Thanks Frank, gained great insights on why church should use FB. Was making a resaearch on origins of FB and its evils (if any) as I sought info to answer one of my elders who is opposed to the idea of an official FB of our man’s ministr. Feel free to respond and give further insights.

Frank, this is an excellent starting point for the newbie to social media. One thing I would add is that with Facebook and other social media is that it allows users who are interested in you to follow you. Instead of a “shotgun approach to marketing” it allows ministries within a church to target their specific audience rather than send an announcement to everyone. . .even those not interested. Good stuff!

“a church website is a one way conversation.”

Interesting thought…church on Sunday mornings at many places are usually the same way…one guy in front having a one way conversation

I have no problem with a church member or volunteer setting up a FB page. However, on the web, “content is king” so it has to be maintained. If the page is not constantly being updated, to make sure it is current, it is useless. So, if a non-staff person is going to manage the page they need to understand the need for fresh content in order to do a great job.

Question: Setting up a facebook page for the church. Should a church employee do it, or can a member do it with the pastors permission?

Great thoughts Frank. I know a number of church based organizations are developing their own social networking tool, but by read is that we’d do well to utilize what is already out there.
