Keeping your congregation and community up-to-date with the latest news at your church is important, but eventually you will find yourself running out of things to say. Do not panic when this happens! Just like writer’s block, content block is totally normal. Here are social media post ideas for churches to help guide you through your content block.
1 - Have a church member share their testimony (this makes excellent reel content!). 2 - Post a quote from your pastor. 3 - Share the staff member’s favorite Bible verses. 4 - Show the behind the scenes of an event setup or worship practice. 5 - Ask personal questions. Example - What are you doing this weekend? What did you learn from your Bible reading today? 6 - Create a fun interactive poll. 7 - Give a tour of your church via reel or live. 8 - Share your church’s history.
