My Facebook Plan for 2012

January 9, 2012 in tampa church, Vision, What kind of church with Comments Off

I have been active on Facebook for years and I want to be more strategic in 2012.  I want my personal account and Church at the Bay account to be a place to find wisdom and be encouraged.  I/We am/are doing several things in 2012 that, to be honest, need your help to succeed.  Here are the plans:

 

Wisdom for the Week

Each Monday morning I will make a post asking you to comment with verses that help you focus your week or encourage you to go strong.  The verses you post may be ones that you have memorized or came to “life” from your time with the Lord.  So on Monday’s especially- I need you to stop by my Facebook page and give us all your verse.  And, if we are not Friends on Facebook- hit me up, I would love the connection.

 

Daily Verses from my Quiet Time

Each day (that is my plan) I will post a verse on Facebook that God used to speak to me in my time with Him.  I have been spending time daily with God for over 30 years.  A friend of mine in college challenged me to start- and he was right- God used it to change my life.  So my verses may or may not fit your “moment” but I want to be transparent with some of the things God is teaching me.  The outcome I hope will be more people spending Time with God on a daily basis.

 

Encourage People to “Like” us on Church at the Bay’s Facebook page

Our hope is to make this page a daily conversation about what God is doing at CATB and answer questions you may have.  So if you are not yet a friend- go here and hit us up on the “Like” button.  In 2012 we want to help you use Facebook as a tool to invite and connect your friends to CATB and hopefully Jesus Christ.

 

Enlist a Facebook Team at Church at the Bay

I want to enlist a group of people to help Church at the Bay be strategic on a daily basis with Facebook.  No I don’t want you to start spamming people’s pages!  What if- you made “personal” invites with video and or articles that we post that your friend might be interested in?  Then every week this group would make at least 3 personal Facebook invites.  This action could prove to be life changing for your friends.  Sound interesting?  Watch for more….

 

Whatever it Takes!

Happy 2012! I love New Year’s, fresh starts and challenge!  We are starting this New Year with a message series called- WHATEVER IT TAKES!  If there is one phrase that defines our culture at Church at the Bay- WHATEVER IT TAKES may be it!  We will do whatever it takes (short of sin) to reach people for Christ and help believer’s take their next step with Christ.  Our history has shown that we are a WHATEVER IT TAKES kinda church!  We have had challenges and your response has always been… you guessed it- WHATEVER IT TAKES!

  • When we launched CATB I asked for 50 more volunteers and you responded in droves with – WHATEVER IT TAKES!
  • We added a service and the retort was – WHATEVER IT TAKES!
  • We needed to sponsor a Haitian Orphanage and CATB said – WHATEVER IT TAKES!
  • We have moved from a cafetorium to a gym to a school to another school and Church at the Bay exclaimed – WHATEVER IT TAKES!
  • We have raised money for equipment, church plants and disaster relief and our church has said every time – WHATEVER IT TAKES!

I think you get my drift- Church at the Bay will do WHATEVER IT TAKES short of sin to help people “know” Jesus Christ.

We are going to shake things up a little this new year in the arena of Partnership.  We will redefine what it means to be a Partner at Church at the Bay.  We will re-work the way people make a commitment to Partnership.  We are going to challenge you to stretch and engage your heart, mind and bodies in ministry.

So if you need to miss- I recommend it not be during the month of January 2012 because… Well you will need to attend to understand that!

I look forward to seeing you Sunday and please bring a friend… I promise the message will challenge you!

So what? How?

Social media is a bigger deal than most of us think.  As you watch this video how can WE? YOU? … leverage social media for the Kingdom of God.  I challenge you to consider the opportunities.

I want you to go to our Facebook page and write a recommendation for Church at the Bay.  If you look at the picture below you can see the spot where it says write a recommendation.  This is my reasoning:

  • This will post on your Facebook wall and you may peak your friends interest.
  • This will post on Church at the Bay’s Facebook page and new people can see if any of their friends have posted a comment or just read a recommendation or two.
  • So will you take 30 seconds?
