This document provides an orientation for a church's social media ministry. It discusses building a virtual operations support team (VOST) of volunteers to assist with social media work. The document outlines what social media platforms the church wants to use, such as Facebook, Twitter, and blogs, to achieve goals like congregational communication and promoting church ministries. It also surveys attendees on their social media use and needs volunteers to manage the church's website, Facebook, Twitter, blog, live streams, videos and graphics.

that we all understand the
need to engage with social
media (as a church) at some
level and that it must be part
of an overall strategy to
multiply the gospel.

4. BUILDING A VOST
Virtual Operations Support Team
A VOST is a structured group of volunteers, who’s
location is irrelevant, who have been organized to
assist in providing virtual social media support, under
direction, for multiplying the gospel.

This is a new way as we move into Social
Media for the church and the gospel.

5. Social media are media for social
interaction, using highly accessible and

technologies to turn communication into
