As churches grow and the era of iPads and smartphones is in full swing,
social media is becoming one of the most effective ways to reach
members. However, sometimes it can be a slow process learning how to
effectively use and be comfortable with it. Studies show that even
though is it more important than ever for churches to be using social
media, they do so at alarmingly low rates.
Below I’ve collected ten statistics to illustrate just how crucial
social media is to church growth, and just how badly churches currently
do with it:
1. 70% of millennials (that are practicing Christians) say they use a smartphone or the internet to read scripture. (Source: Facts & Trends) <<Tweet this stat
2. Only 32% of churches use social media to get feedback from members. Of
the churches that do use social media to get feedback, 17% have less
than 150 members, 36% have 150-500 members, 16% have 500-1,000 members,
and 31% have over 1,000 members. (Source: Buzzplant) <<Tweet this stat
3. Social media is the most effective method of outreach according to 46.1% of churches. Other effective ways were knocking on doors (24.7%), newspaper (14.3%), radio (9.1%), and TV (5.8%).

4. 98% of churches use Facebook, while only 30% use Twitter. (Source: Buzzplant) <<Tweet this stat
5. Larger churches are more likely than their smaller counterparts to use their websites interactively. 52%
of congregations with 500 or more attendees use their website to “allow
more processes at (their) church to be automated, compared with only
15% of churches with 1-49 attendees.” (Source: LifeWay Christian Resources) <<Tweet this stat
6. The average click-through-rate is 115% higher for church emails that include at least one social media link. (Source: Anthony Coppedge| Focused on Church Health) <<Tweet this stat
7. Approximately 51% of churches claim at least one of their staff regularly blogs or posts on social media. 74% of churches do not have a paid staff member that updates their church’s social media pages. (Source: Buzzplant) <<Tweet this stat
8. More than 4 in 10 millennials have participated in online faith
discussions and also blogged or commented on a blog about their faith. (Source: Facts & Trends) <<Tweet this stat
9. 62% of churches use social networking to connect with individuals outside of the congregation. (Source: Facts & Trends) <<Tweet this stat
10. 52% of churches broadcast sermons online or have podcasts. 44% say that video media is occasionally used in sermons; 29% say it never is; 27% say it is used almost every week.
