7th Commandment for Church Websites

Thou shalt be thoughtful about using social media

Social media for churches is different than social media for individuals. You can spend a lot of time and energy trying to figure out all the social media platforms out there. You don’t need to jump on every new form of social media that comes out. Focus on a couple that can really build up the communication between community members like Facebook.

They key thing to remember is: if your church leadership can’t explain clearly why the church is on a certain social media site, it’s time to re-think how you’re spending your digital energy.
