Web Advertising & Flyers

Any requests for web pages, web advertisments, or flyers for ads on the front page of the website should be sent to itteam @ newbethelchurch.com with the date(s) you would like it to be displayed. This type of request should be submitted at least 2 months in advance. The goal is to advertise events on the website at least month ahead of the event, so we can ensure each event is professionally and well represented.

There may be exceptions to the 2 month rule due to the nature of the task and resources available.
