Moved to Columbia a few years ago to help start a church here. Our church has a lot of college students, and we use Facebook for a large part of our communication. Most notably, we had an event a few months ago that was designed to help homeless people in our city. We wanted people other than our small church involved, so we encouraged people to join the Facebook event and mention it in their "status," etc. This connected with many people that we would not have otherwise. Im not sure if you can view it, but the event is here: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=5446480953 Tony, We’ve never met, but I used to be a part of New Spring back in the early days.

Since our single's ministry is very active with events, Facebook provided a way for us to decentralize our event planning and to still allow for "church approval" of the individual events. I will also be doing regular teaching videos on the facebook "group" page since it is so easy to get a video message out on facebook. We have just finished our beta run and even though we are at the very beginning (with our public release being this friday) we believe facebook will take community to a whole new level for Canyon Ridge's Single Adults. P.S. I'll be posting, on my blog, a complete step by step instruction of how I set up the facebook group and how I have volunteers submit events for ministry approval through facebook this Friday.

I post weekly excerpts from what I taught in our young adult community,ZAO, the week before. In just about six weeks we have over 4,000 unique views, and now nearly 800 friends, including the churched, de-churched and un-churched, and other ministries. We even have some who are actively in the porn industry. Recently, after a series on sex, I had a male porn star message me and ask for prayer and advice on how to get out of the business. God will use almost any medium to change peoples lives... We have had an incredible response through our web church, (http://www.myspace.com/myspacechurch08).

When the wife of the motorcycle victim got there (3 hour trip), she was greeted by the pastor and it helped make an impact on that couple.
