Be Human
The relationships and experiences we have with people will always leave a bigger impact than the messages we share on Sunday mornings. When we use social media correctly, churches can strengthen those relationships and extend those experiences. The only way that happens is if we choose to bring more of our humanity into the content we post.

You just have to dice up that content and translate it to your social media. If you pull your resources from all the ministries your church has (meaning youth ministry, children ministry, all adult ministries, etc.), then you’ll have more than enough and you’ll be celebrating more of the incredible things your church is doing.
Here are 5 examples of what I’m talking about…
