When it comes to Church social media:

• Including people > impressing people

• Question marks > periods

• Building your community > branding your content

Online sermons reach more seekers in a week than traditional pulpits do in a year.

68% of Americans use YouTube for spiritual content. (Pew Forum)

74% of churches increased their tech budget for 2024.

This isn't about preference anymore … it’s about presence.

It’s easier to blame the algorithm than blame your content.

People don’t need another Christmas event invitation.

They need to hear how people like them found hope in your church this year.

Stop promoting events. Start sharing stories.

Jesus said “Go into all the world …”
Today, the world is in your pocket.

91% of adults keep their smartphones within arm's reach.

Your greatest mission field is literally in your hand … you just have to turn a smartphone from a tool for distraction into a tool for discipleship.

🧵 Want to see your Christmas services create lasting impact this year?

After working with hundreds of churches, we've discovered what actually transforms first-time guests into long-term community ...

Hey Church leaders!

Here's the hard truth about your Christmas promotions:

Your Christmas services aren't competing with the church down the road. They're competing with Netflix, Instagram, and TikTok.

In the modern online world ...
we are drowning in content
but starving for wisdom.

We have never met a church online pastor who thinks online should replace in-person.

None of us believe in “technology replacement theology”.

We just know online enhances what happens in person.

It's easier to blame the algorithm than your content.

People who live within driving distance of your church building should:

1. Know your church is in the community.
2. Be glad your church is in the community.
3. Be better because your church is in the community.

This is the purpose of your church social media.

It's more important than ever to know your online audience.
- What they're asking.
- What they want.
- What they need.
- What they trust.
- How they connect.
