I chose to review the “Top 10 Ways to Successfully Create and Maintain Your Congregation’s Facebook Page” by Lisa Kipp on FeAutor. To begin my review, I must simply state that I think this was a well-written, clear, and comprehensive guide to establishing a Facebook presence for your church.

Specifically, I liked this article because it clearly presents three of Jane Vella’s twelve learning principles. First, Kipp expresses the “immediacy” of Facebook and how useful a Facebook presence can truly be. She recommends posting links to congregational blogs, short videos, a variety of updates, and photos. More importantly in regards to immediacy, she proposes being consistent – in regards to the church’s mission and vision, but also in terms of amount of time spent updating. Therefore, she is adamant about giving this page an “immediacy” feel for those who view it.

Secondly, she understands the importance of “teamwork” involved with learning. Facebook allows a team of people to really develop the content. Yes, she administers most of the content, but for the most part, Facebook is a place where teamwork is proposed and utilized. She understands that the administrator of the Facebook page must know its’ audience in order to become a more successful team. Therefore, she proposes that we must post information pertaining to the audience you are addressing. In terms of making the page, she proposes in tip number ten is to “engage others to help you, especially those that have skills you don’t have.”

Last, she utilizes Vella’s idea of engagement. Facebook is the ultimate place of engagement and allows for full two-way conversation. She understands this by making sure to check the page often in order to delete inappropriate posts and to interact with other users. Personally, I can’t tell you how important this is in maintaining a great Facebook page. I see some churches who post on Facebook scripture verses and then never comment back on those people who say something about it. However, I know of other churches who are fantastic about interacting with others and discussing scripture with anyone and everyone! This is incredibly vital in order to make people feel like they are being engaged and addressed.

In conclusion, I thoroughly enjoyed this piece and will utilize the advice given in maintaining a successful Facebook page!
