Practical Strategies for Digital Engagement

Your Church carries the life-changing message of Jesus Christ. But in today’s world, many people will visit your website, scroll your social media, or search online before they ever walk through your doors. And for some, their search for hope may begin—and sadly end—on a confusing, outdated, or lifeless digital front.

Mastering Church Growth is a step-by-step, prayer-first course designed to help Pastors, Church staff, and volunteers create a clear, Christ-centered digital presence that reflects the heart of your ministry. No gimmicks. No flashy trends. Just faithful strategies that help you reach the people God has placed around you—without tech overwhelm.

Across nine practical lessons, you’ll discover how to use digital tools in a way that supports your ministry, builds trust with guests, and strengthens member engagement. Every lesson begins and ends in prayer, keeping the focus on the Holy Spirit as the true source of growth—not the tools themselves.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

Launch a welcoming, mission-focused website (Lessons 1–3)

You’ll learn how to build a mobile-friendly Church website using the Divi builder for WordPress. From homepage layout to sermon libraries, photo galleries, event forms, and clear next-step invites, every part of your site will point people to Christ. We’ll also cover a simple rhythm for maintaining your site each week and month, so it remains fast, safe, and up to date—without needing to hire a developer.

Shepherd guests and members with a Church Management System (Lessons 4–6)

First-time guests should never fall through the cracks. You’ll learn how to create online connection cards, send personalized follow-up emails and texts, and track each person’s journey—from their first visit to serving, giving, and growing. We’ll guide you through using your Church Management System to log attendance, manage communication, and even automate birthday greetings, giving receipts, and event reminders—freeing your team for the ministry that matters most.

Broadcast the Good News far beyond your building (Lessons 7–9)

In this final section, you’ll learn how to develop a balanced social media plan using the EEIIRY content method (Educate, Encourage, Inform, Inspire, Remind, Yield), so you’re not scrambling to post every day. You’ll also walk through setting up Facebook and Google Ads with clear goals, wisely using your budget—including Google’s generous USD $10,000/month grant. And you’ll see how to invite and share real reviews and testimonies that give your community a reason to trust your Church before they even step inside.

By the end of this course, you’ll walk away with a clear, sustainable plan to grow your Church’s online presence in a way that stays rooted in prayer, aligned with your values, and centered on the Gospel.

If you want to engage more guests, deepen connections, and share Christ more effectively in today’s digital age—this course will show you how to do it, one faithful step at a time.
