Social Media — it’s the beast that never sleeps, always hungry for the next post, story, or reel. We get it, it can feel like a lot! Yet, it’s one of the best tools we have to connect with students, encourage them, and point them toward Jesus. Every like, share, and comment is an opportunity to build relationships.

So how can we have an engaging social media presence that doesn’t take us away from so many other important things that need our time and attention?

Here are a few tips:

  1. Engage, Don’t Just Post Reply to comments, ask questions, and use polls or Q&A features to start conversations.
  2. Highlight Students Celebrate birthdays, achievements, or event photos to help students feel seen and valued.
  3. Tell Stories Share testimonies and moments that show how God is moving in your ministry!
  4. Get Students Involved Let them help create content or even run your TikTok or Instagram (with supervision). Their voice connects best with their peers.
  5. Stay Consistent Post regularly, even if it’s just a couple of times a week. Consistency builds trust and keeps your ministry visible.

If posting consistently feels overwhelming, don’t worry—you don’t have to do it alone. The DYM Gold Membership includes a monthly, ready-to-post social media pack that can help simplify your social media strategy and keep things running smoothly. 🙌
