I’m in my second year of helping churches develop strategies for online campus development with Media Social. If you have been going through the process as a church, ministry, conference, etc.; then you are very aware of all the questions that you have to ask!
-Questions about cost, planning, training, integration, vision, strategy, personnel…there are many.
I found a helpful article on Church Crunch with 10 solid questions that I suggest you ask in the early stages:
Is our Internet Campus a destination or a gateway to a local church?
If it is a gateway to a local church, does it have to be our local church, one we are affiliated with or simply a life-giving church in someone’s area?
What is the plan for following up with people that accept Christ?
How will you get volunteers from both the physical campus and Internet Campus to serve the Internet Campus specifically?
What is our long-term plan for this thing anyways?
How will you measure success, specifically, what metrics will you use to evaluate your goals?
Will you hire someone to maintain the Internet Campus or will you use a current staff member or volunteer?
What is the win for John Doe who attends the Internet Campus every week?
How will you let people know about the Internet Campus?
In your mind, what is the difference between a webcast and an Internet Campus and why did you choose the latter?
“Where do you go to find good Christian content online?
Let’s face it, Googling “God” is just not good enough. Introducing FaithVillage.com, a new social network for faith resources coming in 2011.
FaithVillage surrounds a robust social media experience with blogs, forums, videos, podcasts, articles, news, shopping and more. You’ll find some of the best content online served up to you in one convenient place. And FaithVillage is accessed through an awesome visual interface that mimics the kind of real brick and mortar neighborhood you like to hang out in.
If you were stranded on a deserted island and could only take one web site with you, FaithVillage is that site.”
“We’ve been using the system for about 3 months now across all the 8BIT Network properties and we love it since it gives us an easy-to-understand dashboard for some of the more important elements of traffic.”
