Helping churches, faith organisations and charities to get better equipped on social media to share Hello, I’m Hannah.
I’m a Digital Missioner and Creative Content Strategist helping churches to get online. I have a number of years experience working in both secular and faith based organisations to support them in their digital requirements. These have included getting started on social media, developing a social media strategy, building websites, live streaming services and more! I am passionate about supporting
churches to realise the potential of being digital and using it as tool for fellowship, sharing the gospel and making disciples!

Something a little different for me. 🎵🎵
Last weekend I went to spend the day with Somerset Chamber Choir as they rehearsed for their upcoming summer concert on Saturday 27th at Wells Cathedral. The choir are celebrating their 40th anniversary since being founded which is why I've got involved to help capture this story.
With a background in music and performance, it was such a privilege to have my own mini concert watching the rehearsal. But what was truly an honour was spending the day with a very lovely group of people, many of whom have been with the choir for decades, not just a few years. the stories of encouragement and gratitude for each other was truly heartwarming. And their singing is pretty wonderful too!
In Looe today visiting Barney & Sara from Boundless Trust.

Tough office today spending the day in Mevagissey with the very awesome Claytons as they share about home mission in Baptist Union of Great Britain & South West Baptist Association.
They made me walk miles and miles and miles as they showed me around on but paid me off with sunshine, coffee & a Cornish pasty so really it wasn’t too much to complain about.

Brand New For the South West!
A new initiative to give voice to academics and theologians who are from or work in the South West.
Five academic theologians working within the South West will be presenting papers on their research, with subsequent time for questions and discussion. Whilst the presentations will be pitched academically, this conference is open to any who would like to engage in academic theological thought and discussion, or who would like to simply come along and listen. This is an excellent opportunity to discover what theological research is being done in the South West by those who live here. The papers this year touch on themes of contextual mission and discipleship in the southwest.

Did these four strategies die in 2024? Honestly, some of them died a *long* time ago.
Churches still tend to obsess over them though.
#1. Hashtags
In our tests, hashtags make virtually zero impact on a post’s reach. The head of Instagram, Adam Mosseri, has acknowledged this as well.
Nothing wrong with adding them to your caption. Just don’t sweat them.
#2. Trending Sounds
Taking that viral audio and adding it to your latest Reel? Don’t expect extra reach - unless you’re specifically *doing* a trend (remember the Wes Anderson thing last summer?)
Not to mention as the record labels continue to battle over copyrights, you wouldn’t want your audio to be muted unexpectedly after your post is live.
#3. Post Timing
Churches *love* to obsess over post timing. The thing is? It really doesn’t matter. So long as you publish during waking hours.
If your post is quality, it’ll find its audience. You can’t trick the algorithm into extra reach by posting at 8:26 a.m. instead of 9:15 a.m.
#4. DM Auto Replies
Someone sends your church a DM and they get an auto reply - “We’ll get back to you soon!”. 😖
The whole point of DMs is to connect with a real person. Don’t substitute real for robot. It’s okay if you don’t reply immediately!
New page on the website talking further on the videography services, FH Digital is now offering.
Happy to chat if anyone wants to explore it!
Videography Services Films and videos can be a fantastic way to share the story, mission, and work of a charity or church because they combine the power of visual storytelling with the emotional impact of personal narratives. These formats can quickly and effectively convey the core values and goals...
Little over year I visited the wonderful team at Fivehead Baptist Church in South West Baptist Association to find out more about their community cafe & building - The Stable.

This has been my go to prayer lately. For family life, for inspiration, for my internal peace. It’s always on the tip of my tongue.
The Spirit brings breath and comfort, peace and patience. The Spirit is a way maker, movement shaker, hope bearer.
Where can you ask the Spirit to breathe into your life as we prepare for Pentecost Sunday?
‘Fan into flame the gifts of the Holy Spirit! Use them to build up everyone else! The least, greatest, youngest and oldest can all do this and the church will grow in love. Expect prophecies, healings and other miracles whenever you meet – then on the streets and by sick beds. See the Kingdom of God come.’ - Jackie Pullinger MBE, Founder of St Stephen’s Society
Watch today's film on Ministry of the Holy Spirit: https://www.thykingdomcome.global/prayer-journal-day-11
Pray for the supernatural gifts of the Spirit and commit today, to be faithful and bold in using these gifts to bless others, so that the church may be built up as the Holy Spirit moves in power.
Great thoughts for getting photos at a Sunday service!
I am exploring some new creative opportunities, looking to do more videography & film making.
If your church, charity or organisation could do with a short film to tell the story of your work, please do get in touch!
I’ve made a playlist of the work I’ve done over the years.

We analyzed 531 church social media profiles. ✝️
We examined audience engagement patterns, content velocity, and various other factors to detect the most active times for authentic engagement.
And here are the winners for Q2 2024 (applies to all weekdays):
9:26 A.M.
10:26 A.M.
7:21 P.M.
What’s interesting about these times? They’re right *before* and *after* a typical 9-5 work day.
There’s more to this story though…
Because the lifespan of your social media content is longer than it used to be.
Here’s what I mean…
In The Social Graph Era of social media, a post’s lifespan was just a few hours. Once the chronological feed was axed, that lifespan increased to a few days.
But now that we’re in The Discovery Era, a good post can have a lifespan of a few weeks
So what am I getting at? Post timing doesn’t matter all that much.
Good posts will almost always get a ton of distribution irrespective of when they were first published.
I've been going through my photos I've taken over the year and have added them to my Unsplash account so they are accessible to anyone who wants them.
Lots of churches, coastal moments and scenic views.

Though much of the work I do is through longer term contracts, I enjoy the variety of it & would love to develop my Buy Me a Coffee account into a membership & shop for church comms needs.
What would be useful to equip people with? What do sort of topics/areas do people need for advice, support or resources on?

A great example of local church communities support local businesses and sharing about it! Your social media content doesn't need to be all about the Sunday service, show the faces of your church family and engage with your community.
Bravo St Mark's, Herston!
Might have to visit Coastal Crust Pizza now..... 🤔🍕
