4 Digital Tools to Help Reach Your Local Community

When we talk about using digital tools to expand your reach, it can often be misconstrued that you reach more and more people all over the world. While that is possible, it is not always the intention. In fact, if you are a physical Church in a community, local impact and reach should be the primary focus.

That is why Joe Radosevich from Belgium Community Church in Belgium, Wisconsin joins me on the podcast today. Joe is the Lead Pastor at BCC and today we talk about how he is using Waze, Google My Business, Facebook and the Church’s webpage to reach people in his local community. All four of these ways are very useful with some costing very little to do and some costing no money at all. Find out how you can use them in your local community.
