Blog Ministry Many pastors say blogging has become an increasingly integral part of their ministries as they attempt to reverse the decline in church attendance among people in their 20s and 30s reports the Washington Post. Mark Batterson, National Community Church in the District of Columbia, spends 20% of his workday updating his blog, “Evotional.” Up to 25,000 visit http://www.evotional.com each month. “Increasingly, people want a personal connection with their church and their pastor,” says Brian Bailey, co-author of the upcoming book, The Blogging Church.
