If you haven’t noticed, I’m on a bit of a quest right now. I’m learning everything I can about social media and how churches can effectively use it to communicate their message. For those that don’t know what I’m talking about, social media includes blogs (such as wiredforservice.com), Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc. These sites are amazingly effective ways to tell people what you think. When you log onto Facebook, it asks “What’s on your mind?” You respond and it posts something like this “Chad Conger is thinking about social media”. Twitter’s version is “What are you doing?”...“Chad Conger is blogging about social media”. So what’s the big deal about that?
The big deal is that all of the various social media outlets allow you to have followers, friends and subscribers...all of the sudden you’ve got an online community. These are people that read what you’re doing or what’s on your mind and then share what they’re thinking or doing with you. If what’s on our mind is bringing people to Christ and what we’re doing leads to that...and if we allow them to interact with us about such things...now we’ve got some ministry happening!
Stay tuned...I’ll post more when I know more.
