Searching for church Valentine ideas?<\/p>\n
Valentine\u2019s Day provides a great opportunity for churches to talk about love and demonstrate love to others.<\/p>\n
Over the years, I\u2019ve had numerous conversations with church leaders and church communicators \u2013 in person, on Twitter, and on Facebook \u2013 about church Valentine ideas.\u00a0 I\u2019m amazed at all the creative things churches are doing!<\/p>\n
The church Valentine ideas I\u2019ve heard tend to fall into two categories. The first is Valentine social media campaigns designed to point people to the love of God. The second is Valentine events designed to help couples develop loving, Christ-centered relationships.<\/p>\n
As you consider various social media ideas, remember that social media has (at least) two purposes.\u00a0 First, it can lead to discussion, engagement, and deeper relationships among the people who are already a part of your church.<\/p>\n
Second, it can help people who are not a part of your church to connect with Christians and to hear Christian perspectives on love and relationships. In other words, church Valentine ideas for social media are good church outreach ideas.<\/p>\n
1) Maybe a \u201clove your neighbor\u201d campaign type thing\u2026.??\u00a0@PastorJenna<\/p>\n
2) We are posting daily \u201clove\u201d scripture texts on FB. Pleasantly surprised how many people click on them to read them. @revjenn<\/p>\n
3) Connect with people who feel a little more lonely on #ValentinesDay, and invite them in to community.\u00a0@crazypastor<\/p>\n
4) Valentine\u2019s Day is another big Chocolate day. Another chance to educate about fair trade and justice.\u00a0@FatPastor<\/p>\n
5) I will probably post about the real\u00a0Valentine @PastorJoelle<\/p>\n
6) Our school kids are making ecards that the senior citizens in the computer learning class will open\u00a0@Conductor222<\/p>\n
7) How about making\/sharing a meme of Jesus with the caption: Who love you, baby? @RevWeb<\/p>\n
8) Remind everyone they are loved EVERYDAY! #YouAreBeloved @thelepper<\/p>\n
9) Used 1 Cor 13 on blog to talk about God\u2019s love through storytelling\u00a0@caseyfitzgerald<\/p>\n
10) Flip the script \u2013 tell the world that God\u2019s LOVE is for creation, animals, people \u2013 not just romantic love @J_at_Seminary<\/p>\n
11) I could envision an Instagram\/twitter campaign to post pictures answering question, \u201cWhat is love?\u201d @FatPastor<\/p>\n
Bonus:<\/strong> It\u2019s also the perfect excuse to quote risqu\u00e9 verses from Song of Solomon. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n Just as Valentine\u2019s Day social media ideas can impact both the people who are already a part of your church as well as those who are not a part of it, church Valentine events can impact both groups as well.<\/p>\n Everyone wants to love and be loved!\u00a0 This includes Christians and non-Christians, those who are a part of your church and those who aren\u2019t. So, when you do these church Valentine\u2019s Day events, be sure to communicate them both inside and outside your community of believers.<\/p>\n 1) Hold a Blood Drive and hand out chocolates to blood donors! @MeredithGould<\/p>\n 2) Our church is doing vow renewals \u2013 should publicize on soc.med. @vcwoodbury<\/p>\n 3) Free childcare for church families by the youth group. -Melissa Bull<\/p>\n 4) We do a \u201cLove Week\u201d campaign and encourage serving the community and random acts of kindness. -Carly Byram<\/p>\n 5) Our student ministry holds a Valentines Gala each year. One of our guys who volunteers with them is a chef and has the kids cook a 5star meal, our associate pastor is a photographer so each couple gets their pic taken, also a silent auction, and entertainment. $30 per person. It\u2019s their biggest fundraiser each year -Sherry Polk<\/p>\n 6) We do an event called The Great Date Night where we bring in a comedian or entertainer and provide childcare. -Meredith Thompson<\/p>\n 7) Father daughter dance. -Delores Eilrich<\/p>\n 8) Our student ministry does singing telegrams in our AM\/PM services the Sunday before Valentine\u2019s Day. They also deliver goodies\/flowers on Valentine\u2019s day. It\u2019s a great fundraiser for them and probably their biggest all year. -Kristin Coats<\/p>\n 9) We\u2019re having a children\u2019s ministry serve project making v-day cards for nursing home residents that will be delivered early next week for distribution by the nursing home staff. -Almeda McMullen Smith<\/p>\n 10) We have a Love out Loud Day on the 13th at our local food pantry. Providing an extra bag of pantry staples to 330 families! -Veronica P Brunson<\/p>\n 11) XO Marriage conference simulcast in our church. We do a catered meal on Friday night. It is a great way to invest in the marriages in and around our church. -River Live<\/p>\n Let us love one another, for love comes from God. -1 John 4:7-9<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Click to share this image on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest or Instagram <\/p>\n The bible tells us \u201cGod so loved<\/strong> the world, that he gave\u2026\u201d and He loves us so much that \u201cWhile we were still sinners, Christ died for us.\u201d<\/p>\n Jesus love compelled him to leave his \u201ccomfort zone\u201d of heaven and take action.<\/p>\n If you feel like lately your church has been too inward focused, or you sense that God is calling you to do more to read the people in your community, consider the role your website has in this.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re not sure or want to do better with website design or search engine optimization, we would love to help.<\/p>\n Fill out the form below (mobile) or to the right (desktop) to Schedule a Discovery Call with a member of our team.<\/strong><\/p>\n Continue reading\u2026 Church Outreach Ideas & Events for Every Holiday and Season\u00a0and 7 Ways to Promote Your Church Outreach Event Online.<\/p>\n Co-founder & CEO, OurChurch.Com<\/strong><\/p>\n Paul has been the CEO of OurChurch.Com since its founding in 1996, combining his passion for faith and technology to lead the organization.<\/span><\/p>\n An accomplished writer, Paul has authored over 2,000 articles on faith and technology, featured on platforms like <\/span>ChurchLeaders.com<\/span>, <\/span>The JoyFM<\/span>, and his personal blog, <\/span>LiveIntentionally.org<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n Beyond his professional achievements, Paul serves as an elder at <\/span>Journey Community Church<\/span> and is deeply engaged in his community through his involvement with the Florida Sheriffs Youth Ranch and the Safety Harbor Chamber of Commerce.
