Prayer Prompts – Encourage your followers to pray for the church or specific needs in the community.
Events – These are great to let others know what is about to happen at the church. However, they can also be used to share pics of the great things that have happened.
Your Church Services – Share invites to your services. Also, share pics of greeters, kid’s classes in action, someone singing a special, and people studying God’s Word.
Use Hashtags – Hashtags might seem stupid. However, they are important. Create a custom hashtag for others to use, such as #bbcyourcityname. Create hashtags for special events such as #bbc2020vbs.
Search for Examples – Go and checkout the posts that others you respect are posting. Look to see what kind of posts they are using to fulfill their purpose. You can learn a lot from others.
Help with Posting – There are free sites such as Hootsuite that help you post your social media. You can post 30 posts at one time that are scheduled to go out when you want them to. You can have three social media accounts linked. This would cover your Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram accounts.
