  5. 300 dpi (under horizontal and vertical resolution) is best... HINT: Facebook photos are only 72 dpi, which means the resolution is MUCH lower than ideal.

You’ll want to find 15-20 high-quality photos that include:

  • A picture for the cover of your presentation album. This is usually a general picture that represents your location (a famous spot on campus, in your city, etc.)


  • A picture of you (and your family)

  • Pictures that illustrate the ministry (people you minister with, physical locations you minister at, etc.)

  • Pictures of people (individuals and groups) you’ve ministered to that help illustrate the needs of your ministry location

  • Other pictures that help illustrate the needs of your ministry location, including photos of your ministry location (photos of a college campus, for example).  You can potentially find specific photos used by others in your same ministry location in the Reliant google templates specific church ministry templates.
