Your Ministry’s Online Communication Should Not Be Complicated...
But without an outside perspective, they can be overwhelming both for you to manage and for people trying to learn more about your faith community. So much is lost in the process…
- You lose new visitors who weren’t able to effectively connect with you
- You lose so much time trying to Google everything on your own
- You lose energy trying to guess which digital ministry steps you should take next.
- People lose faith in their community to adapt to the changing world
- Visitors lose the possibility of connecting with a community who truly cares
- Internet users lose the impact of the hope, healing and light you have to share

Sharing your ministry online isn’t as complicated as you think. You just need a guide. Get access to the DIY Digital Communications Review Course and excel far beyond “good enough.”
You have enough to do as a ministry leader besides learning the latest digital communication tools and tactics. Let us help!
Sometimes all it takes is an outside perspective of your digital ministry presence. Someone who isn’t involved in the day-to-day ministry, looking in to see an issue or miscommunication everyone else has missed.
With this course, we will not only walk you through some essential components of a robust digital communications review, but lift up real life progressive communities as examples along the way. Thank you to our willing participant churches – your vulnerability helps make this process possible!
One of our three objectives of this course is to challenge you toward more effective digital communication.
There will likely be a lot of easy tweaks for you to make as you walk through this course. Simple additions to your social profiles, minor changes to your website, apps to make your life easier.
But there are also bound to be some challenges in this course. New things are often uncomfortable. Including new apps, new platforms, new processes.
Some of this may be outside your comfort zone. We recognize that and will challenge you toward it anyway.
We will also encourage you with this course. We will encourage you to make the most out of the work you are already doing. Yes, a new focus on digital ministry is going to alter your ministry schedule no matter what. However, much of the work you are already doing can be repurposed and transformed online.
Digital ministry doesn’t necessarily mean added hours on top of what you are already doing. Some of your ministry may just be shifted, improved even, with a digital element.
Together, alongside our three participant communities, we will walk through these modules to help you refine your community’s digital communications.
