10 WAYS TO BECOME A DIGITAL PASTOR

© Bisi Adewale

Lots of pastors are very far from the level of their youths in terms of technology. It’s a case of analogue pastors leading digital youths.

The lack of knowledge of some pastors about the social media, the internet etc. makes many of them to believe that these new technologies are evil.

 To have an effective youth ministry in your church in these modern days, you must get up and develop yourself technologically. You can’t pray, fast and read the Bible alone to lead these versatile, upwardly mobile youths around you. If you don’t get up, you will soon lose them. Note that you can be a graduate and still be an illiterate in these modern days because the definition of illiteracy has changed from someone who cannot read and write to those who are not aware technologically, who knows nothing about the internet and the social media.

 

What Pastors must do:

 

-Be Computer Literate: In this present time, not having computer knowledge is tantamount to illiteracy. Now that almost everything is digitalized including the collection of tithes and offerings. So, there’s no way you can understand the language of the youths when you are not computer literate. To get connected to the youths, you must be computer literate. Get somebody to teach you, put shame aside. You will need computer knowledge to become a digital pastor who can prepare his message on slides, send e-mails to the youths and respond to their e-mails, post on social media, type your book on the laptop. You may not be a guru, just learn the rudiments first and as you continue to use it, improvement becomes imminent.

-Learn how to use the Internet: Your computer knowledge will launch you into a world of internet inexhaustible information, fastest form of communication and social connections. The world has become a global village through the internet. You need to learn how to use the internet to be able to interact with the youths through different social media groups, keep yourself abreast of the happenings around you, carry out research and source for information that will be beneficial to the youths in your church. You can surf the internet through your tablets, i-pad, computer and any smartphone. Don’t be an outdated pastor pastoring updated youths, they will cut off from you soonest.

Get a better Telephone: Youths love a digitalized Pastor who is using modern smartphones like android, I-phone and not old school phones that can do nothing other than receiving and making calls. Get a quality phone that will be able to connect to the internet, record, take pictures and do many other functions, for a good phone is a mini-computer.

Get modern equipment for sermon preparation: Preparing for a sermon becomes easier when you make use of things like online Bible with different versions, e-bible commentary, bible dictionary, related image/illustration for each point, sermon calendar which will help you plan your messages ahead of time-based on the need of the church.

Get Tablets: It is advisable you write your sermon on a sermon note but don’t bring it to the pulpit lest they see you like old school. Instead, get a tablet in which you will preach your message. Note that this is not what will make the Holy Spirit move but it is part of the packaging that will make the youths believe in your God and love to hear from you. This will portray you as a corporate fellow.

Get social media accounts for the church: In this digitalized world, every youth-oriented parish or church must have social media accounts. Youths love to interact with one another on social media platforms. That is why a church that wants to keep her youths must have functional social media accounts on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google+, YouTube, WhatsApp groups, amongst others. Through this, information and messages can be passed to them daily. With this, you can keep in touch with them daily even if there is no service in Church. You have to ensure that these accounts are lively and also updated constantly as new members join the church.

Get social media accounts for yourself: Any pastor that will pastor youths must also pastor them on social media platforms. You must open personal social media accounts for yourself on Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Instagram, Google+, WhatsApp and your presence on them must be constant. With this, you will be able to connect with them and monitor what they are posting online as you are one of their friends on those platforms.

Get Projectors in Church and Use it well: Build a digital church and not an analogue one. Get projectors and TVs in your church to project your hymns, announcement, praise & worship, choir ministrations and messages. This often adds colour and beauty to the church. If your aim is to build a youth-oriented church, then invest in audio-visual equipment

Get a Personal Blog: A digital pastor will build his personal blog where you can define who you are and what you stand for. A blog is a mini website which you can update daily by posting your messages, articles, programs, upcoming programs, photos, fliers and it is a place where people can get your contacts.

Get a Website for the Church: There are so many big churches with an analogue mentality that is the reason many of them has no website. A church should have a functional website every information about the church ranging from the church address, phone numbers, departments, order of service, past events, upcoming programs, names of pastors, church doctrines, vision, mission statement, history of the church, books and other resources and other information about the church.

 Make sure the website is updated regularly.

Connect the Church to the internet: Get the church connected to the internet. Operate a church without wall through live stream so that anybody can hook up with any of your services live from any part of the world.

 Use Twitter to send out your message as you preach: Engage vibrant youths in the media department who will be using your Twitter handle and Church handle to tweet and retweet your messages live with pictures while the service lasts.

 Get in touch with your youth during the week on social media: Make it a habit to get in touch with your youths on social media at least once a week. You may announce the time and the subject of discussion which could be on relationship, career, vision, prayer, amongst others.

If you are not a digital pastor, you will only have analogue people as your followers!
