DESCRIPTION
In today's new ministries, the presentation answers whether or not the church should engage in social media, with whom it should engage and the basics of engagement. I also touch on potential pitfalls and the unintended consequences of social endorsement. There are businesses that will benefit from this presentation's section on "social endorsement" from a communications perspective, as well as, delineating the difference between organizational and leadership social accounts.TRANSCRIPT

Relationships
• Open a dialogue
• Amplify your voice and message
• Build a platform independent of location, corporate size or budget
![Page 18: 2014 church-and-social-media-issachar-conference](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051512/5414ec478d7f72466c8b4733/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Getting started
• Sign up for your accounts using the same handle
• Choose one social platform and dedicate yourself to it for 3 months
• Post on a consistent schedule or around the same time of day

Each platform has its strength
• Facebook lends itself to longer post and content sharing
• Twitter invokes quick calls to action and can direct followers to your content on other platforms
• Instagram is very visual, but can be used to promote and give an insider look at your relationships
• Youtube allows for long format video and archiving of key sermons and/or events

Avoid Unintended Outcomes
• Recognize the need for a corporate social account and a personal account for your leaders
• Please understand that a like, retweet, favorite etc. is a social endorsement
• As a leader, review beyond a single post before you favorite
