Social Media Church hosted its first live recording with Paul Steinbrueck, Founder of OurChurch.com – a Christian web company – an elder at Cypress Meadow Community Church, and blogger at Christian Web Trends among many other things too. This special episode of Social Media Church was recorded live on Google+ Hangout on Air before a live online audience. The topic revolved around how can pastors use social media more effectively with limited time. And we also made time for interactive Q&A with the audience.
By the way, do you know any church with a full-time Social Media Director on staff?
