Conversation Starters
Churches should dedicate one post per week to creating conversations with their followers.
This content type will help your church build stronger relationships with your followers, resulting in greater trust and brand loyalty.
Pro Tip: respond to each comment (ignore tolls and bots) within 24hrs. Use their responses as research for future content ideas, church events, etc.
Sample Conversation Starters

Entertaining Videos
ICYMI: The church can have fun on social media too! These creative videos are enjoyable to make, and your audience will love seeing your church’s lighter side. Here are four content ideas that have performed well on social media:
Church Content
Favorite Memories
Ask your audience to share their favorite church memories.
Simple Idea: Video record their responses and post them to social media. In the caption, invite people to make new memories at your church.
Advanced Idea: Write down their responses, find a photo that best represents each experience, and share it with their testimony in the caption. End the caption with a Sunday invite.
Now & Then
Share a photo of your church - one from the past and one from the present. Include scripture or a message about Kingdom growth.
Suggested Passages:
Behind The Scenes
Share behind-the-scenes moments of your teams preparing for an event. Include a registration link in the caption, and don’t forget to tag local community partners to increase your reach.
Praise Report
Share a praise report and invite followers to share their own answered prayers in the comments. Here’s a great example of this from Harris Creek Baptist Church.
Worship Set List
Create a YouTube playlist of the worship songs from Sunday’s service. Update it weekly and share the link to the playlist during your Sunday announcements, and across social media. In the caption, encourage your followers to continue their praise and worship throughout the week.

Adoption Story
Share a story of an adoptive parent’s. If your church has an foster care or adoption ministry, let followers know how they can get involved or support this ministry.
Discipleship Content

Explain the difference between the different Bible studies. Try being creative like this example from Church Communications.
Political Season
Share an encouraging word during tense political seasons. Remind your followers that God is still in control.
Advent
Introduce Advent to your followers. Explain what it is, how your church is participating, and what people can do from home during the season.

Encourage your pastor to share a Bible passage and a few words on thankfulness.
Describe Heaven
Video record members of all ages sharing what they think Heaven will look like. Here’s an example from Willow Creek Community Church.

Community
Election Season
Share a list of local polling stations in your community during election season.
Veteran’s Day
Show how your church is honoring veterans, and share ways others can do the same all month long.
Diabetes Awareness

Host an online life group fair. Each week, feature a different group and explain how people can sign up. Vary the format by alternating between photos and videos.
