7 Things Every Pastor Should Do Every Week on Social Media

3. Bite-Sized Sermon.

One of the social media “primetimes” is early in the morning. Your people are checking in as they get ready in the morning. Share with them a quick quote from what you read that morning to help focus them for the day. [Morning time is prime time!]

4. Post a “Behind the Scenes” Pic.

You get to see some pretty cool stuff as a church leader that your people would love to see. The worship team praying back stage before a service. The youth band rehearsing. Elders meetings. (Ok … maybe not that one.) Keep an eye out for something that your people might want to see!

5. Encourage Other Pastors.

Who are some other pastors that you follow? Let your people know and take some time to publicly thank them for their ministry to you. It shows unity in the body and models a healthy respect for leadership. [Honor leadership.]

6. Ask for Feedback.

Are you working on your message for this weekend and are stuck at a point in your prep? Why not ask your social networks for some feedback? Interact with folks as they leave comments or input. [Some marketplace examples.]

7. Dip Into the Stream.

Set aside some time every day this week to just wade into your social networks for a period of time. Read what people are writing about. Ask people questions. Interact. Retweet. Even 15 minutes a day will give you incredible insights.
