In this second sneak peek episode of the Church Marketing Podcast I feel fortunate to get to have a conversation with Josh Burns, the director of web and social media at Park Community Church in Chicago. Our conversation centers largely around digital invitations through social media. In sneak peek one, Phil Bowdle shared how West Ridge Church does a printed invite card but in Illinois where Park Community Church is home to a very young demographic, social media becomes more important… and just how important is it? Well, the stats will tell you.
