Pastors, the World Church needs photos of your congregation’s meeting place!  They are building the new find-a-congregation directory that will be part of a redesigned Community of Christ website (coming soon). The directory will include a photo of your location/church building along with the congregation information. Submissions need to be sharp, high-resolution photos, framed as a landscape (horizontal) with sky and ground showing. This will allow for any necessary cropping. E-mail photos to webteam@CofChrist.net along with your congregation’s name, address, mission center, and pastor name(s).
