Why A Church Social Media Manager Can Help
                     Why A Church Social Media Manager Can Help
A church must consider investing in a solid Church Social Media Manager if it desires a comprehensive online 
presence. One of the most effective ways to interact with church members and potential members is through 
blogs, articles, podcasts, events, and more. However, each form of communication carries its own set of 
unique challenges. A Church Social Media Manager can manage all forms of communication to better connect 
with church members and increase membership numbers. The role of a Church Social Media Manager is to 
engage members of the church staff and congregation through various traditional and online means, and 
promote the good news of the gospel among those who are not yet members.
If you are considering a career as a church social media manager, you should be skilled in several areas. The 
key to being a successful church social media manager includes being organized, having a passion for the 
work, and being able to effectively communicate both within the church itself and with those who are outside 
the church. The primary function of a church social media manager is to engage individuals in the church 
through blogging, article promotion, podcasts, events and more.
The members of a church are very important to the overall success of a church. As such, a good church social 
media manager will need to be able to effectively manage their online social presence. The members of the 
church staff should be encouraged to blog about the church, events, or any other newsworthy items that they 
can relate to or read about in their daily church reading. The blogs should also be easy to navigate and include 
graphics and links that will keep the reader involved. If the church website already exists, a social media 
manager should update and enhance the existing website to keep up with the increasing number of visitors to 
the church website.
A good church social media manager will have an idea of what the demographics of the church are and how to
reach out to these individuals. While many churches focus on a specific area of faith, it can still be helpful to 
reach out to members outside of the faith as well. This is important because outreach is one of the major 
purposes of churches and a good way to accomplish this is through social networking. Having members who 
are not necessarily Christian but who are familiar with church history can make them more comfortable about 
attending church.
Another duty of a church social media manager is ensuring that all church events are being covered by their 
social network. There is a lot of controversy these days surrounding certain church activities and these events 
should be highlighted in order to create a buzz about the church. The social networks are an effective way of 
reaching out to people who may not be familiar with the specifics of your faith. They can also provide a means 
for you to interact with current church members.
If you are looking for a great job that will allow you to spread the word of God through the internet then a 
church social media manager could be perfect for you. As a former community organizer, I had a chance to 
work with some amazing groups of people. Through the power of social networking and interactive forums, I 
was able to connect with people who shared similar interests. I believe that a church should utilize every tool 
that they have at their disposal in order to grow their organization and spread the message of thy Lord 
through these members.
