Make it easier for your church body to communicate and connect with each other 7 days a week.
Social technologies provide opportunities for churches to better connect, engage, equip, and mobilize the body of Christ for the work of the gospel. It's a way to extend the love of Jesus to more and more people, and it should be embraced as an essential part of modern-day ministry.
Our social networking platform is not just a trendy bit of features or lines of code. It is a serious tool for the serious work of equipping and empowering communities of believers to live more fully in the reality of their identity as Christ’s body, knowing, serving, and loving each other in the trials and joys of everyday life.

Building Disciples Through Engagement
Have you ever wondered, "Are things like Facebook helping or hurting ministry?" "How can my church connect in new meaningful ways?" or "What are the most popular community tools that are working?" This guide contains information about how some of the country’s top churches are using private social networks to engage more people more often.
Guidelines for Social Engagement
-
Set Goals
Goals will help you stay focused on what’s important. Set goals that are relationship-based, and not simply about the technology you use. -
Set Expectations
Engaging with social tools is not something you do a few times and expect to see amazing returns. Social engagement is about building relationships, and relationships take time. -
Set Limits
Don’t overextend yourself. You do not need profiles everywhere. Focus your efforts on the highest-impact, most relational venues, and you’ll get better results. -
Define Your Audience
Sure, social tools can give you a big megaphone to reach a big audience, but you need to make sure you focus on the right people.
