The 5 Biggest Mistakes Churches Make with Streaming

In my conversations with church leaders, many are frustrated with their streaming and social media results.  I have discovered it really is all about having a strategy.  Successful churches have a plan and roadmap. Here’s why not having a strategy for church video streaming and social media can be detrimental:

  • Wasted Resources: Without a plan, you might invest time and energy into content that doesn’t resonate with your target audience or use platforms that aren’t reaching the right people.
  • Missed Opportunities: Social media and streaming are powerful tools for outreach and engagement. Without a strategy, you might miss opportunities to connect with new people or deepen relationships with existing members.
  • Inconsistent Messaging: A haphazard approach can lead to a disjointed message across platforms. A clear strategy ensures your message is consistent and targeted.
  • Limited Growth: Without defined goals and ways to measure success, it’s hard to track progress or know if your efforts are paying off.
  • Feeling Discouraged: Floundering without a plan can lead to frustration and a sense that your online efforts aren’t working.

The good news is these mistakes can be turned around! But what’s the answer? How do I develop a strategy that leads to success?
