The Franklin Road Church of Christ youth group consists of youth of all ages. The group is divided into three subgroups: Tots for Christ (TFC), Kids for Christ (KFC), and the Senior Youth Group (SYG). In particular, for this essay I will be explaining how the Senior Youth Group is a discourse community. Franklin Road’s SYG consists of the ages 11-18. Within the group we do various things such as going to youth retreats, youth conferences, and many more; just to name a few. The group has been around for many years, all the way back to when my parents were kids. I have been a member of SYG ever since I was a baby; therefore I have enough knowledge about how this group in fact is a discourse community according to John Swales six criteria.

Westside Baptist Church has been blessed to serve our community under the direction of Pastor Dale Ingersoll for the past twenty-seven years. After many years of faithful service, Pastor Dale had made the decision to retire from ministry and notified the church of his decision in December 2014.

The capacity of speeches can be seen through its impact on human emotions and its capability to change the thought patterns of its audience. This is

This analysis will look at the Young Woman’s Christian Association (YWCA) in order to understand the organizations effective communication strategies with its audience. This is important because the organizations goals are aimed at helping empower woman and eliminate racism around the world. However, to do that the information must be truthful, authentic, and helpful to the people it is trying to impact. In my research, I looked at the YWCA’s focus on domestic violence and homelessness. Their role is to empower both genders to break the cycle of domestic violence and homelessness while also achieving self-sufficiency (YWCA of San Diego, 2016). They try and do this through many programs and services that allow individuals and families to recover from trauma, improve their economic status, and secure a permanent residence (YWCA of San Diego, 2016). The YWCA’s purpose is to inform, persuade, and aid its audience out of abusive relationships while also helping woman all over the world fight for their rights. The analysis of this organization movement towards fighting domestic violence and homelessness will be based off Bitzer’s model, TARES test, narratives and argument, visual rhetoric, symmetrical and asymmetrical communication forms, as well as, ways to improve the organizations rhetoric.

Effective communication skills are crucial to my success in both my personal and professional life and this course has helped me tremendously of becoming a more confident speaker. I’ve learned various communication techniques such as listening, active listening, verbal and nonverbal skills to connect with audiences once I speak in front of a large group of people.

be establish their knowledge about the subject they are trying to persuade the audience to believing. Aristotle sums it up best by saying “This kind of persuasion, like the others, should be achieved by what the speaker says, not by what people think of this character before he begins to speak” (Aristotle 25). What makes an audience see a speaker credible is when the play to the emotions of the audience. When an audience is able to relate to what the speaker is saying whether it be something personal to them or they know someone it pertains to it gives the audience the sense that the speaker is knowledgeable and understanding. Thus, making the speaker seem credible. All of these factors used together can contribute to the speaker being successful

We as people understand the bare minimum of persuasion, but we generally do not know the different types or ways of persuasion or the science and research behind why we are persuaded by different things. I will be able to use what I have learned from this course in my academic and professional endeavors. I find the suggestions, tips, and practice of public speaking/presenting to be invaluable to anyone. I will surely use what I learned from that and practice it in hopes to become a better public speaker. In addition to public speaking, I will be able to use the tools of persuasion. Not everyone can be persuaded the same way and not all information can be presented the same way in attempts to persuade an audience. We are taught these tools that help layout the different ways to persuade someone(s). So, Communication 2367 has taught me how complex persuasion is and given me invaluable tools to excel in any future

As a student in a communication class, I feel that many of my classmates are not prepared to present a speech. However, we are all in this together and we will learn from our mistakes and try to convey a message to our classmates.

Greater Sweet Home Missionary Baptist Church started as a mission doing the work of the Lord in 1969. We toiled tirelessly, and in 1970, we felt the call to organize into a church. A meeting was called, and the motion to organize the church and to elect Reverend Andrew Kelly as Pastor was established. Pastor Lloyd Johnson of New Third Heaven M.B. Church and Pastor J.P. Gordon of New St. Matthew M.B. Church proceeded to assist in the organization of the church.

According to the records in 1912, “There was Difficulty within the church that caused a division within Mount Calvary Baptist Church, reluctance to move the church to a different location. It is believed by many that some of these members are founding fathers of some of the other churches in the area but we have no written proof of this as a fact. It is not apparent why Rev. Turner left in 1929, but God dispatched E.W. Williams to direct the Church.

Jim Lynn teaches what is in his book. He has a teaching ministry of healing to the local church. In this section he believes that church-sponsored healing ministries would revolutionize the view that the world has of the church. He states that “we are quick to dismiss healing that involves faith because our culture has no place for the active presence of God operating in our physical world. The same goes for Satan being the cause of suffering – the world rejects it, science demands it, and our culture embraces it.” (p. 218) The cares of this world have crowded out the seed of faith in healing leaving only the secular medical community as the place to go. We, as the church, offer nothing more than any other charitable humanitarian organization,

My call to ministry was actually not my own doing. At the start of my Christian life, my mother and grandmother raised me in the church where I would sacrifice my life to be a part of ministry. I participate in different ministries as a child. I became a choir member at an early age. Then, I became a praise dancer, a junior deacon, and a Sunday school teacher. This transition to different ministries became a part of my true purpose for God: to fulfill His purpose in my life.
