It covers creating and maintaining a public Facebook Page, choosing consistent branding for profile and cover images, fully updating About details (hours, story, website, mission), and using reviews to strengthen SEO and credibility. The document also provides content bucket and calendar ideas, recommended posting style, verbal tone, and best posting practices including timing and post-length targets.","Social media for GSC churches  \nSTRUGGLING WITH YOUR CHURCHES OR MINISTRY’S ONLINE PRESENCE? HERE ARE THINGS YOU CAN DO TO RAISE YOUR CHURCH’S REACH AND PROFILE ON SOCIAL  \nMEDIA.  \nDeveloped by Joyce Taylor, GSC Communications Coordinations, and Spearmint Studios.  \n1. Public Page  \nYour church should have a public Facebook page (which is open and easily accessible to everyone), not a private account (which require accepted friend requests in order to see what’s happening on the account) .  \nTo create a Page:  \n• [Go to ](Go to facebook.com/pages/create)[facebook.com/pages/create](Go to facebook.com/pages/create).  \n• Click to choose a Category.  \n• Fill out the required information.  \n• Click Create Page.  \n• Add an optional profile or cover photo (see \\#2), then click Save.  \n[Tips:](Tips: www.connectingup.org/learn/articles/facebook-101-nonprofits-basic-tips-and-guidelines)[ ](Tips: www.connectingup.org/learn/articles/facebook-101-nonprofits-basic-tips-and-guidelines)[www.connectingup.org/learn/articles/facebook-101-nonprofits-basic-tips-and-guidelines](Tips: www.connectingup.org/learn/articles/facebook-101-nonprofits-basic-tips-and-guidelines)[ ](Tips: www.connectingup.org/learn/articles/facebook-101-nonprofits-basic-tips-and-guidelines)[and](and www.facebook.com/help/135275340210354/create-and-manage-a-page)[ ](and www.facebook.com/help/135275340210354/create-and-manage-a-page)[www.facebook.com/help/135275340210354/create-and-manage-a-page](and www.facebook.com/help/135275340210354/create-and-manage-a-page)  \n2. Image profile  \nShould be the Adventist logo on a solid background. It reflects who we are without guesswork. Would people recognize McDonald’s without its Golden Arches? Neither will they recognize us without our logo and consistent use of it. Head to [https://identity.adventistchurch.com](https://identity.adventistchurch.com to)[ to](https://identity.adventistchurch.com to)[ ](https://identity.adventistchurch.com to)download the flame logo in the appropriate ministry (Church, Aged Care, Education or Health) to set as your profile pic.  \nYour Facebook cover photo is one of the first things people will see when they visit your page, which is why it is so important to make the best first impression possible. Does your church not have a graphic designer to produce relevant graphic? A safe choice is a quality, high-resolution photo of your church.  \n3. Update the about  \nMake sure the information is completely filled in.  \nHOURS: Add the operational hours to help people know when to call or visit. STORY: Tell people who you are. Not sure what to say? Feel free to use this one:  \nSeventh-day Adventists are a people of Biblical hope (Sola Scriptura), wholistic health and community service.  \nWe're a Christian church that’s rooted in the Bible and serve to build happier & healthier  \ncommunities, families & individuals through the grace of Jesus.  \nThis is the official Facebook presence of the [ Location here] Seventh-day Adventist Church.  \n\\#SydneyAdventists  \n\\#AdventistsAustralia  \nWEBSITE: Add your weblink.

Add reviews  \nIt use to be that reviews were not helpful or necessary for the service the church provides. And while some may argue that it still isn’t, reviews are great for SEO. The more the better. Review also help encourage improvement and growth.  \n5.
