Social media for ministry
Speaking to worship and technology leaders on Saturday at Church Music Ga about Digital Media in Ministry. Came up with this analogy…
A church website would be compared to the church building. You can find information there about all the ministries and goings on regarding the church as a whole. A facebook page is like the Sr. Pastor, on his fb page you can find out information about him, his friends and family and what he is passionate about. And finally, Twitter is like the sign and marquee out by the road. You share short statements about what is going on with the pastor and within the church and direct people to important events to get them to visit the church or Sr. Pastor.
I guess the point is, when a church leader asks if they should Tweet in Twitter – ask if their church has a sign or marquee in front of their church building… Your thoughts and comments are appreciated.
