The Block Church Facebook Page

The block church’s Facebook page in comparison to their website has many up to date posts in regard to their services and events. Initially, when you visit the Facebook page you have the option to view their photos. 

Below the photos is a recommendations and reviews section. The reviews were all very positive, highlighting the atmosphere and great service (I learned their valet parking is awesome). Next, you will find many videos of different sermons. On their website, they have a sermon posted but it is much more variety on their Facebook page. Below their sermons are many posts. Each post includes either a picture or a video. It is clear that the block church wants to keep their community up to date with everything as they are constantly posting several times a week.

As far as interactive elements of the block church’s Facebook page there are options to write a post, like there page, follow them, links to events, videos, etc. When entering the Facebook page the messenger pops up to send the block church a message with a note inside that says, “typically replies within a day.” Their Facebook page also have other pages to join such as, block girls, the block church-center city, the block kids, etc. I think it is very nice that they have the date the page was created (December 10, 2013) and that they highlight the fact that the page name has not changed. This shows that the block church is committed to their mission. The mission of the church on their Facebook page is similar to the one on their website. Both inform the public about what the block church is as well as ways to attend services in numerous areas. Also, both included sermons you can check out as well as ways to donate/contact leaders of the block church.

Their Facebook page is different from their website in the sense that they share much more information on their Facebook page.   The design and experiences offered on their Facebook page reinforces their mission of helping their community one block at a time. This is shown through various posts pertaining to their organization.

The block church has a blending relationship because there online and offline practices are interconnected and have a seamless flow between two contexts. The block church interacts with the community via Facebook and their website. On these sites events, locations, sermons, informative videos, pictures, etc. are posted for anyone interested to find out what the block church is all about. By doing this the block church is actively engaging its online community with their off-line community and vice versa. Especially through their Facebook posts where they are constantly posting sermons and multiple weekly updates
