You don’t have to figure this out alone

Move from Publisher to Affinity—with confidence.

Straightforward, practical training created for church bulletin editors—not graphic designers. We’ll help you learn what you need, one clear step at a time.

  • Beginner friendly
  • Bulletin-focused
  • Repeat attendance welcome

Good questions are welcome

Frequently asked questions

Still unsure where to begin? Start with Monday’s “Affinity Install Only” and “Affinity Bulletin Settings” classes.

Do I need graphic design experience?

Not at all. The training is made for bulletin editors and focuses only on the practical skills you need for weekly work.

Which session should I attend first?

New to Affinity? Start with Affinity Install Only on Monday, September 28 at 9:30 AM, followed by Affinity Bulletin Settings at 1:00 PM Eastern. Take these classes before Microsoft Publisher sunsets on October 1. If you miss Monday’s classes, a combined 90-minute Install and Setup session is available on Thursday, October 1.

Can I attend a session more than once?

Attend as often as you like. You’re welcome to repeat a live session, bring new questions, or watch a recording when it’s available.

Are classes recorded?

Yes. Available recordings will be added to the learning library after the live sessions.

Can I use my existing Publisher bulletin?

Your Publisher file will not open directly in Affinity. We will show you a reliable process for rebuilding it, reusing your text and images, and creating a better weekly starting point.
