Churches and the way they do (or don’t) use social medial has been the topic of a few posts recently (Facebook, Angry Whoppers, and the Future of Social Media on January 23, and The Spiritual Discipline of Twittering). Social media is a big part of my life and I have invested much of my life/career in the Christian experience.
Collide Magazine recently asked people to respond how their church was utilizing texting and twittering. @mikeyanderson let Collide know that Mars Hills Church in Seattle had recently been featured on a local news broadcast because of their use of Twitter. You can check out the news video at www.king5.com
Mars Hills is not just using Twitter to send information and promotional material. Mars Hill encourages their people to twitter about the Mars Hill experience. Some Sunday Morning, you should do a Twitter search for #MHC and see what comes up.
What do you think? How could your church benefit from encouraging your people to twitter? Would your church even be open to this?
I wanted to update the look of epic…it was long overdue. In the process, I lost a lot of material, including most of the original posts and all of the comments. I am working on salvaging some, but I’m not sure what I will be able to resurrect from blogging Sheol. We’ll see. Please bare with me through this process, I think the finished product will be worth whatever hit I take in old content. Plus, it has caused me to keep a new system of backing up data. Feel free to give me feedback on the new stuff, and, if you’re feeling adventurous, revisit what old post are available and comment (or re:comment, whatever the case may be). Thanks for enduring!
