Social Media in the Church
For some reason I have always been an early adapter to new things and ideas. Yes, I paid $600 for my iPhone. Do I regret it? Not at all. I got my Facebook account the first month it was offered to only college students. Twitter - Not so much an early adapter, but I did have an account before the majority of my friends had ever heard of it. So, now you might be asking, "What does this have to do with social media and the Church?" The answer is easy. Everything. Yes. there are a lot more social media tools you should have if this is the direction you want your church to go, but these 2 are the first 2 you should invest the majority of your time dabbling in. If you work in a church in any capacity you should sign up for Twitter and Facebook immediately. If you work in youth and you do not use Facebook you are missing out on tremendous ministering opportunities. Odds are 90% of your students have a Facebook account. You might not understand why, immediately, but it starts to make sense the more and more you use it. These tols will change the way you do ministry, but in a good way.
