For ministry events, registration/event forms will generally be created by staff as part of the event planning and communication process. If you would like an exception to this process, please contact staff in advance to discuss how registration information will be collected, managed, and shared.

Form creation requires a two week lead time. 

• Communications sent through our database to all members and attenders is reserved for official church business.
• We are now collecting registration information for event participants through our registration system. As attendance lists are built over time, ministries will have the opportunity to send invitation emails to previous event attendees through our system.
• We do not (at this time) have individual mailing lists that are separated by campus, gender, or age.

• There is a location at each campus for Calvary Church ministry printed materials to be shared. At the Roseville Campus it is between the bathrooms upstairs at White Bear it is the Connect Center.

• How to take great photos: fill the frame, get high or low, step closer (don’t zoom), use landscape (not portrait), check the background for distractions or clutter, focus on 1-4 subjects (not a large group), and send photos via email (text downloads the quality).

• The spotlight table can be requested in the lobby to highlight any ministry, special event, mission trip, activity, or sign up.
• The ministry/volunteer is responsible for providing the volunteers and/or staff to host the table at each campus before, after, and between services. 
• Spotlight table requests are prioritized based on the overall church vision, mission, and discipleship pathway alignment, not on who requests it first.

We live in a video-saturated culture and communicating via video is an absolute necessity and essential tool. That being said, it must be used effectively and in an engaging manner. At Calvary, we want to create a process to ensure that when leveraging video (like anything else we do) it is carefully planned and used strategically.

• Videos may be requested for any ministry that involves 80% or more of our congregation.
• Fill out the Calvary Church Video Production Form and plan for a minimum of eight weeks for production time to go through the five phases of production: development, pre-production, shoot, editing, and distribution. Completed forms are submitted to SUZIE KATUSKY. 
• If you have a video created by an outside group, it must be evaluated and approved by Worship Arts before it can be shown in a service or used online. In service videos need to apply to 80% or more of the congregation. This approval process takes a minimum of two weeks.
