Brand Guidelines: Anderson, SC

A guide to using the ARC brand across all communications to deliver a consistent and clear message.

Thank you so much for opening up your church home with us! It is such a blessing to gather together with pastors, leaders, and ARC Family in the area. We do not take this time for granted. We know how important it is to connect and build relationships with one another. We pray the impact from this day continues to bear fruit in churches and communities throughout your region. Thank you to you and your team for hosting us. It’s an honor to serve alongside you.

We’ve prepared some information to help you prepare for your event.

Stewardship & Strategy

This resource will serve as a guide to maintain a cohesive branding strategy across all aspects of ARC’s communications. The ARC Creative & Communications Team will provide strategic assistance on any branding applications that are unclear to you. We’re here to help, and we are passionate about our brand.

While perceptions can differ from person to person, the consistent application of a cohesive branding strategy is crucial to supporting the message we carry. Our brand is a tool and, when used correctly and consistently, it ensures that every touch point reinforces the understanding of our message.

Don’t Do Ministry Alone

We need relationships to thrive. You need other people in your corner, who have gone through similar things that you’ve gone through, and believe in your dream. ARC provides opportunities for you to build relationships with others in ministry that will support and strengthen you in what God has called you to do.
