3 Ways to Communicate Without a Website

Your Church's website might be the most important communication tools you have at your disposal. It is often called "the front door" of your Church for people looking for more information before that attend in person. It communicates what your Church is about and shows people through videos and pictures what people experience at Church. In addition, what makes a website very valuable is that it is completely owned by you. You pay for it and you control what is and is not shown. But what happens when your website goes down?

Minions and the Power of TikTok

On July 1st, Minions: Rise of Gru [https://youtu.be/6DxjJzmYsXo] was released. This is the fifth installment of the very successful "Despicable Me" franchise. However, this is the first of these movies that have come out since the pandemic and just a few weeks after the highly publicized "Lightyear" film dramatically underperformed in the theaters. The big question is, how would it do? That question was answered rather quickly as it CRUSHED box office numbers. Not only did it beat "Lightyear" (which underperformed dramatically), but it broke other records on its' way to over $200 million worldwide it's very first weekend. While the movie is very good, getting very positive reviews, others are pointing to TikTok for its success. That's right, a TikTok trend had young people going to the movie in droves.

episode 3 Ways Online Ministry Can Jumpstart Your Church this Summer cover

3 Ways Online Ministry Can Jumpstart Your Church this Summer

Normally, during the summer, attendance at Churches and ministry events go down. Why? It is normally because people are traveling with school being out. Summer is the perfect time for traveling as families go on vacations and kids go to camps. And, considering that families may not have traveled much in the past few years, they may be itching to get away for a few days or weeks. Despite what the numbers and trends may be, I would argue that summer is actually the perfect time to jumpstart your online ministry. How so? Watch the video [https://youtu.be/mKJv_S0eS34], listen to the audio or read the bullet points below to see what you can do. 1. Connect with Summer Travelers. 2. Start a Digital Missionary Group. 3. Provide Discipleship Resources. People may not come to in person Church as much this summer, but that doesn't mean they wouldn't be going to church at all. Utilize your online ministry to connect with summer travelers and mobilize a whole new missionary group to reach people this summer. The more you can take initiative and use your online ministry this summer, the more likely you will keep your summer travelers connected and hopefully connect new people to your Church or ministry. ACTION STEPS: * What do you think? What other ways can online ministry can jumpstart your Church this summer? Share below or on social media. * Join the Digital Bootcamp Facebook Group [https://www.facebook.com/groups/theDigitalBootcamp/] to learn how to be more effective using digital tools for your ministry join the group.

episode 3 Ways to Digitally Train Volunteers cover

3 Ways to Digitally Train Volunteers

When I was starting out in youth ministry back in the last 90s (yes, quite a number of years ago), there was one way to receive training. That was to receive in person training. You could go to a place and receive training in a conference type setting or you could do training with your team at your Church or building. Bottom line is that to get the training, it had to be in person. While this was the most common way to get training the problem with this is that if you couldn't meet up in person, you couldn't get the training. But that has changed now. Technology has enabled us to train volunteers even when we can't all be together. Here are 3 ways you can digitally train volunteers today. Zoom Training.  On Demand Training.  Online Training via a Separate Organization.  ACTION STEPS: * What do you think? What are other ways to digitally train volunteers? Share your ideas below or on social media. * Join the Digital Bootcamp Facebook Group [https://www.facebook.com/groups/theDigitalBootcamp/] to learn how to be more effective using digital tools for your ministry join the group. This is for ALL Ministers, not just Church Communicators or Social Media Managers. * If you are in Digital Ministry, be part of the Digital Ministry Twitter Community.
