Flickering Pixels Group Blogging Project

Shane Hipps, pastor of Trinity Mennonite Church in Glendale, AZ, has written a book called Flickering Pixels – How Technology Shapes Your Faith. The book has gotten a lot of attention lately. Since it’s on the subject of Internet and ministry, discussing the book is a perfect fit for this blog. I’m going to be joining with a bunch of other people who love to think about Internet/ministry issues to discuss the book as a part of a group blog project starting June 1.

I would encourage you to pick up a copy of the book and discuss it with us.

Paul Steinbrueck is co-founder and CEO of OurChurch.Com, elder of CypressMeadows.org, husband, father of 3, blogger. You can follow him on Twitter at @PaulSteinbrueck and add him to your circles at Google+ as +Paul Steinbrueck.

Which best describes your organization's approach to assessing the value/ROI of social media?

We diligently track the source of all sales/goals so we know what social media is producing.
We look at trends. If our use of social media correlates with an increase in our sales/goals that indicates it's value.
You can't put a dollar value on relationships and so we don't try to assess the value/ROI of social media.
We're doing some tracking of the source of sales/goals, so we have some numbers, but we also recognize there's more to the value of social media than those numbers.
We're experimenting with social media now. We'll tackle the value/ROI issue once we get a better idea of what we're doing.
We know we should be trying to assess the value of social media, but we just don't know how.
We're not using social media.
