Welcome to the Congregational Federation's Social Media website. We hope that on these pages you'll find information and resources to equip your church. We will be highlighting issues around websites and social media, providing how-to articles and links to get you started.
Does your church have a website? Are you thinking of creating one or overhauling your current one?
We have some ideas to help you creatively think about the best options for your church and your setting.
We have advice to avoid the pitfalls ... suggestions to help make it an easy and enjoyable experience ... and plenty of examples of good practice.
Many church members are on Facebook these days. Is your church? You could create a page to connect with those members, to share photo's of church events, to publicise activities at your church and in your area.
See how some other Congregational Churches are using Facebook here.
What is Twitter all about? It seems to get a lot of negative publicity, so is it worth bothering with? Should churches have a Twitter Feed, or is it geared more to individuals? Would it take up too much more of your precious time?
We run the debate and bring you some helpful tips and guides.
