Now is the time to grow a healthy, thriving youth ministry...if you'd like to work with us, check out GrowYourYouthMinistry.com *** In this episode, we take a look at the top mistakes that youth pastors make when making their youth ministry website and social media accounts. One of your main goals for your student ministry website should be: remove the barriers between your youth group and the families you're trying to reach.
From years of "secret shopping" church websites, we reveal the common mistakes that create unnecessary hurdles for parents and students trying to connect with your ministry. We walk through exactly what information needs to be prominently displayed on your website and social media bios so that a newcomer can easily figure out how to get involved.
Beyond just the technical aspects, we address the deeper issue of church trust-building through your online presence. Many parents approach youth ministry with caution, especially if they've had negative church experiences in their past. Your transparent, accessible online presence can be the first step in establishing the trust needed for them to entrust their children to your care.
Whether you're managing your church's main website, a dedicated youth ministry site, or social media accounts, you'll gain practical insights that you can implement immediately to create a more welcoming, accessible student ministry.
