Our Mission
Proclaiming
the love, hope, and caring of the Christian faith as it
applies to daily encounters for the people of
Appalachia and
the world through a positive voice in the
media.
Imagine you are
at the office, and you could go home, or you could stay a
few more hours and finish up this project--the boss would
sure be happy, but then your mind replays something you
heard this morning on the radio in the car on the way to
work. "What is important to you? Chances are,
it's the people you love and the people who love
you." You decide at that moment that work can wait,
and it would be great to play ball with the kids before it
gets dark.
These and similar messages are produced by the Presbyterian
Council for Media (PCM), a unique ministry of the
church. It is not only a ministry of evangelism
spreading the hope and good news of Jesus Christ, but it is
also a ministry of mission, and a growing media resource
for the local church.
Though PCM focuses heavily on the people of Appalachia, our
goal is to bring “a word of hope” to a hopeless
world. PCM creates and produces radio public service
announcements that proclaim the love, hope, and care of the
Christian faith as it applies to daily encounters.
These spots are then distributed to over 1,300 radio
station and all of the presbyteries and synod of the
Appalachian area. And now, PCM can serve "the world"
through the availability of downloadable MP3s on this
website. These are free to radio stations to use to
share with their listeners.
Along with being a resource for outreach and evangelism,
PCM is evolving into a resource for the local church in its
use of media from outreach to internal communications to
the effective and appropriate use of multimedia in the
worship experience. The links to the right will take you to
specific areas of the site that we pray you will find
helpful in your own ministry.
