    Sep 24 2025

    Smaller churches have a unique edge on social media — one that actually becomes more powerful the smaller your church is. It's a feature that can completely transform the way you approach social. And here's the kicker: bigger churches don't really have access to it.

    Sep 17 2025

    Small churches actually have a big advantage on social media — as long as they're not trying to copy bigger ones. The secret is in what you measure. Forget likes and followers. There are two other metrics that matter far more, and they're the key to thriving on social as a smaller church.
