INSTAGRAM IS THEFASTEST GROWING
SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM
So, what can your church post that will engage and inform the community? Here are some killer ways your
church can use Instagram.
GO BEHIND THE SCENESOne of the best ways to use Instagram is to let people catch a glimpse of all things that happen throughout the
week. People see your worship experience all the time but rarely get to see all the work that goes on behind the scenes.
SHARE SERMON QUOTES AND INSPIRATIONAt my church we do something called “The Big Idea.” Every week we share the one thing we want people to take with them throughout the week. Use Instagram along side apps like Wordswag or Over to send out some
inspirational quotes throughout the week.
INVITE TOOLCreate a graphic that is a simple invite to your services and ask others to repost it to their timeline.
VIDEO ANNOUNCEMENTThis is one of my favorite ways to use Instagram. You can use you iPhone or your professional equipment to
create a quick 15 second call to action!
HIGHLIGHT A VOLUNTEER
For most of our churches volunteers are the lifeblood of what we do week in and week out. Instagram’s visual interface is the perfect way to highlight the time your volunteers put in. Don’t forget to tag them so they see that they’ve been recognized.
TAKE YOUR CHURCH WITH YOUIf you or your staff ever go to conferences or meeting with other local pastors, Instagram allows you to show
your church what you are learning.
