Social media for
churches
Go & make disciples:
Three Conceptual Barriers
to Social Media Success
• isn’t real, therefore nothing generated with or from it-- is authentic
– “We aren’t a virtual church,”
• undermines church (the-building), therefore cannot be used to inspire attendance or participation;
– “Why would anyone come to church?”
• or should be considered a nonessential luxury because it takes too much time to learn and use.
– “Just a dream, we have to make do with what we have!”• Gould, Meredith (2013-07-09). The Social Media Gospel (Kindle Locations 240-241). The Liturgical Press. Kindle Edition
Stumbling Block
WHERE TO START?
"All this technology is
making us antisocial"
From This Point.
We Believe:
• Social media tools can be used to manage and monitor public perception of your congregation’s mission
• Social Media can enhance and create caring, Christian relationship.
We Intend Today:
• To lay a foundation of Discipleship through social media.
• To understand the “WHY” before we try to develop the “HOW”
• To identify our ‘next step’ of action.
•
.
OUR GOAL
• To Develop a purposeful Social Media Ministry rooted in
discipleship.
• Today is not to learn the Nuts and Bolts, but to understand the
BLUEPRINTS—to see how the nuts and bolts work together.
Let’s Tweet Each Other
:WHY ARE YOU HERE?
AN example:
Social Network As PRESENCE
• We use mediums/media (technology) to extend presence.
• For your Social Media to be an effective aid in your ministry, it must be authentic, and present.
Saint Paul/Telegraph
• Saint Paul Church at Corinth:
Guttenberg Press/Broadcast
Church/Social Media
CONNECTEDNESS is KEY
What model did we use to get here?
How can we use Technology
• To build God’s Kingdom on Earth?
• To make disciples of all nations?
• To build and strengthen relationships within the
church/community?
Christ has no online presence but yours,No blog, no Facebook page but yours,
Yours are the tweets through which love touches this world, Yours are the posts through which the Gospel is shared, Yours are the updates through which hope is revealed. Christ has no online presence but yours,No blog, no Facebook page but yours.

Adapting to technology does not mean you change the message
to fit the culture. The Word of God stands and does not need to be
spiced up or watered down to fit the taste buds of any culture or
generation. The Word is alive and active as it was when God
spoke it into existence.
The only thing that must change is your mind-set about how you
must relate it to the culture around you.
- The Social Media Gospel Meredith Gould
• The underlying power in social media is not
the technology. It’s the power that comes
from human beings connecting from all
around the globe.
• ‘Media that is social. Social Media is an ongoing conversation on the internet, with new conversations beginning every time someone makes a new post. People share content (status updates, video uploads, photos and so on) and the social interaction begins.
• When you post a video, article, church event, or any type of content on a social network, you are initiating a conversation. People then Like, Comment, Share or ignore the post. This interactive element completely changes the game when it comes to church communication.’
What to post?
Your presence on Social
Media should be the same as
your presence on earth – a
direct outpouring of a life of
worship, faith, and love of the
One who gives you life
How should I post?
