Is your church taking full advantage of the Digital world we live in?
Some would say that we do not have to use the internet to reach people. We can do it the “old fashion” way – however you may define it. Here is the problem with that line of thinking – it ignores a great tool God has given us and it creates a “me centric” mentality. YOU want to do it the old ways so that is the only way it is going to get done.
Consider these statistics:
According to Pew Research 78% of Internet users conduct product research online. And, 79% of adults use the Internet.
The church’s “front door” is no longer the literal front door – it is your web page ~ Facebook page ~ blog ~ YouTube channel or Twitter feed.
How does that translate to the church? It means people are checking you out online before they come to be your guest!

If you aren’t doing digital well then you may be turning people away who need to hear the saving message of the Gospel!
