Jeremy takes us on a basic tour of Snapchat using...Snapchat, the popular disappearing visual messaging app. He demonstrates how to set up an account, reply to Snaps and hints at ministry uses, including using Stories for small group discussion starters.
NOTE: The screen and buttons seen in the tutorial may be different according to your device's OS or the Snapchat app version installed. The functions described are the same — regardless of the version.
How can you make use of this image and video app to promote ministry to the young and young at heart? We'd love to hear from you.

Social media is more than being social. It’s a ministry. United Methodist Communications is using social media to inform, encourage, motivate, inspire, and engage followers of Christ--and we are resourcing churches to do the same. These efforts require financial support. If you believe in our mission, consider a tax-deductible donation to the work of United Methodist Communications through its Foundation at ResourceUMC.org/GiveUMCom.
