NOTES
- Digital Pastor (typical church): Looking for a Relational, Networker, Connector. Comfortable speaking in small venues. Tech savvy is good. Tech savant not necessary.
- Post-COVID 2021, not doing anything digital until you hire is NOT the right answer.
- Just because you cannot afford, or cannot find, someone does not mean that you should wait!
- Cost effective solutions out there even if you don't have that full-time salary.
- Option #1 - Hire a Full-time Digital Pastor for all Digital Responsibilities,
- Pro - Clear responsibilities
- Con - Digital responsibility is isolated to this individual
- Option #2 - Crown a digital champion to think digital first and help hold all staff accountable for digital ministry.
- Churchome's Mark Venti, Executive Pastor of Ministries, is Digital Champion.
- Ministry Admin or Project Manager - "Ask the 'Digital' Question when everyone else is thinking physical.
- Digital slowly becomes a part of everyone's responsibility, not silo'd with one or two individuals.
- Option #3 - Don't know what to do? Hand Digital over to a volunteer!
- Version One is better than Version None.
- If you trust volunteer spiritually, trust what they want to do digitally. Create benchmarks and goals. Did it work?
- Option #1 - Hire a Full-time Digital Pastor for all Digital Responsibilities,
