chsocm:

Welcome to our weekly church & social media #chsocm chat, especially those joining in for the first

chsocm:

Back to school and not just for kids but tonight's topics are focused on kids and teens. Get ready for T1!

paulsteinbrueck:

RT : Back to school and not just for kids but tonights topics are focused on kids and teens. Get ready for T1!

chsocm:

T1How can we use social media to reach kids & inspire them to take an active role in church & faith?

edwardjensen:

RT : T1How can we use social media to reach kids & inspire them to take an active role in church & faith?

penelopepiscopl:

Kids are our NOW!

tijuanabecky:

Very much so --> #kidmin RT : Regardless of denomination, we probably can agree that kids are our future,

yes?

MeredithGould:

RT @penelopepiscopl: Kids are our NOW!

theologybird:

RT @penelopepiscopl: Kids are our NOW! ///YES

sm4faith:

t1 most services defined as social media require kids to be 23 to hold accounts

chsocm:

@sm4faith Think in terms of adults using social media to build youth ministry

sm4faith:

however, our teens are very active on FB, with pages and groups relating to faith, camps, activities and networks

rev_david:

T1 - Shouldn't the answer to how we reach/inspire young people sound a whole lot like how we reach/inspire

more ... experienced Xns?

paulsteinbrueck:

T1: Communicating with them on their terms - texting, Facebook - is a good place to start.

drothamel:

T1: I think the better approach is to use SM to reach kids by reaching their parents first.

Denise205:

@sm4faith I think you mean 13, but that's my first reaction. We need to keep the rules in mind when we minister.

That said...

sm4faith:

I consider youth ministry to be to teens, with teens and by teens, and indeed a lot of teens build networks

5

edwardjensen:

@sm4faith Well, can we define "youth" and "kids" here? In terms of age.

sm4faith:

i did mean 13, always a bad typist! thanks for clarifying :)

edwardjensen:

@paulsteinbrueck Agreed, but how can we respond when SM is constantly changing?

asacredrebel:

It is a way to connect with the younger generation as most of the youth consider email passe

iamepiscopalian:

RT @drothamel: T1: I think the better approach is to use SM to reach kids by reaching their parents first.

theologybird:

@edwardjensen This is often when middle school becomes a great grey expanse of losing kids

asacredrebel:

@iamepiscopalian Do we consider texting social media? then those under 16 are using that...

klamach:

I probably should have used the term youth in my prior tweet those who have SM presence already

fsantoni:

Hi all. Sorry I'm late. What'd I miss?

paulsteinbrueck:

@drothamel Most of the kids at our church "friend" our youth pastor.

iamepiscopalian:

@asacredrebel I don't include sms texting as SM, no.

asacredrebel:

@drothamel I had a lot of my youth in Ohio friend me on FB... but not here in TX. maybe a regional thing...

theologybird:

RT @rev_david: I do not send a friend request to youth unless I am also friends with parent. Transparency & all

that.

tijuanabecky:

A1: We can respond by providing resources and information for their parents who are on sm sites as well as

partner w others.

drothamel:

@sm4faith ahhh, but those aren't the teens that need "reaching." They are already fully engaged.

tijuanabecky:

Agreed RT @drothamel: T1: I think the better approach is to use SM to reach kids by reaching their parents first.

asacredrebel:

@rev_david I don't friend members of the church unless they request it. And good policy on parent/youth...

6

drothamel:

@rev_david that is a great policy to have.

theSusanWright:

RT @drothamel: T1: I think the better approach is to use SM to reach kids by reaching their parents first. (neat

idea)

asacredrebel:

@iamepiscopalian OK, then I would agree that 16 is a good age.

asacredrebel:

RT @rev_david: I do not send a friend request to youth unless I am also friends with parent. Transparency & all

that.

rev_david:

I think there is a big need to support / educate parents of the youngest ones, whose schedules keep them very

busy. SocMed can help.

sm4faith:

I think your online practices of engaging with teens will mirror your real life ones a lot

edwardjensen:

MT @drothamel: Thats why I think the best way to get to teens is through their parents. Get them involved.

drothamel:

RT @rev_david: I think there is a big need to support / educate parents of the youngest ones, whose schedules

keep them very busy.

tijuanabecky:

R we considering kids who r of legal age 2 b on social media sites or those who r younger..where we'd go

through the parent?

sm4faith:

if you work in a church that is very careful with youth work protocols, that will happen online too

asacredrebel:

@rev_david maybe through an online chat like this? For support andeducation of parents with young children

chsocm:

Seeing that everyone has anticipated T2, so let's add it to the mix now.

asacredrebel:

RT @theologybird: RT @sm4faith: I think your online practices of engaging with teens will mirror your real life

ones a lot // agree!

Denise205:

@tijuanabecky I think either would be valid for conversation here.

rev_david:

@asacredrebel @asacredrebel Jerry, I do friend members. Just like I will call them, stop by the house,

etc. http://bit.ly/n1Nh8z

paulsteinbrueck:

RT @fsantoni: SM provides an ideal means of practicing a "ministry of presence" where u can b *with* youth

w/o ministering *to* them

edwardjensen:

@sm4faith most definitely.

chsocm:

T2 How can we reach/influence/engage parents through social media to improve kids’ faith & church

participation?

reckshow:

i wonder if being friends with the youth minister helps kids be accountable on social media. GOD IS

WATCHING and all that.

Denise205:

@drothamel @rev_david I think that's a great use of social media.

rev_david:

Liek w/adults: SocMed allows you to keep faith/church in front of young people during the week.

theologybird:

T2 assumes kids are coming to Church with parents--something that I increasingly don't see

sm4faith:

T2.well we are moving the other way around a lot here. Teens join then parents

sm4faith:

Our web demographics are far more representative of life than our pew deomgraphics

edwardjensen:

@theologybird As in parents come to church, not kids? Or vice versa?

theologybird:

@sm4faith Exactly--kids and teens bring friends and parents may or may not follow

fsantoni:

RT @sm4faith: Our web demographics are far more representative of life than our pew deomgraphics

drothamel:

RT @sm4faith: Our web demographics are far more representative of life than our pew deomgraphics //

Interesting. . .

tijuanabecky:

RT @paulsteinbrueck: T2: SM allows us 2 live out r faith in community throughout the week.

Denise205:

RT : T2 How can we reach/influence/engage parents through social media to improve kids’ faith & church

participation?

sm4faith:

If you have a FB page you can check via insights

8

asacredrebel:

we live our faith out loud in our posts. It is not something we put on for Sunday morning... engaging the parents

will help them see

tijuanabecky:

A2 You could use Facebook groups or a page to connect with parents of children or to connect w the youth group

to encourage these.

klamach:

@MeredithGould One of our teens often posts on FB about how much she enjoys church and summer church

camp

asacredrebel:

It shows our online lives need to hold up to the servent heart we are supposed to have

sm4faith:

I think cyberspace is ageless, people judge the merit of content on interest not age. cannot always see if hair is

grey.

fsantoni:

Whatever we do "offline", will come through via SM online. I maintain that SM simply expresses the community

that already exists

paulsteinbrueck:

T2: IMO, the goal isn't 2 get ppl to participate in more church activities, but 2 live out their faith b/w church

activities

sm4faith:

But closed FB groups are not very missional

asacredrebel:

@rev_david but even posts to a closed FB can show up in a friends feed if the poster is friends with both and the

others are freinds

Denise205:

@rev_david Why would it have to be closed? :29MeredithGould:

@Denise205 Not to pander but I think @loyolapress picturing God posts are a great example of that

drothamel:

@rev_david Or a G+ Hangout. :-)

rev_david:

@Denise205 Would not have to be closed, but I find ppl are more willing to be open / vulnerable in a closed

group.

azrork:

My personal goal with sm is to engage both youth & adults into convo w/those they might not normally:

intergenerational.

sm4faith:

I've gone off G+ actually

9

MeredithGould:

@sm4faith I dunno, I've had some fairly meaningful & deep convos w/people of faith on Twitter

Denise205:

@MeredithGould Thanks. A lot of what I do in my @loyolapress work tries to answer T2.

drothamel:

I think it has less to do with age demos, and more to do with tech-comfort demos.

MeredithGould:

@edwardjensen Have you used them? (hangouts)

rev_david:

@fsantoni Exactly!

asacredrebel:

RT @drothamel: I think it has less to do with age demos, and more to do with tech-comfort demos. //AMEN

fsantoni:

G+ feels deserted every time I circle back to it. #punnotintendedbutnoted

sm4faith:

@MeredithGould @sm4faith Where distance requires that, it's ok, but I am spotting interesting differences

theologybird:

RT @drothamel: I think it has less to do with age demos, and more to do with tech-comfort demos.

rev_david:

Yes! // MT @reckshow: closed FB groups help screen trolls, too. a troll can ruin all your good work in just one

post.

edwardjensen:

@MeredithGould No, mainly because the people I would use the hangouts feature aren't on G+.

drothamel:

@fsantoni @edwardjensen oh man, I love G+. Hit me up:http://drothamel.com

rev_david:

Agreed. And well-played, sir. // RT @fsantoni: G+ feels deserted every time I circle back to

it. #punnotintendedbutnoted

tijuanabecky:

Good idea! Or even a meetup on Skype if you have tons of parents! RT @drothamel: @rev_david Or a G+

Hangout. :-)

Anj121:

Hello, jumping in here! Good topic!

drothamel:

@rev_david ya know, I was just wondering about you on G+. You and@expatminister. Been a while. . .

chsocm:

@Anj121 Jump in!!

tijuanabecky:

Welcome @Anj121!

Denise205:

And once again, I remind people that blogs count as social media. They have features that might achieve the

purpose here too.

paulsteinbrueck:

@rev_david Why a closed group? Maybe it would help if teens saw their parents discussing how they want to

help grow their faith.

MeredithGould:

MT @Denise205: , I remind people that blogs count as social media. They have features that might achieve the

purpose here too.

rev_david:

@sm4faith I disagree. I've had meaningful convos with ppl I know IRL via SM, that I am convinced wouldn't

have happened otherwise.

sm4faith:

@edwardjensen @tijuanabecky @drothamel @rev_david Yes, but not for multi-way talk

edkay77:

@rev_david @Denise205 Plus if you want space for parents to tlk about parenting/faith-raising struggles, needs

to be free from youth

asacredrebel:

RT @Denise205: I remind people that blogs count as social media. They have features that might achieve the

purpose here too. //Yes

tijuanabecky:

@edwardjensen @drothamel @rev_david Should be able to do a group video chat for free. One host and just add

everyone in.

drothamel:

@edwardjensen I dunno. I've never done it there. There used to be a great service called Tokbox. But, alas, it is no

more. . .

rev_david:

@drothamel Yes, I need to get over there an check in again. It's been a while. @rev_david @expatminister

edwardjensen:

@drothamel Well, then maybe this is a great time to resurrect G+?

Anj121:

As a parent of 2 teens, I like simple txt, tweet and a shared g calendar for meeting reminders. My ym is

awesome! @russhour

christinaauch:

RT @rev_david: T1 - Social Media can build a community of faith/support/education for harried & hectic parents

of young ones.

11

Denise205:

@rev_david @paulsteinbrueck Agreed!

expatminister:

@rev_david @drothamel ditto. Been a slacker on FB, too.

chsocm:

T1 & 2 (a/b) <--I crack myself up. How many of you worship/work at churches that have WiFi, public computers

onsite, etc.

theologybird:

RT @drothamel: @edwardjensen Its just a matter of getting people to use the platform. That is the biggest

hurdle.

MeredithGould:

@expatminister Yeah, slacker -- new job, moving, 3 kids, soccer coach. Slacker!!!

theologybird:

What is this crazy world you speak of?

asacredrebel:

The number of people on social media is still small in comparison to the population so it is fine tuned to begin

with

Denise205:

@Anj121 Shared calendar! What an obvious but logical answer! Thanks for mentioning it.

tijuanabecky:

I wish.. --> RT : T1 & 2 (a/b) .. How many of you worship/work at churches that have WiFi, public computers

onsite, etc.

sm4faith:

@theologybird @drothamel @edwardjensen that becomes an equity issue when

you do things solely online that could be done face-to-face

edwardjensen:

RT @Denise205: @Anj121 Shared calendar! What an obvious but logical answer! Thanks for mentioning it.

rev_david:

T?? We have wi-fi & public computers. Will be teaching a class on SocMed this spring in the cong. Not bad for a

rural church :-)

MeredithGould:

I served at a church that spent gazillion $ redoing the parish social hall...NO connectivity.

chsocm:

Anyone have a sense of the demographics using/keen on G+ Hangouts? Younger than age 30?

tijuanabecky:

You could use Google! --> RT @denise205: @Anj121 Shared calendar! What an obvious but logical answer!

Thanks for mentioning it.

penelopepiscopl:

My parish has wi-fi on whole campus now. Announced it in the bulletin.

asacredrebel:

@rev_david but your church has a special pastor!

sm4faith:

Rural uptake is good where bandwidth is adequate

MeredithGould:

My recent fave story is about the church that had WiFi but only the pastor had the access code...and didn't share.

edwardjensen:

@sm4faith ah, now that's something we have to remember.

theologybird:

@sm4faith @drothamel @edwardjensen It very easily can be. I've been part of talk around diocesan owned

resources to help.

azrork:

We have wi-fi and computers in classrooms. Not many use the wifi though.

asacredrebel:

@MeredithGould that is classic!

Denise205:

But we don't have to get everyone online to effectively minister to those who are deeply engaged online.

theologybird:

@MeredithGould wifi and website access codes are the new sacristy keys

Denise205:

@MeredithGould Oh, dear!

rev_david:

Ha! // RT @theologybird: @MeredithGould wifi and website access codes are the new sacristy keys

chsocm:

RT @theologybird: @MeredithGould wifi and website access codes are the new sacristy keys

asacredrebel:

@rev_david I'll make sure I come to heckle the teacher!

pinkpaddler:

They put the wireless router in the basement, so there is barely a signal in in the parish hall which is where we

would use it.

penelopepiscopl:

RT @Denise205: But we dont have to get everyone online to effectively minister to those who are deeply

engaged online./So true!

edkay77:

RT @asacredrebel @rev_david but your church has a special pastor!

13

sm4faith:

well at the price of broadband here church wifi would have to be controlled

asacredrebel:

@pinkpaddler now that is forward thinking. There is space in the closet in the basement for the router...

pinkpaddler:

Does anyone offer get-acquainted with SM lessons at their church?

rev_david:

This Spring. // RT @pinkpaddler: Does anyone offer get-acquainted with SM lessons at their church?

edwardjensen:

RT @pinkpaddler: Does anyone offer get-acquainted with SM lessons at their church?

sm4faith:

I have offered, just in last few weeks - will see what happens

pinkpaddler:

@asacredrebel It's been there for three years. drothamel:

@pinkpaddler I did a FB class for my church. It was. . . interesting.

MeredithGould:

@drothamel Interesting is such an interesting word...what made it so?

pinkpaddler:

@drothamel What happened?!

Denise205:

@drothamel Could you say more?

sm4faith:

I am finding good response to my blog posts on using #sm.

asacredrebel:

@rev_david @pinkpaddler did you write your own study or going use what you've done at the leaders

gatherings?

lanfcc:

Agreed. RT @theologybird: T2 assumes kids are coming to Church with parents--something that I increasingly

don't see

rev_david:

Selling socmed classes as (1) Get pictures of your grandkids. and (2) Understand what your children are doing

online

tijuanabecky:

Do you think if we offered classes and taught the ppl then maybe they'd understand why wifi is important?

sm4faith:

@edwardjensen @pinkpaddler No, I think you need to go into strategy to achieve what you want, whether it's

outreach or crossreach

14

drothamel:

@MeredithGould Well, by the end of the class, pretty much everyone had decided they didn't like FB. Our age

demo can be a challenge

azrork:

I've done classes on SM basics: FB, twitter, YouTube. Can't decide whether to include G+ in the future.

pinkpaddler:

@theologybird @tijuanabecky I would like to try it - if anyone has a "syllabus."

rev_david:

@asacredrebel Some material from the leadership gatherings, but more personal-use focused.

Denise205:

@rev_david Good marketing there!

Anj121:

A ym leader posted QR codes around room at parents first meeting to encourage them to join the parents of ym

group.

sm4faith:

I think go where you have most people, and for us that is FB, teach non-users how, and teach current users

missional strategy

sm4faith:

other platforms are secondary to using one well

chsocm:

Time is speeding by...keep going with this or squeeze in T3?

pinkpaddler:

@Anj121 Planning to put a QR on stewardship piece to see if anyone knows

what it is.

Denise205:

@drothamel True. Many people want their faith life to stay private and offline, and I respect that.

edwardjensen:

Wise. But speaks to all. RT @pinkpaddler: @Anj121 Planning to put a QR on stewardship piece to see if anyone

knows what it is.

sm4faith:

I am offering to parishes around here to help them build an online strategy with whoever feels called to help

rev_david:

Um ... Yes? // RT @edwardjensen: so would it be instruction to us or instruction to users, families, children,

etc.?

asacredrebel:

RT @rev_david: All about knowing your audience :-) // RT@Denise205: @rev_david Good marketing there!

//Context is King!

tijuanabecky:

@pinkpaddler @theologybird a syllabus to learn about and how to use social media or why it would be

effective?

chsocm:

T3: YouTube is also a form of social media. Where does it factor into the mix? How should it factor into the

mix?

sm4faith:

It would vary with local needs - start where the learner is at

MeredithGould:

RT : T3: YouTube is also a form of social media. Where does it factor into the mix? How should it factor into the

mix?

rev_david:

@asacredrebel I think you'd encounter a mixed group in any session you did. People brand new "how do you sign

up" to more advanced

pinkpaddler:

@tijuanabecky @theologybird Just some suggestions for topics. It would be remedial at first.

christinaauch:

RT : T3: YouTube is also a form of social media. Where does it factor into the mix? How should it factor into the

mix?

sm4faith:

t3, depends if you have keen YouTubers - won't load in many places here, bandwidth issues

asacredrebel:

@rev_david right but do you market it as a 101, 201, 301 kind of thing or just go with it as is. Again Context is

King!

pinkpaddler:

T3 We have a YouTube channel with a couple dozen videos linked to from website. Gives a flavor of our parish.

rev_david:

T3 @prkanderson does a great 2 minute bible study every (most) weeks. One of the best, most accessible uses of

YouTube I've seen

theologybird:

@pinkpaddler @tijuanabecky by remedial you mean where to start with sm? I'd say that depends on what

you/your church uses best

asacredrebel:

@prkanderson has a wonderful 2 minute bible study they do from his congregation that is posted to youtube.

sm4faith:

We also have privacy act issues with YouTube and photos, so a protocol is needed

16

prkanderson:

@penelopepiscopl He's great. Just spoke to him last week.

goldenskye:

Churches should never assume that *everyone* is all SM networks. Different platforms can reach different

people.

pinkpaddler:

@theologybird @tijuanabecky Yes, most at basic Facebook, no Twitter. Would like to start faith hashtag in my

community.

Denise205:

@tijuanabecky Yep!

drothamel:

@asacredrebel true. But you can use Vimeo if you want to create longer videos.

paulsteinbrueck:

RT Churches should never assume that *everyone* is all SM networks. Different platforms can reach different

people.

skenow:

@MeredithGould just like a commercial 90s ;)

chsocm:

As an interesting and lovely aside, I believe a eu (european union) is getting started in Britain.

sm4faith:

short video will reach more people, and post the duration with the link if reaching rural people

asacredrebel:

@MeredithGould we were looking for a way to upload sermon videos, but had to go to vimeo. And I am good,

but not that good :)

prkanderson:

T3. I to a weekly 2 minute bible study on YouTubehttp://youtube.com/redeemerwoburn. Very well received.

penelopepiscopl:

MT @prkanderson: T3 Fr. Matthew Moretz says we are inculturated through video-from TV->movies. Church

needs to use the same means

Denise205:

@asacredrebel But who wants to watch longer videos most of the time? There's always Vimeo for longer.

asacredrebel:

@drothamel yep, that is where we went for the length of video.

theologybird:

@pinkpaddler @tijuanabecky offhand advice is make sure you can walk others through the privacy settings....

17

sm4faith:

Vimeo is working again?

drothamel:

@edwardjensen yeah, but the paid account lifts the limit. It is pretty cheap. $50/yr. If I remember correctly.

MeredithGould:

I had lots of fun creating "Don't Be That Church" with XtraNormal & made sure it was > 2 minutes

tijuanabecky:

RT @drothamel: Bible-study is another AWESOME potential use for G+ hangouts.

pinkpaddler:

@theologybird @tijuanabecky Good advice.

edwardjensen:

T3 an idea for YT would be to upload sermons. Only the preacher would be filmed. No privacy issues, I think.

drothamel:

@pinkpaddler yeah, that's what I wanted to do, but I couldn't get enough people to consent without policies,

lawyers, and the like.

skenow:

@MeredithGould the point should be to get their attention and draw them back

tijuanabecky:

@theologybird @pinkpaddler Good suggestion..would have to learn them before I taught them :)

asacredrebel:

@edwardjensen as long as they are short... limited to 15 minutes

pinkpaddler:

T3 Our policy is we never use names, and parents can opt out in writing. Otherwise, they're in. Seems to work.

chsocm:

Yet another great chat coming up to the hour soon. Remember: transcript will be posted

to http://bit.ly/pTDoAb later

drothamel:

@edwardjensen Our choir sits behind our Pastor. It created unexpected issues. SO frustrating.

2 Minute Bible Study correct link:http://www.youtube.com/user/redeemerwoburn

pinkpaddler:

@drothamel @edwardjensen Wow, everyone loves being in them here.

sm4faith:

One of our churches shares audio at sermon.net - all audio, lower bandwidth needs

tijuanabecky:

You could also use iTunes and do podcasts of the sermons, and other resources. Not sure that's social media

though.

Remember participating on YouTube is not just about posting videos, but also commenting and responding

penelopepiscopl:

Use YouTube for teaching not for showing services. Be creative! Do video about your mission project. Involve

youth in making them.

asacredrebel:

@tijuanabecky I would say podcasting is a form of social media.

pinkpaddler:

@penelopepiscopl Totally agree.

chsocm:

You're welcome to continue chatting after the hour which is coming up. We will, as ever, conclude this week's

chat with prayer

asacredrebel:

RT @theologybird: @tijuanabecky @pinkpaddler Facebook privacy settings are worth the time it takes to learn.

paulsteinbrueck:

T3: Another good use of YouTube is to encourage youth & adults to take vids, upload, share at church & service

activities.

drothamel:

@tijuanabecky oooh, podcasting would be a good future topic. cc:

pinkpaddler:

@paulsteinbrueck That would be fun. Get the kids to tell the story.

chsocm:

Guide us waking, O Lord, and guard us sleeping; that awake we may watch with Christ & asleep we may rest in

peace

theologybird:

thank you all. apparently must go walk the not at all spoiled

dog.

paulsteinbrueck:

T3: SM shouldn't b only what your church does officially. Every person can be a light & minister thru sm

skenow:

RT Churches should never assume that *everyone* is all SM networks. Different platforms can reach different

people.

chsocm:

We’re at the hour. Thanks to all for your contributions & insights. Join us again, next Tuesday @9pm EDT.
