The Church Front Door?For many churchgoing is no longer the ‘cultural norm’. People don’t actively ignore the church: they don’t even think about it. Matthew 5:13-16 calls us to be salt and light in the world, and for thousands in the ‘digital age’, that world includes social networks such Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Pinterest. With literally billions in the digital spaces, the online social spaces presented by churches need to be appealing, welcoming, and not look like they are just an afterthought: they are now effectively the ‘front door’ to your church for digital users, and you ignore those spaces at your peril.http://www.churchgrowthrd.org.uk/blog/churchgrowth/growing_churches_in_the_digital_age

• We are not selling something to the world that will make more people like us, believe in our story, join our churches. We are trying to be something in the world that invites connection and compassion, encourages comfort and healing for those in need, and challenges those in power to use that power in the service of justice and love
• (Drescher, 127)

What is required?• Back to: WHAT DO YOU WANT TO ACHIEVE?• What feels ‘acceptable’ as a starting point?
– Platform?– Frequency?– Personal/Organisational?– Shared?
• What will your “KPIs” look like? Can such things be defined in numbers?
• Sustained is better than ‘energy burst’ followed by ‘dead space’…
