Strategy, Twitter
A Pastor Who Leverages Twitter Effectively Is…
A few days ago I asked this question via Twitter:
Here are just a handful of the responses that I got:
I would have to agree with these folks, these are definitely qualities that Pastor’s who “get it” are using to leverage Twitter effectively.
Here are some additional thoughts which I have found work. What would you add to this list?
A Pastor leverages Twitter strategically and effectively when:
- Very concious of their Ministry and Church “brand” and are obvious advocates, but at the same time do not oversell or spam ministry-centric tweets only.
- They share, provide value, link to others, retweet, but do not “sell.”
- They appear to be “real” humans; no canned responses, auto-tweets, or have their admin do it for them.
- They actually spell correctly and have decent grammar.
- They are committed long-term to the growth and use of their Twitter account.
What else?
Buzz it!

It's interesting that Amanda mentioned that they follow back. That's what I see a lot of Pastors on Twitter NOT doing.
I see a lot of pastors doing that too. I think the twitter account feels like a better connection to the Pastor when he is willing to follow others (discriminately of course).
Thanks for this! yes, i agree.
word up scott. you would know brother!
What are some examples of pastors who use twitter effectively? I’d like to learn from them. Obviously, @andystanley was mentioned. Who else? I’d love to learn from them!
@AndyStanley is hilarious.
