Social success - the keys to engaging people on Twitter and Facebook 28 April...Bryony Taylor
The way we socialise, shop, learn and relax has changed beyond all recognition since the advent of the World Wide Web two-decades ago, and the pace of change only seems to quicken. The digital revolution has now entered an increasingly social and mobile phase, and as it does we face new opportunities and challenges as Christians and as churches.
The New Media Centre of Excellence was founded to help fully equip the Christian community to be ‘salt and light’ in the digital world. This presentation was part of the FREE training day held in Leeds on 28th April 2012.
The day was aimed at those in church leadership and individuals who want to harness the power of new and emerging media for the kingdom of God.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.
2 Peter 3: Because some scriptures are hard to understand and some will force them to say things God never intended, Peter warns us to take care.

In church ministry think:

Facebook groups – can be private
Think: use a Page for outreach and Groups for
organisation, specific groups & pastoral care

it on her phone.
How could you engage her through social
media?
http://bryonytaylor.com
18. Scenario 2:
You are running an Alpha course at church.
A number of the participants use social
media.
How could you use social media both to
advertise the course and keep in touch with
participants?
http://bryonytaylor.com

You have a board at the back of church
where people can put prayer requests.

20. 5 marks of mission – how do these
bear out in social media?

Teach, baptise and nurture new believers
To respond to human need by loving service

21. Tips for getting started
• Don’t run before you can walk
• Find out where people are – who in your
church is using social media?
• Go where your congregation and
community are
• Use what you’re comfortable with
• If possible get a current user to manage
your social media accounts
• If you set up a social media account be
sure someone is responsible for it – you
can’t create something and then leave it
http://bryonytaylor.com
22. Tips for getting started
• Once you have accounts, put links on
your church noticeboard, posters and on
your newsletter
• Encourage visitors to go to your social
media accounts (blog, twitter, facebook)
• Consider how you can use your social
media with different groups you run at
church – eg. Mother and toddler
groups, Alpha etc.
