As Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church has grown spiritually and physically, so have the needs for printed and electronic materials and communications. In 1997, what began as a one person Print Shop printing the weekly church bulletin has now, just five years later, developed into a full blown Publications and Marketing Department.

The mission of the Hopewell Publications and Marketing Department is to design, print and market the vision to “Fulfill the Great Commission” and forward the God-given vision of Pastor William L. Sheals for Hopewell Baptist Church and its entities in print, television, radio, products, event marketing and coordination. The entities of Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church include the City of Hope Community Development Corporation, Hopewell Christian Academy, the City of Hope Christianomics Mall & Training Center, the City of Hope Child Development Center and the City of Hope Career Training and Resource Center, as well as Preparing for the Mission Ministries, Pastor Sheals’ personal ministry.

In addition to supporting the sixty plus ministries, the Publications and Marketing Department makes services available to Hopewell members, including business cards, flyers etc.

In addition to working with each individual ministry, PMD produces the weekly Sunday bulletin. The purpose of the bulletin is to notify the congregation of ministry and church business. Ministries desiring to have events announced in the Sunday bulletin should complete the Bulletin Information Form. A weekly deadline of Tuesday morning at 10 am has been established and must be strictly adhered to. Information received after this deadline will be placed on a space available basis.

Maintenance and upkeep of Hopewell’s web site is also the responsibility of PMD. In order for our web site to be useful, ministries are requested to submit updated information and upcoming events to us as soon as possible.
