Growing Your Church Using Social Media
Hello Family,
In order to reach more people, we have to go where the people are. Here are 5 Reasons you should use social media to grow your church. I follow that with how you can do it easily. If you are not on Facebook, today consider joining to help your church grow.
1. 5 Reasons Church Members Should Contribute to Church Growth Through Social Media (Even If They Don’t Like It)
“Go into all the world and preach the gospel…” — and today, “the world” is online.
1. It’s Modern Evangelism
Social media is the new street corner, town square, and missionary field. When you share a sermon clip or testimony, you’re planting gospel seeds in places you may never go physically.
2. It’s Free and Effortless Outreach
You don’t need to preach, teach, or go door to door. A simple "Like," "Comment," or "Share" can put the message in front of hundreds of people in seconds. It's like outreach on autopilot.
3. It’s a Way to Support the Vision
You may not be a preacher or singer, but you can amplify the message. Sharing is how you “add your voice” to the church’s voice — and help us reach the lost, the lonely, and the looking.
4. Your Faith Walk Can Inspire Others
People follow you—not just the church page. Your repost of a devotional or clip might be the only spiritual message someone sees all week. You’re a digital disciple.
5. You Don’t Have to Be on Social Media All the Time to Be Effective
Even one weekly post, comment, or share makes a big difference. You don’t have to love social media — just be willing to use it for the Kingdom. Think of it as your “online amen.”
