Communications Directorate
Communications Directorate exists to build an online community for those who are tuning in from afar and want to stay plugged in to all that’s happening here at House Of Praise, Calgary. Engaging and connecting both members and non-members by using different digital media outlets.
- Social Media Ministry
It is estimated that by 2019, there will be around 2.77 billion social media users around the globe. As we have been commanded to go into the world and preach the gospel of Jesus Christ to all nations, the social media ministry gives us the opportunity to reach the world right where they spend quite a lot of their time- the internet and social media. This ministry thrives on social interaction yet it can be used to serve the spiritual purpose of spreading the gospel to the unreached and edifying the body of Christ as a whole.
House of Praise has active social media platforms such as Facebook, YouTube, & Instagram which are dependent on association, engagement, interaction and communication by members and online followers which drive the purpose above.
Due to its social nature, our ministry is non-parochial or rigid in nature to allow for inspired and varied methods of reaching and engaging our online audience which consists of different age groups.
As most members of this team already play many active roles presently in church, all communication and correspondence are done online/ virtually.
