Facebook, twitter & more for churches

Weekly Web Tip from Friends of Ministry

Twitter Your Way to a More Prosperous Ministry

---

Facebook… twitter… LinkedIn… unitysocial.com… 

You hear about these online social networks nearly every day, and if you’re not using them you’re probably wondering if you should be.

 

The answer is an unqualified “yes.” Through social networks, the internet has provided very powerful new tools that churches and alternative ministries can use to gain greater insight into their members and reach out to people in their communities who are hungry for their message but don’t know where to find it. 

 

But where to start?

 

For ministers, churches and alternative ministries not already using social networks to grow their ministries, we have scheduled an introduction to social networking webinar.

 

All you need to join the webinar is a computer with a high-speed internet connection and a phone.

 

In a two-hour session, we will cover the basics:

• How to sign up for Facebook, LinkedIn, twitter and unitysocial.com

• How to set up a Facebook “fan club” for your ministry

• How to use all four networks to promote Sunday services, concerts, classes, workshops and more

• How thousands of churches (including dozens of Unity churches) already are using social networks as a key component of their outreach and marketing

 

We’ll also provide a “cheat sheet” you can use to get started, and we’ll have time for questions and answers.

 

The webinar is scheduled for Wednesday, May 27 at 10 am Pacific, 1 pm Eastern, and will last two hours. You’ll need to be at your PC or Mac to access the webinar. If you do not have a microphone/headset that plugs into your computer, you’ll be able to participate by phone. (Long-distance charges will apply.)

 

Access to this webinar is limited, and advance registration is required. To guarantee your reservation, go to Friends of Ministry’s online store, here: http://www.friendsofministry.com/tp40/Application.asp?app=Store&ID=13206 and sign up.

 

Two days before the webinar, we will send you an email with a link for webinar access and specific instructions.
