Just got my copy of The Blogging Church by Brian Bailey with Terry Storch. These two guys had a great impact on why I blog and why I believe it can be a great tool if used properly for churches. As a matter of fact, there's a rumor that our senior pastor will be unveiling his own blog over the next couple of weeks. Stay tuned.
I've been blogging now since June of 2005 and have met and networked with so many church leaders that I otherwise never would have had a chance to meet had it not been for blogging. The exchanging of ideas, ministries, successes, failures at ministry and stories has inspired and encouraged me many times over.
Thanks to this guy for passing the bug along to me. I remember being at Fellowship Church's C3 Conference with my friend Brian when he jumped in the van full of people and he mentioned the word "blog" after spending a session with Terry Storch. I think we were all like...huh...that's interesting. Sounds to me like a strange cult. Man how things have changed.
Since that time back in January 2005, there are several Grace bloggers taking part in the online community. Mommy bloggers (including my wife), a youth director, Men's ministry director/pastor, and my folks over in Gaza are all part of this growing community at Grace. I know when our senior pastor gets it rolling, our communications of vision and purpose is going to continue growing. I'm going to enjoy reading The Blogging Church and using it as a resource to help explain blogging to other people within the Grace Church community.
So do you remember the first time you heard about blogging? Did it take you a while to catch it?
