There are a number of churches that are using twitter…but I haven’t seen any that are using it for leaders or groups to any extent. Canyon Ridge could be the first!

Mark,
I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately about using social networking better. We have a few ideas that are in the works, but I was hoping you could suggest a few churches that are using twitter effectively.
I’ve found that Granger and Mars Hill are using twitter…do you know of others, specifically to leaders/groups?

Thanks Alan! We probably need to have a cell phone class as a first step!

Mark,
Great post! These tools are exactly what we need to be using with our leaders and they in turn need to be using them with their groups.
I’m finding the need to train and coach my leaders on how to use social media and all things technical. Sometimes we are way out in front of our people. I had a guy ask me yesterday if his cell phone could send a text message and if so, would I show him how. That’s a far cry from using Tokbox.
Keep pushing the envelope!
Alan
