- These social media tools can be invaluable resources for connecting with members, visitors and seekers online. Establishing a group on a social networking site for your local church greatly increases your church’s visibility on the Internet. With a social networking group hosted by your church, you can include links to your church’s Web site or e-mail address, upload videos of sermons, share upcoming events and enlist others in causes sponsored by your church. The key to a successful social networking in churches is to maintain active interaction among group members. To accomplish this, you must infuse the group with relevant, timely information and moderate discussions to keep them focused, supportive and appropriate. With careful attention and a little time, your church’s social networking group can become a growing, vibrant place to developing meaningful connections that transform lives.
- Jesus was the first to use social networking effectively. He definitely understood the power of word of mouth, and he valued the viral—or infectious—nature of friends and family sharing the good news and bringing others to a life-transforming faith in God. If you remember Luke 10, Jesus even sent people out in pairs to spread the gospel. They told two friends, and so on … and so on. John Wesley also used the power of social networks to build the Methodist movement in America through organizing small bands of followers into class meetings and using circuit riders to spread God’s word. With Facebook Pages, your church can have its own professional presence without being created as a group under an individual’s profile. People become “fans” of your page and can interact in much the same way as groups. To learn more about Facebook Pages, visit the Facebook website.On Facebook alone, more than 500 United Methodist groups reach tens of thousands of people.
- The United Methodist Church now relies heavily on the Internet and Social Media tools. Here’s the new homepage for the Rethink Church movement. Notice the interactive elements on this web page.

Conduct contests, quizzes and polls. Create a prayer chain and praise reports. Introduce the weekend’s upcoming Sunday school lesson or sermon. Get quick feedback about an idea or question
