Creating a Facebook fan page for your church is pretty easy.
Facebook Fan Page
Facebook allows your church to connect with members and visitors. You can post your events, upload photos and videos, list new classes and engage in conversations.
First you have to have a personal account set up. Once that is set up click on this link and you will be taken to the Facebook page to start the set up process. Name the fan page. If available give it your church name, then select religious organization. Congratulations you now have a fan club. Next you’ll want to start putting in content.
Fan clubs
Now you are ready to set up the pages. The Wall should be the first tab to set up. Click on the settings and allow fans to post photos, videos, links and comments. If you get your church members involved this page will become an important element in reaching out to your community. Posts, pictures, videos that church members put up will show on their pages giving additional exposure to events going on at the church.
The next tab is the info page where you can put in your website, mission and other information.
There are two other standard tabs, photos and discussions. Next to that is a plus sign which will give you other options. The ones you will want to select are video and calendar. This will allow you to post all events that are going on at the church and also videos.
Now publish it and you are ready to start inviting members to join. Once you get 25 members you can request a custom URL. It would look like the following: www.facebook.com/YourChurchName. This will make it easy for people to find your church.
With the emergence of a new man in society, a man that is socially connected as well as positively empowered by God – we are bound to see a social renewal in every corner of the earth. This new man is and has been emerging.
Thanks for the direction on the Fan page URL. I did not know that! Thanks for the tip!
