Social media is the future of church ministry
Your church's social media is not marketing, it’s ministry. Our heart is to see a movement of faithful, creative, and theologically grounded Christians steward online platforms to proclaim the Gospel, build up the Church, and reach the next generation.
How Many Times Should Churches Post on Social Media in a Week?
One of the more common frustrations churches run into with social media is not that they have nothing to say, but that they do not know what to say on a consistent basis.
Some weeks feel easy, especially when there is a big event or something out of the ordinary, but most weeks feel fairly normal. Because of that, posting becomes inconsistent, and over time it starts to feel more like a burden than something helpful.
What tends to make the biggest difference is not creativity, but rhythm.
Churches that are consistent online usually are not more talented or more resourced. They have simply settled into a pattern that they can repeat each week without having to rethink everything from the ground up.
Here’s an example of what a normal week of posting could look like at your church.
