Why Broadcasting Your Worship Service on Facebook Live Makes Sense!

There is a lot of back and forth as to whether or not churches should use Facebook to broadcast their services,  I am all for it and here are five reasons why:

1. Facebook Live will allow Pastors to connect to hundreds of people who have never been to your church! 
2. Facebook viewers will begin to engage in the comments and share your broadcast
3. Facebook Live setup  is extremely easy and only takes a couple of minutes
4. Facebook Live videos automatically will play in all of your friends News Feeds!
5. I saved the best for last,  it's FREE!

How to Get Started Using the Facebook Live App

1. Make sure you have the following:

• A mobile device (with plenty of battery life)
• A Facebook account
• Facebook’s mobile app
• A strong wifi signal at your location
• A tripod with a smartphone mount 

Going live is really simple, in fact, it only requires you to click on your update status from your Facebook mobile app,  hitting the Facebook live button, giving your video a title (sermon name will work just fine), and turning the camera button to make sure it is facing you. 
That's it!

Gone are the days where you have to have rigs and high tech equipment to live stream  your worship services.  With a tech savvy volunteer and a online giving tool that is compatible with FaceBook like Givelify (another free app), you are all set to reach a much larger audience at a fraction of the cost. If you would like to learn more, register for your online marketing consultation here.
