Friday: Community Highlight
Shine the spotlight on someone in your congregation or a ministry event.

Tip: Use a photo and a short quote to make it personal.
These stories breathe life into your mission and show faith in action.
Saturday: Weekend Reminder
Give a friendly nudge about Sunday services or small groups.
-
Example: “Join us tomorrow at 10am for worship and teaching on hope. All are welcome!”
-
Tip: Include service times and a welcoming photo.
Saturdays are practical reminders that help people plan attendance.
Sunday: Worship Moment
Post a worship clip, a quote from the sermon, or ask a simple question about the message.

This keeps the conversation going beyond Sunday morning.

Tips for Making Church Social Media Outreach Manageable
Consistency matters more than perfection. Here are a few tips for keeping this plan doable:
-
Plan your posts on Friday or Saturday for the week ahead.
-
Use a scheduling tool so posts go out automatically.
-
Involve volunteers who enjoy social media.
-
Keep captions short and visuals simple.
Even a small team can maintain an active presence with these practices.
Measuring What Matters
Don’t get caught up in vanity metrics. Instead of chasing likes and heart emojis, watch for:
-
Comments and shares from your local community
-
Direct messages asking about services or prayer
-
New followers from your area
-
People attending events after seeing your posts
Engagement that leads to real connection is your best sign of healthy church social media outreach.
Church Social Media Outreach – Purpose in Every Post
Church social media outreach isn’t about trending topics or going viral. It’s about creating touchpoints of grace and hope (1 Peter 1:3) throughout the week, reinforcing your message, and inviting people into relationship with your church and with God. A simple weekly plan keeps your voice consistent, authentic, and aligned with your mission. Take fifteen minutes this week to map out next week’s posts using the template above. Start small, stay steady, and watch how consistency deepens your digital ministry.
