Center for Progressive Renewal

Social media provides an opportunity for congregations to open the doors and windows to their congregational life before people ever step inside. It's no longer all about getting your message out as if people are passively waiting for the latest news from the parish, diocese, or national church. Rather, it's about creating spaces where meaningful relationships can develop.

In this webinar Keith Anderson will talk about what churches need to know about social media. Click 2 Save: The Digital Ministry Bible, Keith's new book, is a practical resource guide for religious leaders who want to enrich and extend their ministries using digital media like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and church or personal blogs. An ideal companion to Tweet If You Heart Jesus: Practicing Church in the Digital Reformation (Morehouse, 2011), Click 2 Save draws on extensive research and practical experience in church and other ministry settings to provide functional, how-to guidance on effectively using social networking sites in the day-to-day context of ministry.

Keith Anderson is the co-author of Click 2 Save (with Elizabeth Drescher) and is the pastor of the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer near Boston. A popular blogger on religion, new media, and popular culture at pastorkeithanderson.net, he employs a wide range of social media to minister on and offline. Pastor Anderson speaks regularly with local and national church groups, synods, and other organizations on the practice of digital ministry and the impact of digital culture on face-to-face ministry.

Cost: $9.99
