99 Copy-&-Paste Social Posts Your Church Can Use For Free

One of the best ways to boost engagement on your church’s social pages is by posting frequently. Many experts on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and other popular social platforms recommend posting at least once per day to be successful in reaching your community online.

But, it’s not easy coming up with content to fill your pages every day. Even more, it can be difficult to come up with quality content that not only keeps your pages alive but also truly connects with your audience.

But, I’m here to help with a solution that’s not only easy, it’s free.

For the past few years, I’ve been noticing the power of the simple text post. This format certainly works on Twitter since it was originally created for this purpose. It’s also applicable on Instagram stories where they can be used in Create Mode to present questions to your followers. However, the platform where simple text posts have seemed to really take off lately is Facebook.

Not long ago, Facebook implemented a new feature that would allow text posts using 85 characters or less to appear larger in the timeline. This makes these simple text posts stand out for users.

While I don’t think a church should ONLY use text posts on their pages (because that would look super boring really quickly), I do think they have a rightful place among graphic designs, real photos from your church, and videos. When used in conjunction with these other kinds of posts, simple text posts perform just as well statistically as the others on Facebook Pages and Facebook Groups—except they require much less work from you. At minimum, text posts can be used as fillers on days where you don’t have any other content ready. Or, they are a great way to begin going above and beyond by publishing more than one post per day.

To help you get started is using these posts, I’ve put together 99 examples that are ready to use on your church’s social pages. Plus, they are all 85 characters or less, so they’ll show up large on the timeline.

I’ve separated them into three categories for you to choose from—inspiration, interaction, and invitation. Simply copy and paste them right onto your page to start using them!

Or, to make them even more special, try adding a relevant emoji to the end of the post.

Again, I wouldn’t recommend using these as your only posts. I believe you need eye-catching graphics, photos, and videos to work in conjunction with these text posts to be successful. For the best social graphics for churches, I definitely recommend the social graphics from our partners, Church Motion Graphics. They make it easy to post engaging content every day that your community will love.

Now, onto the freebies…
