Three Approaches for a Healthy Online Church
I do want to back up to a 30,000-foot view. There are three approaches for online church or expressing your church’s paradigm using the internet. Your church should consider all three strategies when making decisions from investing in a social media presence or why to launch a stream on Facebook. It all needs to connect to your church’s goals, and high-level conversations with leadership need to happen for success to clearly be defined.
Podcast: Honest Conversation About Microsites Linked To #ChurchOnline
I had a great conversation with Jeff Reed and Rey De Armas on The Church Digital Podcast. I talk about restarting our microsite strategy connected to our online ministry. Share ups and downs over the years with extensions, gatherings, and anywhere locations. I even give a glimpse of our new approach and questions still needing answers. You will tell quickly it's a pretty raw episode — no holding back. Please don't make my mistakes by listening to the podcast.
