Best Practices Survey iPad 2 Winner!

iPad 2 Winner Selected for Participating in Use of Media Survey. Watch as the winner is chosen at random to receive the iPad 2 prize for participating in the Best Practices media poll.

On March 9, 2011, the NAD Church Resource Center sent out an invitation to the Best Practices email list inviting subscribers to participate in a poll regarding the use of media in their congregation. As with any self selected poll the results only reflect the views of the 546 participants and do not reflect all of the pastors of the NAD.

Those who participated indicated that satellite broadcasts as well as the division wide media ministries continue to provide some benefit to their congregations. In addition many churches are using media locally in their mission. Websites led the usage followed by Facebook and email newsletter. Click here to see the whole graph.

When asked 'what are your favorite media channels for receiving ministry support, the responses were fairly evenly divided between all of the channels. Books, websites and live training events were favored but other channels were close behind.

An open ended question was included for pastors to name a church that was using local media effectively. Future Best Practices will highlight some of those churches.
