How to Keep Up With Church Social Media Without Doing It Yourself

Jun 7

Social media is one of the most powerful ways churches can:

✅ Reach their community
✅ Engage members
✅ Share the Gospel online

But let’s be honest: most pastors and church leaders simply don’t have time to:

❌ Write posts
❌ Create graphics
❌ Manage comments
❌ Stay consistent across platforms

And if your church’s social media is inconsistent or neglected, you’re not alone — it’s one of the top pain points we hear from pastors.

The good news? You don’t have to do it all yourself.

A Church Virtual Assistant can take church social media off your plate — freeing you to focus on people, not platforms.

Why Church Social Media Matters More Than Ever

Today, when someone is looking for a church, the first place they check is:

👉 Your website
👉 Your social media

If your pages are outdated, inactive, or poorly managed, you could be missing opportunities to connect with visitors — and encourage current members.

But staying consistent on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and more takes time — and most pastors already have a full plate.
