Social Media:
The main web-based and media communication tool for our ministry is Facebook (www.facebook.com/surgejh). You are not required to have a facebook page, but are strongly encouraged to consider having one. Due to the use of facebook and other social media resources (twitter, 4square, and texting), we have some expectations: All communication should be positive, appropriate and is not intended to offend, demean, or criticize. Additionally, gossip and rumors are still a sin even if they are not spoken (Eph. 4:31) Communication with the students of the opposite sex should be in a open public forum (*wall or comment box) Pictures & videos posted or sent should be appropriate, modest, and should not include actions, lifestyle, or practices that would offend (*see above) Social media is an opportunity to extend your positive connection, communicate with students and go to their world, but it is not your role to police or filter.
