Navigating Social Media for Ministry Embrace the Digital Age with Confidence
Social media can be an intimidating frontier, especially if you’re new to it. However, it holds incredible potential for ministry, offering new ways to connect with your congregation and the broader community. We recognize both the challenges and the opportunities that social media presents for church leaders.
That’s why we’ve developed two essential courses on CHURCHx to help you navigate this digital landscape: Social Media 101: Running and Growing Social Channels and Social Media 101: Platforms & Possibilities.
Social Media 101: Platforms & Possibilities
Led by digital marketing expert Tim Campbell-Smith, explores the major social media platforms, helping you understand their unique features and possibilities for ministry.
What You’ll Learn:

Tim Campbell-Smith is so extroverted he puts the social back in social media. Tim’s love language is local restaurants, and Time Magazine describes him as “someone we’ve literally never heard of.” Having a passionate love affair with Pinterest, Tim’s dogs Scout and Milo describe him as a “snazzy guy who’s pretty good at digital marketing.”
