Social networks are a way for volunteers and attendees to share their enthusiasm for the ministry of City First Church. They can become a very powerful tool, but they can also produce unintentional harm. Most of this harm comes from the fact that often they are seen as “official” communication tools to others. That married with the fact that we don’t have control over what is posted can lead to a hijacked communications plan.
When it comes to these networks, we ask for your help in two ways:
- Guide your volunteer’s energy into established City First Church social networks. If your ministry has one, get them involved. If you don’t have one, pass them on to the Creative Director’s office. They will work to get them plugged into our City First Church social networks. Do not encourage them to start new networks without talking to the Creative Team.
- If the network has already been established, please notify the Creative Director’s office immediately. They will work with them to communicate that the network is a “Fan of City First Church” network and not an official City First Church social network.
