1. RESOURCEF
Twitter — 23% of all internet users/20% of entire adult population
Some 23% of all online adults use Twitter, a proportion that is identical to the 23% of online adults who did so in
September 2014. Internet users living in urban areas are more likely than their suburban or rural counterparts to use
Twitter. Three-in-ten online urban residents use the site, compared with 21% of suburbanites and 15% of those living
in rural areas. Twitter is more popular among younger adults — 30% of online adults under 50 use Twitter, compared
with 11% of online adults ages 50 and older. (http://www.pewinternet.org/2015/08/19/the-demographics-of-social-
media-users/)
Twitter would be a great avenue for our staff and leaders to use to connect to other church members
and our community as well as be a link to our Facebook page. Twitter has a younger audience than
Facebook.
Devotionals, short invitations to special services can be easily shared on Facebook from Twitter. I believe
Green Pines would benefit from sending ‘tweets’ (Twitter messages), from our members (our birds) we
are Green Pines aren’t we?
This younger generation will be more inclined to respond to and receive dialogue from Twitter than
from Facebook, where we post events and other ‘housework’ Twitter would be the arena for each leader,
staff to have their separate account and then maybe weekly or monthly rotate popular posts or video
straight to Facebook and vice versa. We can share these individual Twitter accounts on our church
website where we now have a description of each church staff member. Twitter hashtags #GPBC could
even be utilized in graphics during Sunday Morning worship………..eventually
Facebook — 72% of adult internet users/62% of entire adult population
Fully 72% of online American adults use Facebook, a proportion unchanged from September 2014.
Usage continues to be especially popular among online women, 77% of whom are users. In addition,
82% of online adults ages 18 to 29 use Facebook, along with 79% of those ages 30 to 49, 64% of those
ages 50 to 64 and 48% of those 65 and older. (http://www.pewinternet.org/2015/08/19/the-

OPENCHURCH.COM
Open Church is an intersection of people, resources, and research. We do two simple things. First, we create and
manage a database directory of people, resources, and data. We cannot collaborate without awareness of what
others are doing. The database directory’s role in the Body of Christ is like a digestive system extracting nutrients.
Second, Open Church increases access to the database by creating common approaches to cataloging, licensing,
archiving, distribution, and technology. In the Body of Christ, these standardizations are like a cardiovascular system
transporting the extracted nutrients to the parts of the body that will benefit from them. Our goal for 2015 is to
develop the database directory, create new resource licenses, and solidify a team to lead the initiative and train
volunteers.
