5 Tips to Grow Your Church Through Facebook
Are you using social
media to grow your church?
About two years ago Community Bible Church, San Antonio, TX,
started the Online Church Facebook page with little direction or strategy.
Despite their lack of a plan, and through a constant state of experimentation,
the page has grown to more than 320,000 “Likes”, representing 150 countries. In
the process we’ve made many mistakes, but have also found some keys to success
in using Facebook to connect with people.
Here are a few tips that will help your church maximize
Facebook to engage a wider audience than you ever dreamed possible:
1. Be Consistent. The biggest mistake that churches make is
creating a page and rarely posting to it. Set a schedule and stick to it, I
recommend posting at least once a day.
2. Inspire your Audience. Inspiring your congregation
doesn’t have to just happen in your church building. It can happen online as
well!
3. Ask Questions. Remember that social media is social and
asking questions is the best way to start a conversation.
4. Tell Stories. There’s nothing more powerful than sharing
a story of how God has moved in the life of someone in your congregation or
sharing a highlight from a recent event in your church.
5. Share Information. While this is last on the list, it’s
still important to let your congregation know what’s going on. This is often
the only content that churches post and causes their pages to be irrelevant and
ignored.
