Small Churches, Big Challenges: Digital Ministry with Hannah Coleman and Alex Lyons | S3 E13
Episode 13
In this episode of Conversation with Ministry Leaders we talk about small churches facing significant challenges especially with digital ministries. In fact, 70% of South Carolina state's 1,900 Baptist churches are plateauing or declining. Meanwhile, many congregations struggle with limited resources and staff wearing multiple hats.
Alex Lions and Hannah Coleman from the South Carolina Baptist Convention share insights on these pressing issues. They discuss how smaller churches are transitioning from in-person only to digital-first approaches. However, many church leaders lack the technical skills needed for modern communication.
The conversation reveals a key shift in strategy. Previously, the Baptist Convention focused solely on reaching pastors as gatekeepers. Now, they're developing resources that speak directly to congregation members. Additionally, they're creating evangelistic content for streaming platforms like Amazon Prime and YouTube.
Visual communication plays a crucial role in gospel outreach. Hannah explains that quality design doesn't require perfection. Instead, it needs clarity and aesthetic appeal to capture attention. Furthermore, different visual styles reach different audiences effectively.
The discussion also explores AI's impact on church communications. Interestingly, Gen X and millennials embrace AI tools most readily. Meanwhile, both boomers and Gen Z show more resistance to artificial intelligence.
This episode offers valuable insights for church leaders navigating digital transformation challenges while maintaining their evangelistic mission.
