]]> Comment on Does your church have a digital advocate? by Clyde Taber http://www.internetevangelismday.com/blog/archives/6573/comment-page-1#comment-3854 Clyde Taber Fri, 27 Jan 2012 00:52:43 +0000 http://www.internetevangelismday.com/blog/?p=6573#comment-3854 Tony, Good concept. The only examples I've seen are larger churches who have hired staff to specialize in a media related role and who understand the digital world that comes with it. This model is limited to a very few churches able to afford the model (it appears Kathy's church stopped funding the position). I'll be honest, though I'm reasonably tech savvy, it becomes an issue of time. So, I hired a 17 year old friend of my son for 4-5 hours / week at $10/hour to take on certain responsibilities for VSN in this domain. It's working quite well actually. Tony,

Even a Facebook page for a brief online presence for the youth group. I like the title you have come up with for the leader in this role. The pastor is very anti-texting and Facebook but about 75% of the congregation are already friends with each other and very active on FB. There is constant desire for greater online presence that would set the church apart and be more inviting and reflective of our values but finances are always an issue.
