BACKGROUND
For all other style issues, refer to
the AP Stylebook. The Christian
Writer’s Manual of Style and The
Little Style Guide to Great Christian
Writing and Publishing should
be used to address religious or
Christian terminology.
This style guide is to be used for all
First Baptist Church of Glenarden
publications (i.e., Sunday
bulletins, newsletters, magazines,
posters, etc.). Please note that
this document provides a quick
reference to address some of the
most commonly used terminology
and mistakes. This guide is broken
into three categories: grammar,
punctuation and style.
3
Grammar
Abbreviations and Acronyms
In general, avoid alphabet soup. Do not use
abbreviations or acronyms that the reader would
not quickly recognize.
BEFORE A NAME: Abbreviate titles used before a full
name (Dr., Gov., Lt. Gov., Sen.).
*Exception: Write out church titles Deacon,
Deaconess, Minister and Reverend.
(NOT Dea., Dcn., Min. or Rev.)
AFTER A NAME: Abbreviate junior or senior after
an individual’s name: Pastor John K. Jenkins Sr.
(Note: no comma). Abbreviate company, corporation,
incorporated and limited when used after the name of
a corporate entity.
4
In some cases, an academic degree may be
abbreviated after an individual’s name. Use such
abbreviations as B.A., M.A., LL.D., Ph.D., D.Div., Th.D.
and M.Div only after a full name — never just a last
name.
SECOND REFERENCE: Do NOT follow an
organization’s full name with an abbreviation or
acronym in parentheses or set off by dashes. If an
abbreviation or acronym is not clear on second
reference without this arrangement do not use it:
First Baptist Church of Glenarden; NOT First Baptist
Church of Glenarden (FBCG).
Capitalization
In general, avoid unnecessary capitalization. Use a capital letter
only if you can justify it by one of the principles listed here.
PROPER NOUNS: Capitalize nouns that constitute the unique
identification for a specific person, place or thing: John, Mary,
America, Annapolis, England, Church Development Symposium.
PROPER NAMES: Capitalize common names such as ministry,
party, river, street and west when they are an integral part of
the full name for a person, place or thing: Democratic Party,
Potomac River, Fleet Street, West Virginia, Dorcas Ministry.
Lowercase these common nouns when they stand alone in
subsequent references: the party, the river, the street, the
ministry.
Lowercase the common noun elements of names in all plural
uses: Agape and Dorcas ministries, Worship and Ministry centers,
the Democratic and Republican parties, Main and State streets,
lakes Erie and Ontario.
COMPOSITION TITLES: Apply the guidelines listed here to the
titles of books, computer games, movies, operas, plays, poems,
albums & songs, radio & television programs, speeches & works
of art.
-Captialize the principal words, including prepositions and
conjunctions of four or more letters: “The Catcher and the Rye,”
“Gone With the Wind.”
-Capitalize an article – the, a, an – or words of fewer than four
letters if it is the first or last word in a title.
-Put quotation marks around the names of all such works
except the Bible and books that are primarily catalogs of
reference material. In addition to catalogs, this category also
includes almanacs, directories, dictionaries, encyclopedias,
handbooks and similar publications.
DERIVATIVES: Capitalize words that are derived from
a proper noun and still depend on it for their meaning:
American, Christian, Christianity, English, French, Marxism,
Shakespearean.
5
TITLES: Capitalize formal titles when used immediately
before a name. Lowercase formal titles when used alone or in
constructions that set them off from a name by commas. Pastor
John K. Jenkins Sr.; Church Administrator Stanley Featherstone;
John K. Jenkins Sr., the pastor; Stanley Featherstone, the church
administrator; Reverend Dr. Johnny Parker; Elder Frank Walton,
chairman of the Deacon Ministry; William Gentry, deacon; Julius
Brown, president of the Good Samaritan Ministry; Vivian Leigh,
secretary of the Star Ministry; Secretary Vivian Leigh, Star
Ministry; President Julius Brown, Good Samaritan Ministry.
Punctuation
Apostrophe (’) (Plurals, Possessives)
Plurals
FIGURES: Add s (no apostrophe): The custom began in the 1920s.
The airline has 727s. Temperatures will be in the low 20s. There
were five size 7s. ‘90s NOT ‘90’s; 1990s NOT 1990’s
6
SINGLE LETTERS: Use ’s: Mind your p’s and q’s. He learned the
three R’s and brought home a report card with four A’s and two
B’s. The Oakland A’s won the pennant.
MULTIPLE LETTERS: Add s: She knows her ABCs. I gave him
five IOUs. Four VIPs were there.
Possessives
PLURAL NOUNS NOT ENDING IN S: Add ’s: the alumni’s
contributions, men and women’s joint fellowship, women’s rights.
PLURAL NOUNS ENDING IN S: Add only an apostrophe: the
churches’ needs, the girls’ toys, the horses’ food, the ships’ wake,
states’ rights, the VIPs’ entrance.
NOUNS PLURAL IN FORM, SINGULAR IN MEANING: Add only
an apostrophe: mathematics’ rules, measles’ effects.
Apply the same principle when a plural word occurs in the formal
name of a singular entity: General Motors’ profits, the United
States’ wealth, Cub & Tiger Scouts’ troop, Life Builders’ meeting,
Prosperity Partners’ training, Global Missions’ outreach, Senior
Ushers’ fellowship.
NOUNS THE SAME IN SINGULAR AND PLURAL: Treat them
the same as plurals, even if the meaning is singular: one corps’
location, the two deer’s tracks, the lone moose’s antlers.
SINGULAR NOUNS NOT ENDING IN S: Add ’s: the church’s
needs, the girl’s toys, the horse’s food, the ship’s route, the VIP’s
seat.
SINGULAR COMMON NOUNS ENDING IN S: Add ’s unless the
next word begins with s: the hostess’s invitation, the hostess’
seat; the witness’s answer, the witness’ story.
SINGULAR PROPER NAMES ENDING IN S: Use only an
apostrophe: Jesus’ life, Pastor Jenkins’ sermons, Moses’ law,
Achilles’ heel, Agnes’ book, Dickens’ novels, Kansas’ schools,
Socrates’ life, Tennessee Williams’ plays, Xerxes’ armies.
JOINT POSSESSION, INDIVIDUAL POSSESSION: Use a
possessive form after only the last word if ownership is joint: Fred
and Sylvia’s home, Fred and Sylvia’s ministry , GMCHC & FBCG’s
joint revival.
DESCRIPTIVE PHRASES: Do not add an apostrophe to a word
ending in s when it is used primarily in a descriptive sense:
a writers guide, a Washington Redskins jersey, the Wizards
playbook.
An ’s is required, however, when a term involves a plural word
that does not end in s: the Women’s Ministry, the Men’s Ministry,
the Children’s Institute, the Children’s Ministry.
SPECIAL EXPRESSIONS: The following exceptions to the
general rule for words not ending in s apply to words that end
in an s sound and are followed by a word that begins with s: for
appearance’ sake, for conscience’ sake, for goodness’ sake. Use ’s
otherwise: the appearance’s cost, my conscience’s voice.
7
Comma (,)
The following guidelines treat some of the most frequently
asked questions about the use of commas.
IN A SERIES: Use commas to separate elements in a series, but
do not put a comma before the conjunction in a simple series:
The flag is red, white and blue. He would nominate Tom, Dick or
Harry. At the church picnic, we had hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken
and an array of side dishes.
Put a comma before the concluding conjunction in a series,
however, if an integral element of the series requires a
conjunction: I had orange juice, toast, and ham and eggs for
breakfast.
Use a comma also before the concluding conjunction in a
complex series of phrases: The main points to consider are
whether the ministries are engaged in outreach, whether their
members are participating, and whether they are of benefit to the
community.
WITH INTRODUCTORY CLAUSES AND PHRASES: A comma is
used to separate an introductory clause or phrase from the main
clause: When it became too hard to find a seat at the
10 a.m. service, he switched to the noon service.
The comma may be omitted after short introductory phrases if no
ambiguity would result: During the night he heard many noises.
8
BEFORE ATTRIBUTION: Use a comma instead of a period at the
end of a quote that is followed by attribution: “I read the
Bible every night before going to sleep,” Tina Cawley
said.
Do not use a comma, however, if the quoted
statement ends with a question mark or exclamation
point: “Why should I?” he asked.
NAMES OF STATES AND NATIONS USED WITH CITY
NAMES: The missions team will travel from Trelawny,
Jamaica, to Miami, Fla., and then to Washington, D.C.
The Selma, Ala., group saw the governor.
WITH YES AND NO: Yes, I will attend the ministry outreach.
PLACEMENT WITH QUOTES: Commas always go inside
quotation marks: “The church’s annual picnic will be held at
Watkins Park on July 25,” said Betty Riley.
WITH FULL DATES: When a phrase refers to a month, day
and year, set off the year with a comma: More than 20 people
responded to the altar call on Jan. 31, 2012, during Bible study.
Dash (–)
Follow these guidelines:
ABRUPT CHANGE: Use dashes to denote an abrupt change in
thought in a sentence or an emphatic pause: We will fly to Paris
in June — if I get a raise. Smith offered a plan — it was unprecedented — to raise awareness.
ATTRIBUTION: Use a dash before an author’s or composer’s
name at the end of a quotation: “Who steals my purse steals
trash.” — Shakespeare.
IN LISTS: Dashes should be used to introduce individual
sections of a list. Capitalize the first word following the dash. Use
periods, not semicolons, at the end of each section, whether it is
a full sentence or a phrase. Example:
Jones gave the following reasons:
— He never ordered the package.
— If he did, it didn’t come.
— If it did, he sent it back.
WITH SPACES: Put a space on both sides of a dash in all uses
except the start of a paragraph.
SERIES WITHIN A PHRASE: When a phrase that otherwise
would be set off by commas contains a series of words that must
be separated by commas, use dashes to set off the full phrase:
He listed the qualities — intelligence, humor, conservatism,
independence — that he liked in a leader.
9
Ellipsis ( … )
In general, treat an ellipsis as a three-letter word, constructed
with three periods and two spaces, as shown here.
Use an ellipsis to indicate the deletion of one or more words in
condensing quotes, texts and documents. Be especially careful to
avoid deletions that would distort the meaning.
PUNCTUATION GUIDELINES: If the words that precede an
ellipsis constitute a grammatically complete sentence, either in
the original or in the condensation, place a period at the end of
the last word before the ellipsis. Follow it with a regular space
and an ellipsis: I no longer have a strong enough political base. …
When the grammatical sense calls for a question mark,
exclamation point, comma or colon, the sequence is word,
punctuation mark, regular space, ellipsis: Will you come? …
When material is deleted at the end of one paragraph and at
the beginning of the one that follows, place an ellipsis in both
locations.
10
QUOTATIONS: In writing a story, do not use ellipses at the
beginning and end of direct quotes: “I will always love you.” NOT
“... I will always love you ...”
Hyphen (-)
Hyphens are joiners. Use them to avoid ambiguity
or to form a single idea from two or more words.
AVOID AMBIGUITY: Use a hyphen whenever ambiguity would
result if it were omitted: The pastor re-covered the Communion
tray. He recovered his health.
COMPOUND MODIFIERS: When a compound modifier — two or
more words that express a single concept — precedes a noun,
use hyphens to link all the words in the compound except
the adverb very and all adverbs that end in –ly: a first-quarter
touchdown, a bluish-green dress, a full-time job, a well-known
man, a better-qualified woman, a know-it-all attitude, a very good
time, an easily remembered rule.
TWO-THOUGHT COMPOUNDS: serio-comic, socio-economic.
COMPOUND PROPER NOUNS AND ADJECTIVES: Use a
hyphen to designate dual heritage: Italian-American, MexicanAmerican. African-American is acceptable to hyphenate as an
adjective, even though it does not signify dual heritage. For
example:
There were only 50 African-American people on the cruise ship.
We are African Americans.
AVOID DUPLICATED VOWELS, TRIPLED CONSONANTS:
anti-intellectual, pre-empt, shell-like.
PREFIXES: Generally do not hyphenate when using a prefix
with a word starting with a consonant.
 Except for cooperate and coordinate, use a hyphen if
the prefix ends in a vowel and the word that follows begins
with the same vowel.
 Use a hyphen if the word that follows is capitalized.
 Use a hyphen to join double prefixes:
sub-subparagraph.
WITH NUMERALS: When large numbers must be spelled out,
use a hyphen to connect a word ending in –y to another word:
twenty-one, fifty-five, etc.
SUSPENSIVE HYPHENATION: The form: He received a gift
certificate that can be used over the next 6- to 8-months at the
FBCG Media Center.
Three rules are constant, although they yield some exceptions to
first-listed spellings in Webster’s New World College Dictionary:
11
Period (.)
Use one space after a period to separate sentences.
Periods always go inside quotation marks.
Quotation Marks (“ ”)
If a full paragraph of quoted material is
followed by a paragraph that continues
the quotation, do not put close-quote
marks at the end of the first paragraph. Do,
however, put open-quote marks at the start
of the second paragraph. Continue in this
fashion for any succeeding paragraphs,
using close-quote marks only at the end of
the quoted material.
If a paragraph does not start with quotation marks but ends with
a quotation that is continued in the next paragraph, do not use
close-quote marks at the end of the introductory paragraph if the
quoted material constitutes a full sentence. For example:
12
Kirk Daley said trying to sit in the sanctuary at the Landover
building was a challenge. “You had to arrive at least 30- to
40-minutes before service began and then worry about finding
parking.
“You could also park at an off-site location and catch a shuttle
bus to the church. But once inside the old building, you still had to
stand in line to secure a seat in the main sanctuary.”
Use close-quote marks, however, if the
quoted material does not constitute a
full sentence. For example:
Kirk Daley said trying to sit in the sanctuary
at the Landover building was a challenge.
He said you had to arrive at least “30- to
40-minutes before service began and then
worry about finding parking.”
“You could also park at an off-site location and catch a shuttle
bus to the church. But once inside the old building, you still had to
stand in line to secure a seat in the main sanctuary,” he said.
UNFAMILIAR TERMS: A word or words being introduced to
readers may be placed in quotation marks on first reference.
PLACEMENT WITH OTHER PUNCTUATION: Follow these longestablished printers’ rules:
 The period and comma always go within the quotation
marks.
o “I will always love you,” said Billy Freedman.; He
said, “It’s time for me to go home.”
 The dash, semicolon, the question mark and the
exclamation point go within the quotation marks when
they apply to the quoted matter only. They go outside
when they apply to the whole sentence.
o “Help me!” she cried.; What are you going to do
when James says, “I don’t know”?
13
Semicolon (;)
In general, use the semicolon to indicate a
greater separation of thought and information
than a comma can convey but less than the
separation that a period implies.
TO CLARIFY A SERIES: Use semicolons to
separate elements of a series when the items
in the series are long or when individual
segments contain material that also must be
set off by commas: He is survived by a son,
John Smith, of Chicago; three daughters, Jane
Smith, of Wichita, Kan., Mary Smith, of Denver,
and Susan Smith, of Boston; and a sister,
Martha, of Omaha, Neb.
Note that the semicolon is used before and
after the final and in such a series.
TO LINK INDEPENDENT CLAUSES: Use
semicolons when a coordinating conjunction
such as and, but or for is not present: The
package was due last week; it arrived today.
14
If a coordinating conjunction is present,
use a semicolon before it only if extensive
punctuation also is required in one or more
of the individual clauses: They pulled their
boats from the water, sandbagged the retaining
walls, and boarded up the windows; but even
with these precautions, the island was hard-hit
by the hurricane.
Unless a particular literary effect is desired,
however, the better approach in these
circumstances is to break the independent
clauses into separate sentences.
PLACEMENT WITH QUOTES: Place
semicolons outside quotation marks.

AGES: Always use figures. The girl is 15 years old; the law is
8 years old; the 101-year-old house. When the context does not
require years or years old, the figure is presumed to be years.
Use hyphens for ages expressed as adjectives before a noun or
as a substitute for a noun. Examples: A 5-year-old boy, but the
boy is 5 years old. The boy, 7, has a sister, 10. The woman, 26,
has a daughter 2 months old. The race is for 3-year-olds (this
instance, hyphens indicate substitution for a noun). The woman
is in her 30s.
ALPHABETIZING: When listing names in a document,
alphabetize by last name.
Lowercase biblical in all cases.
Lowercase bible as a non-religious term: My dictionary is my
bible.
Do not abbreviate individual books of the Bible.
 Names of the books of the Bible are generally spelled out
when the reference appears in running text or when the
book alone is referred to. (If references are numerous,
then an abbreviated reference closed in parentheses
and separated by semicolons is allowed.)
 Example: The Bible teaches that “the Word became flesh
and dwelt among us” (John 1:14). We are not to fear, but
wait and trust in the Lord (Isa. 41:10; Ps. 27:14).
BIBLE: Capitalize, without quotation marks, when referring
to the Scriptures in the Old Testament or the New Testament.
Capitalize also related terms such as the Gospels, the
Scriptures, the Holy Scriptures.

ITALICS: Use italics for prayers, unspoken thoughts,
newspapers, magazines and reference books. Avoid overusing
italics for emphasis.
* Enclose italicized text of Scriptures with quotation marks.
Italicize the following:
 Newspapers – The New York Times, The Washington Post
 Reference books – Webster’s New College Dictionary,
Strong’s Concordance
 Magazines – Vision, Gospel Today, Grace, Ebony
LINE BREAKS: Carefully check line breaks in each paragraph.
Allow no more than two consecutive lines to break with hyphens.
If a line break occurs in the middle of a person’s name, do not
hyphenate the name. Rewrap the text instead. If a middle initial
is used, place the initial on the top line.
NUMBERED ADDRESSES: Abbreviate avenue, boulevard and
street in numbered addresses: He lives on Pennsylvania Avenue.
He lives at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
NUMERALS: Use Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3, …), unless Roman
numerals (I, II, III, …) are specifically required.
REFERENCE: On first reference, use full name and title. On
second mention, use last name only.
Example: Use Detective John Brown first and Brown second.
Exception: Use Pastor John K. Jenkins Sr. first and Pastor
second. Use First Lady Trina Jenkins first and First Lady second.
2nd Exception: (church titles) Use Bishop T.D. Jakes first and
Bishop Jakes second.
Exception: In stories involving youth, refer to them by first name
on second reference if they are 17 or younger and by their last
name if they are 18 or older.
Spell out one through nine, start using figures with number 10
and above.
21
Please note that when using a suffix (i.e., Sr., Jr., I, II or III) with a
name, do not place a comma before it: Pastor John K. Jenkins Sr.;
John Marshall III; Melvin Johnson Jr.
STATE NAMES: Spell out the names of the 50 U.S. states when
they stand alone in textual material. Any state name may be
condensed, however, to fit typographical requirements for tabular
material.
 No abbreviation: The names of eight states are never
abbreviated in datelines or text: Alaska, Hawaii, Idaho,
Iowa, Maine, Ohio, Texas and Utah.
Following are the state abbreviations, which also appear in the
entries for each state (postal code abbreviations in parentheses):
22
Ala. (AL)
Ariz. (AZ)
Ark. (AR)
Calif. (CA)
Colo. (CO)
Conn. (CT)
Del. (DE)
Fla. (FL)
Ga. (GA)
Ill. (IL)
Ind. (IN)
Kan. (KS)
Ky. (KY)
La. (LA)
Md. (MD)
Mass. (MA)
Mich. (MI)
Minn. (MN)
Miss. (MS)
Mo. (MO)
Mont. (MT)
Neb. (NE)
Nev. (NV)
N.H. (NH)
N.J. (NJ)
N.M. (NM)
N.Y. (NY)
N.C. (NC)
N.D. (ND)
Okla. (OK)
Ore. (OR)
Pa. (PA)
R.I. (RI)
S.C. (SC)
S.D. (SD)
Tenn. (TN)
Vt. (VT)
Va. (VA)
Wash. (WA)
W. Va. (WV)
Wis. (WI)
Wyo. (WY)
These are the postal code abbreviations for the eight states that
are not abbreviated in datelines or text: AK (Alaska), HI (Hawaii),
ID (Idaho), IA (Iowa), ME (Maine), OH (Ohio), TX (Texas), UT
(Utah). Also: District of Columbia (DC).
Use the two-letter Postal Service abbreviations only with full
addresses, including ZIP code.
Punctuation – Place one comma between the city and the state
name, and another comma after the state name, unless ending a
sentence or indicating a dateline: Our couples retreat will be held
in Newport News, Va., and we will be blessed to hear from guest
speakers Justin and Christina Green from Colorado Springs, Colo.
The best museums are in Washington, D.C., including the National
Gallery of Art.
TELEPHONE NUMBERS: Use hyphens, not periods. The form:
301-773-3600; 800-111-1000. If extension numbers are needed,
use a comma to separate the main number from the extension:
301-773-3600, ext. 600.
TIMES: Use figures except for noon and midnight. Use a colon to
separate hours from minutes. When the time falls directly on the
hour, there is no need to display the minutes: 11 a.m., 1 p.m.,
3:30 p.m. FBCG service times: 8 a.m., 10 a.m., noon and 6:30 p.m.
Start and end times: 9 a.m.-1 p.m.; 2:30 p.m.- 4:30 p.m.
DO NOT display times as:
9:00 a.m., 10:00 AM, 11:00 am or 12noon

Poster Templates
In this section, you will find two poster templates. Please note that
these templates serve as a general guide and can be customized
to fit the needs of your ministry. If your ministry has annual or
quarterly events, a poster can be developed with velcro inserts.
The poster should include all constant information (i.e., name
of ministry, event, church contact info) and the velcro insert will
highlight variable items (i.e., date, time). This can prove to be more
cost-effective than reprinting a new poster each year for recurring
events. Posters with velcro inserts provide an excellent opportunity
to brand an annual event to your ministry. With that in mind, the
overall design should be something that lasts for several years.
