How to Make a Welcoming Brochure for a Church

Brochures are usually created for one of two reasons: as a promotional tool to market services and products or as an informational piece to notify people about news and events.
A welcoming brochure is a good way to make your church known to the public. A well-designed one will appeal to prospective members by providing information about the church and its programs.

Things You'll Need

• A word processing program
• Printer
• Photos

Instructions

1. Choose a layout for your brochure. Most brochures use a landscape layout. In Microsoft Word, go to "File," "Page Setup," "Orientation" and then choose "Paper Size" and "Landscape."

2. Create columns in the word file. Under "Format," choose "Columns" and then the number of columns you desire, such as "Three." This will give you the first page of a six-panel brochure.

3. Create the second page of the brochure. Under "Insert," click "Break," then choose "Page Break."

4. Now it's time to add text to your columns. Use no more than two font styles in your brochure for optimal presentation. Since it's a welcoming brochure, include a welcoming message on the front and place your church's contact info.

5. Include information about your church such as service times, programs offered and other things you feel are necessary. Add photos of your church or events to make the brochure interesting.

6. Make sure the brochure looks the way you want and then print out the brochures. Now you're ready to distribute them to visitors of your church.
