Social media has become a medium for empowering individuals to like and share the things they believe in. We live in a world that is more connected than ever before. Understanding that everyone on earth is connected in some way, within six degrees of separation, will be an important stepping stone in our thinking about social media. Your church now has the power to reach people in large connected networks which include groups of family members and friends. These are the people that are most important and most influential in lives of your church’s current members and their extended online network.

One of the main reasons why western religion has succeeded so greatly to this day is because it has always taken advantage of emerging technologies.... The medium isn’t the message; it’s the medium that you use to communicate the message. In the 1500s, we saw the printing press emerge, and bibles were being printed for the first time in history. We saw an explosion of what was being made available in written form, with new translations that were suddenly available all over the world.... Over the past 100 years, we have churches moving on to the radio with the early evangelical churches that have now moved into TV and televangelism...and now today we are moving into a new form of communication, where you can distribute your message on digital platforms using social media.

The churches that are the most successful and most resonate with people are the ones delivering their message in the places that people are listening. Those who are producing content in a form that is consumable and makes sense in the day and age that we live in will be prospering from the fruits of new communication pathways.
