Few resources exist that are fully devoted to the needs of church secretaries. That’s what makes Church Secretary Today so valuable. It combines professional training, practical help, and personal support into one comprehensive program for the unbeatable price of only $24.95 per year.

What makes Church Secretary Today unique is the combination of a traditional professional newsletter that is mailed monthly with the power of an online resource center. What makes the value unprecedented is that for the price of the newsletter, you receive every additional resource in the Center for FREE! Plus, every staff member can access the online resources at no additional charge!

Here's what you'll receive.

1. Church Secretary Today newsletter. Published and mailed monthly, Church Secretary Today infuses new ideas into the church office. Each issue addresses the unique needs that face church secretaries.

Each issue is alive with information.

Each week you'll find a new continuing education lesson to improve your writing skills. Each lesson takes about 5 minutes to complete, and includes an online exercise with immediate diagnostic feedback. It's a great way to grow in your knowledge and skills.
   
   
5. Weekly Interactive Case Study. One of the best ways for a church secretary to grow professionally is through interaction with and feedback from other church secretaries. Each week we provide a guided case study that enables church secretaries to share with one another as to how they would respond to a specific situation. Comments are posted on the case study discussion board. The case study method is a powerful learning tool, and gives the subscribers of Church Secretary Today an unprecedented learning opportunity that involves no additional cost or travel.
   
   
6. Bible Puzzles for Church Publications and Classes. Our biblical crossword and word search puzzles are a great way to enhance your church newsletter, and help people learn more about the Bible. People love them. They can be used in a variety of church publications, as a special insert, or as a supplement to a Sunday School class. Once you try them, you'll find many uses. New puzzles are available monthly.
   
   
7. Classic Christian Quotations. Our Classic Christian Quotations library is the perfect solution to find a unique or specific quote, or simply to fill in space for a church newsletter or bulletin. The library contains hundreds of quotes from Christian leaders throughout the centuries. Our powerful search engine enables you to find the quote you need. You can search by author, key word, theme, or by how much space you need to fill in. Pastors also find the library a wonderful resource for sermons and articles.
   
   
8. Church Secretary Discussion Board. As a subscriber to Church Secretary Today, you'll have access to our password protected Discussion Board, exclusively for the use of church secretaries. The Discussion Board is the meeting place for church secretaries from across the United States. It's the one place you can share your thoughts, comments, and questions with other church secretaries, and become part of a larger, professional community dedicated to serving the church.
   
   
9. Gustave Dore Biblical Art. Perhaps the most celebrated biblical illustrator of all time, Gustave Dore's etchings are beautiful works of art. The Online Resource Center provides an extensive collection of both his Old Testament and New Testament etchings, which are perfect for bulletin covers and special publications.
   
   
10. Bulletin Bloopers. Life is better when we can laugh at ourselves. Each day we publish a blooper from a church publication. While bloopers add a touch of humor, we can also learn from them (and get a laugh at the same time). As a subscriber to Church Secretary Today, you'll be able to use the bloopers to add a bit of humor to your own church publications.
    
    
11. Additional Resources. The Church Secretary Today Online Resource Center provides helpful links to make your job more easy. We continuously monitor the Internet for sites that can help you become more effective in your service to the church. We search and evaluate each site, then pass that information on to you so that you can save time and effort.
