Best Youth Group Social Accounts

Hey, it’s Brady,

What do the best youth group social media accounts have in common?

They’re student-driven.

And they use social media for ministry. Not just to promote ministry.

Most student ministries are using social media to promote their youth services.

Here’s the thing…

There’s actually a better way to build anticipation for youth night.

Show. Don’t Tell.

Two student ministries are doing this exceptionally well…

#1. CRAVE
@cravegeneration
Sacramento, CA

CRAVE is my favorite example of variety on a youth account.

• Bible trivia

• Humor

• Wisdom from Scripture

• Interviews with students

• Skits

#2. AMPLIFY YOUTH
@weareamplifyyouth
Pittsburgh, PA

Instead of telling you to come to youth group, two of my favorite posts from AMPLIFY YOUTH show what youth nights are like. Combined these two posts have more than 5 million views.

• Show. Don’t Tell. - Post Example #1

• Show. Don’t Tell. - Post Example #2

An easy way to remember this principle is to think of a movie trailer.

The point of a movie trailer isn’t to tell you the showtimes of the movie. It’s to show you the highlights!

Once you’re inspired by the trailer, you’ll go looking for the showtimes.

Unfiltered Conversation with Former Life.Church Photographer

This week on The Pro Church Tools Show, we're joined by a former Life.Church photographer.

We ask him about preparing shot lists, his favorite gear, and photographer etiquette.

We also share our best ideas for capturing photos of baptisms without destroying our cameras - and yes, the best answer is probably what you're thinking: a fish tank. 🐟

Let's dive in.

Thanks as always for your time, attention, and trust. Talk to you next Thursday. - Brady Shearer
