Communication
The Kirk is blessed to have among its members a number of writers, artists and photographers who volunteer their time and talent to keep the community informed about what's going on at the church. These talented folks send ads, press releases, articles and photographs to the local newspapers, The Village Voice and Hot Springs Sentinel Record, as well as setting policy and writing articles for Kirk publications, designing posters and other publicity materials and creating displays for the church's bulletin boards.

The Website Committee, a subcommittee comprised of members of the communication and administration committees, directs and oversees the Kirk's website.
