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?
