In the Church there are lots of different ways you can serve. And, with Online Ministry options, there are even more of a variety of options. However, just because someone is comfortable using technology and has the passion to serve in this area doesn't mean they automatically know how to effectively serve in the different roles. Proper training is key to equipping your digital volunteers for online ministry excellence.

Going "viral" was such a huge thing for social media managers and content creators. Actually, it may still be a goal that they strive for. After all, who doesn't want to hit thousands of views on content you create. However, despite the goal, going viral is not something that you can plan or predict. That is why, as Church Communicators and Digital Missionaries, the goal in sharing content  should NOT be to go viral, but it is to speak the Truth that leads people down a path of discipleship.
