Leading a church’s vision in digital ministry

Rev Nicole Reilley shares her experience in being a lead pastor and leader in the church’s digital ministry.

In many larger churches, online ministry is a delegated responsibility. So church leadership chooses and individual or team of individuals to lead an online ministry while senior leadership primarily focuses in different areas.

Not all of us have such an opportunity, though, do we? It may be the case that we don’t have someone to which we can delegate. OR, it might be that we are both the senior leader AND the person who is carrying the passion to see the church extend its ministry into a digital space. 

Rev. Nicole Reilley is going to provide us with ideas and stories from her own experience in being a senior pastor at a traditionally-based church and the chief cheerleader or ringleader for pastoring a digital parish.

Rev. Nicole Reilley has 30 years experience in full-time ordained ministry in the United Methodist Church (UMC). In 2012 she planted a series of house churches training laity and clergy. Nicole brings with her a passion for new ways of doing and being church to her work as a clergy coach, specializing in social media and clergy wellness. She’s been coaching since 2015 and recently wrote “Expanding the Expedition through Digital Ministry”.
