Effective digital church communication is essential to staying connected with your congregation and reaching out to new people. There are a number of useful resources available online to get you started. This page is intended to signpost you to some of the most useful as you begin your church’s online journey.

The District employs a Digital Enabler, who is available to support you, your church and your circuit. For any digital enquiries, please contact Samuel Rimmer, our Digital Enabler. For communications enquiries, please contact Tori Allen, our Communications Officer.

Trying something new in the digital world can feel daunting. whether it’s setting up a social media page, streaming a service for the first time, or starting an email newsletter. In addition to the support our Communications Team can provide, we have gathered resources, guidance and walkthroughs to help you take those steps with confidence. You don’t need to be an expert; small, simple changes can make a big difference in how your church connects and shares online.

These resources can be accessed via the menu on this page and include:

• District Resources – Here you will find guidance on how to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) safely, social media safeguarding guidance and safeguarding guidance for online meetings and live streaming events.
