Communication & Public Relations

Communicating Christ’s message of love, forgiveness and redemption is the purpose of the Communication Department.

We seek to foster a culture of reliability, transparency, and creativity by reinforcing existing communication channels and enterprises as well as establishing new initiatives.

Not only do we strive to communicate the latest happenings of the Adventist Church in Texas through all of our current channels, but also motivate Texas churches to effectively connect with their communities through training and tools.

Under our scope of responsibilities we have public relations, the production of The FLAME, audio and visual coordination for events, and online tools such as the website and social media channels.

Ultimately, the Communication Department facilitates ministry. We work together with churches, schools, leaders, and members to share stories that impact, inspire, and connect our churches members and communities.

Public Relations / General Media Inquiries:  Phone: (817) 790.2255 ext. 2134; email:  communication@txsda.org
