Creating and maintaining a church blog can seem overwhelming. If you’re struggling, though, I understand:

• The challenge of coming up with meaningful topics can lead to inconsistent posting.
• What if the articles published seem disconnected, or fail to represent your ministry’s heart?
• What if posting blogs and articles take up too much time and energy (without yielding much fruit)

These frustrations happen when we don’t have clear examples, practical ways to improve our approach. So, as you build your church website (with software or without), consider that your church blog can be a great tool.

Done well, your church blog can be an excellent way to connect with your congregation and your community.
