Your 2025 Church Media Calendar
A well-organized church media calendar allows you to connect intentionally with your congregation (online and in person), amplify your ministry’s mission, and ensure your online presence remains impactful and consistent. With a new year approaching, it’s good for churches to have a clear social media plan. Follow along as we guide you in creating a plan for your social media pages.
What Is a Church Social Media Calendar and Why Do You Need One?
A church social media calendar is a tool that outlines what content your church should post and when. Consider it a way to get inspiration about posts – where most of the planning is done in advance! It includes key dates, themes, and messaging tailored to your church’s mission. It’s perfect for getting a view of the bigger picture so your planning remains consistent and stress-free.
How to Use It:

- Identify Key Dates: We’ve highlighted significant holidays you should keep in mind when planning your posts! It’s up to you to post about any events your church will host during the following months.
- Plan Content: Create posts around themes like worship, encouragement, education, and connection.
- Leverage Scheduling Tools: Use tools like Hootsuite, Buffer, or Meta Business Suite to automate your posting – this way, you can batch plan and post.
Why It’s Important:
