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?
