A free webinar on digital ministry

Making Church Decisions has always been about helping people to communicate well, to care and to assist people to connect at a deeper level. In that spirit I (Terence) have started a new ministry to operate along side Making Church Decisions.

During COVID 19 many Ministers and congregations have experimented with the use of technology and many of them have done very well in extending the reach of their congregation’s ministry. However, many have told me that they don’t know how to go further with these initial connections even though they know that it must be part of their ministry in the future.

Drawing on my experience of the church and of developing ministries through the use of digital technology I thought that I can help with this issue. My new ministry is called Digital Churches Now: helping churches communicate, care and connect with communities. From early September I will be providing weekly blog posts and You Tube posts. If you want to access these then you will need to go to digitalchurchesnow.com and sign up for the weekly posts. This is the only time that I will send an email to this list on this topic as I respect your privacy and will not spam you. I am sending this email as I know that many of you are interested in my ministry more broadly and this seemed a good way to share about my new ministry development.

Below is information about a free webinar that I will be conducting at 9.30am on August 29th (Australian Eastern Time). I’d love you to join me there.

Three things that I learned as an Internet entrepreneur that digital churches need to know!

 This webinar is for you if you:

    • are using YouTube because of COVID, or earlier
    • know that you must do ministry and mission in a different way if you want to have a future
    • have a digital presence with a website and want to make it work harder for you
    • are just curious about digital ministry possibilities

What you will get out of this webinar

    • Actionable steps that you can put into effect straight away to improve your digital ministry
    • Strategies to connect you with people who find you on You Tube, a website or social media
    • Ideas to help you think about digital ministry in a holistic way
    • Inspiration and encouragement that you can do this

Nothing in ministry taught me how to communicate with people who were not already part of the group which was within my Placement context. I had to learn digital ministry from scratch. As a result of the things that I have learned, I now have a ministry that includes teaching workshops around Australia and the world. I work with more than just the Uniting Church in conflict intervention and mediation. I resource churches and ecumenical bodies around the globe in consensus meeting procedures and I am a professional coach for commercial businesses in how to leverage the Internet for the success of their business.

I have started digitalchurchesnow.com to help you to communicate, care and connect with communities. It can be done. Many of you can be highly successful at it and all of us can improve the effectiveness of our digital presence.

A great place to start is by joining my free webinar at 9.30 am on August 29th (Australia Eastern Time). Sign up for the Webinar here: https://digitalchurchesnow.ck.page/webinar0820
