Why should your church or ministry use Social Media – Facebook especially?
Here’s why – According to Arbitron, Inc & Edison research 51% of Americans age 12 and over are on Facebook!! 51% have profiles on Facebook!
In 2008 that number was only 8%!
So if you are going to reach your community for Christ you need to be aware that you can reach half of them via Facebook. Who would not want to invest in that type of marketing and outreach effort?
If you:
- Hold a church service …. 51% of the community will not come.
- Knock on doors … You won’t get 51% to answer.
- Make phone calls …. no way 51% will pick up (especially if you call the home phone which some people no longer have)
Invest some energy and resources in reaching that 51% (and growing) who will sit in their living room and let you speak into their lives … through Facebook!
Do you know some ways a church can use Facebook?
