Cris Cazarine - Why Your Church Needs a Social Media Ministry (And How to Start One)
In this presentation, Cris Cazarine shares why social media should no longer be viewed as a distraction or an optional ministry tool but as a mission field where people are already searching for connection and hope. Drawing from her own experience planting a church during the pandemic, she explains how an authentic online presence can build trust, create meaningful relationships, and open doors for discipleship long before someone ever visits a church. Rather than using social media as a digital bulletin board, she challenges church leaders to use it as a space to listen, engage, and genuinely care for people.
