Confused by tweets?

Don’t know a thing about hashtags?

Want to blog but don’t know where to start?

Jealous of organizations with vibrant Facebook pages?

In a one-day Social Media Boot Camp, veteran pastors and social mediaistas, Doug Pagitt and Tony Jones will guide you through the basics of the most popular social media services, including blogging, Facebook,Twitter and free broadcast media. You will learn how, in just three 30-minute periods each week, you can dramatically increase your communication to members of your church or people interested in your organization and, even more importantly, to those who have the potential to visit your church or business. Most importantly,Pagitt and Jones will  help you determine your own social media philosophy, so that you’ll know exactly why you’re going online each week.

Social media could allow you to  get real-time feedback from your parishioners as you prepare your sermon, spread the word about a church outreach program without buying a newspaper ad, or post a YouTube welcome to new neighbors in your community.

All of this is possible, and it doesn’t have to be intimidating. In fact, Pagitt and Jones promise to make it fun!

The Social Media Bootcamp costs $95 and includes lunch. All you need to bring is yourself and your laptop (borrow one if you have to!). We meet from 9am till 4pm. Online registration is a breeze! (Each Boot Camp is limited to 50 registrants.)
