Today I came away with this collective thought – “Creatives in ministry are story tellers using technology.  Not for technologies sake but for Christ. So use the technology to create and deliver your ministry story to the culture (not the church!)”.  Thanks to those who invested their time in our ministries today.  Excellence – which Christ deserves – Amen!

Social Media ROI Confirmed

This article confirms what many are experiencing in ministry as well. There is no doubt that your audience, followers and ministry can grow and build recognition and dialogue through social media. Your conversation should no longer be if… but when – and that should be now. Go here to read the entire article.

Social media for ministry

Speaking to worship and technology leaders on Saturday at Church Music Ga about Digital Media in Ministry.  Came up with this analogy…

A church website would be compared to the church building.  You can find information there about all the ministries and goings on regarding the church as a whole.  A facebook page is like the Sr. Pastor, on his fb page you can find out information about him, his friends and family and what he is passionate about.  And finally, Twitter is like the sign and marquee out by the road.  You share short statements about what is going on with the pastor and within the church and direct people to important events to get them to visit the church or Sr. Pastor.

I guess the point is, when a church leader asks if they should Tweet in Twitter – ask if their church has a sign or marquee in front of their church building…  Your thoughts and comments are appreciated.

We’ll cover the web, social media, ministry branding, media related equipment and the use of audio, video and lighting in a variety of small to large worship areas.  Info will be designed to erupt your thinking and shake you out of that same’ol-same’ol stale attitude that can sometimes creep into weekly worship service planning.

Our mission is to provide information that will enhance a worship experience or teaching of the Word.  As with any media ministry, our goal is to focus on technology that seamlessly fits so as not to distract from the message.  As we all know, if media is a distraction it has not been executed properly.

We’ve got lots to share in so many areas we’ll do our best to keep you up on all we can related to digital technology in ministry.  Stay tuned for more info…  Please go ahead and follow me on facebook, twitter or linkedin to get a jump on new postings.  Again, welcome to our new blog and thanks for following.
