Communications

Communication is the key to life. And our communication department is here to help build bridges of hope and better communication with internal and external audiences.

We create and distribute publications like the IntraSyd news magazine, Sydney Adventist e-Newsletter, the Sydney Adventist Calendar, videos (including commercials!), social media and other resources. Read on for more information about the items we produce and how we can collaborate.

We’re also here to help Sydney Adventist churches start and improve their own communication and marketing initiatives, including branding and signage that reflects each individual congregation and website creation and development—no marketing gurus or tech-savvy webmasters required.

Beyond reaching the Adventist community, we are here to help churches reach the Greater Sydney community, whether that is strengthening reach or improving visibility in the suburb, language or cultural community.

Branding & Church Websites

The South Pacific Division of the Seventh-day Adventist Church provides a rulebook containing specifications on everything that plays a role in the look and feel of our church brand. These guidelines describe the core elements and principles of our identity system.
