Does Your Church Use Social Media?

Hey Church Leaders!

Does your church use social media for any reason in your church? Would you take a few minutes if you do and email my friend Ben Taylor to answer these questions for his college course he’s finishing up?

  1. Do have a social media strategy? Why or why not?
  2. How long has the Social Media strategy been in place?
  3. Define Social Media in your context?
  4. Please define your social media strategy?  (How do you use social media?)
  5. What is your goal by utilizing social media?
  6. When you think about communicating to the church/congregation/community is social media a part the strategy?
  7. Is Social Media in your context more about pushing information (marketing) or building community? Or both? Explain.
  8. What successes have your organization experienced by utilizing a social media strategy?
  9. What failures have your organization experienced by utilizing a social media strategy?
  10. How do you measure the effectiveness of your social media strategy?
  11. Are you satisfied with the results of your social media strategy? Why or why not?
  12. If you had the resources to plant a church would you choose to do in the physical or online? What is your reasoning for this choice?
  13. Do you see a social media strategy as a ministry of the church as the church? What is your rationale for this decision?

Thanks for your help!

The Bowling gods Hate Me

Last night the PDYM State Mentors went to Lucky Strike Lanes for a little dinner and bowling.

My Results:
Game #1 3rd place 114 pts
Game #2 4th place (I didn’t get serious until frame 6) 101 pts

Doug Fields showed all the youth pastors how to do it with the high score of the night at 159 and Jim Clark came in a close second with his strong effort of 139.

I even tried a little meditation…the bowling gods still did not smile on me.

I choked like the Chicago Cubs in the pursuit of a World Series Championship.

Despite facing the anger of the bowling gods, I had more fun than I have had in a long time.

It’s sad I only get to hangout with these youth workers once a year. We’ve had a lot of fun.

Unfortunately it all ends today at 3:00 pm PT.

The after party heads to Hollywood afterwards, so who knows what will happen there!
