Should your church have a blog?
There is no single answer to this question, as the decision of whether or not to establish a blog will depend on a variety of factors. However, there are a few considerations that should be taken into account when making this decision.
First and foremost, it is important to consider the purpose of a blog. If the blog is intended primarily as a communication tool for the church community, then there is little need for it to have any formal structure or governance.
On the other hand, if the blog is meant to serve as a resource for outsiders (e.g. potential parishioners, volunteers, donors), then it might benefit from having some formal structure and governance in place.
Another factor to consider when deciding whether or not to establish a blog is the size and scope of your church. If your church has a limited number of members and resources, then creating a blog may not be worth the investment.
Conversely, if your church has a large membership and many resources available (e.g. an online presence), then establishing a blog may be warranted.
Finally, it is important to consider the skills and resources available to you. If you are new to blogging, then establishing a blog may be more difficult than if you have experience setting up and managing a website.
Conversely, if your church already has an online presence (e.g. an official website), then establishing a blog may not require much additional effort on your part.
Ultimately, whether or not to establish a blog will depend on a variety of factors specific to your church’s situation and needs. However, these considerations should help guide you in making an informed decision about whether or not to create a blog for your congregation.
