Church Communications

In this episode, we discuss tools to help you equip staff and other volunteers to use social media effectively. We look at the rise of Facebook Groups and their use in ministry settings, how a simple trick during a staff meeting or other gathering can help your church make a deeper impact on social media, then other Two Church Girls shenanigans. We mention a talk Jeff Henderson, lead Pastor of Gwinnett Church in Atlanta gave at That Church Conference. Jeff also discussed some of the same principles in a recent podcast with Carey Nieuwhof. You can access Jeff's material on sundayu.org or https://careynieuwhof.com/mypodcast/.
