central

Where we meet

Zoom (email Christen for the link)

Cost

Free

Format

A one-hour, informal conversation centered around a monthly theme. No script. No slides. Just real people sharing ideas, asking questions, and offering support.

Each month’s session centers on a loose theme. This gives the conversation direction while leaving room for participation.

Participants are invited to share recent work or reflect on what they are noticing. Others may choose to listen and learn.

Hosted by Christen Kinard of Digital Congregations and Jaime Cowan of First Presbyterian Church in Georgetown, TX.
