    7 Big Benefits to Blogging

    7 Big Benefits to Blogging

    Blogging has been a thing for more than 2 decades. Because it’s no longer the “shiny new thing,” there is a tendency among some people to dismiss it as “old school” or no longer relevant or effective today.

    Nothing could be further from the truth.

    7 Big Benefits to Blogging

    1) Blogging helps others.

    The main reason people blog is because they want to help others. As a church leader, the insight you have gained through your experience and time with the Lord, is valuable in helping to disciple others – both those who are a part of your church and those who might find your blog online.

    2) Blogging builds credibility.

    Sharing information, insight, and inspiration though a blog helps to establish your authority and credibility. Every church and faith-based organization claims to know “The Way” and wants people to join them. And there are millions of non-religious people out there giving advice about how to live life.

    By sharing your insight through a blog, people can read your perspective and see for themselves you are credible and worth listening to.

    3) Blogging shapes culture.

    The topics you choose to blog on, the issues you address, and the tone you use, can all contribute to the culture of your church. Do you address controversial issues or avoid them? Do you address real-world concerns or focus on abstract theology? Are you argumentative or gentle with those who see things differently from you?

    4) Blogging fosters engagement.

    If you allow commenting on blog posts or share them to social media, they can be a great opportunity to build relationships and facilitate discussion among the people who are a part of your church.

    When blog articles are shared publicly, they can also foster engagement and discussion among people who are not a part of your church and not even followers of Jesus yet.

    5) Blogging amplifies social media.

    There is a debate among some church communications people… Which is more important – blogging or social media?

    In my option, that’s the wrong question. Blogging and social media amplify and compliment each other. Blog posts make great social media content. And in turn, when you and others share blog posts on social media, that helps to build your blog audience.

    6) Blogging tells stories.

    A blog is a great platform for sharing the stories of what God is doing in your church. Some of the best stories include, individual stories of people coming to Christ, stories of answered prayers, stories of the people of your church helping one another, stories of the people of your church serving your community.

    This world needs to see that “Christian” isn’t just a label or a club you belong to, but it is a transformative relationship with the Living God.

    7) Blogging improves search rankings.

    Search engines love fresh content. Additionally, people tend to share and link to insight, inspiration, and stories far more than general info you might put on your web pages. These shares and links help to improve your search rankings.

    These 7 benefits are why our church website builder tip of the day is:

    Make sure your church website builder has a great blogging tool, so your church can experience all the benefits of blogging.
