    Hi Frank,

    Thanks for blogging about the social networking round table series. Looks like are making good use of social media with a blog, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, & more. What was your biggest take-away from the series?

    I’d also be curious to hear how your church is using social media, what’s working, and what’s not working?

    Paul,

    Thanks for doing all the legwork for the series you posted. I think the biggest take-away for church leaders is to take it slow and to observe what others are doing so you can formulate a healthy strategy that works for you. Every church has its own culture and philosophy of ministry but we can still learn from each other.

    Our church staff has been blogging for a while now but we are now jumping into online video through Vimeo and also have set up a fan page for the church on facebook. My next goal is to have our church jump into bulk texting since not too many of our attendees use twitter.
