Our social media presence, which began on january 20, 2014 with our first facebook post, continues to evolve. On facebook, our average weekly reach was 150,046 people in 2023, up from 1,046 people between the years 2022- 2023. This increase is due to our decision to increase spending on facebook advertising and increase our posting frequency. Our website offers all of our sermon messages, bible studies, youth educational curriculum & full- length books for free. We average 4,751 unique user visits to our website per week. We posted our first video on youtube on august 8, 2012, and currently have 236 videos. We also update & post content on facebook, spotify, & rumble. Our mobile device application (app), created in 2019, has been downloaded by approximately 24,296 devices, and the app has been opened 448,696 times since its creation. This encompasses our "social media" outreach. We continue to make available our full youth educational curriculum free of charge on our website.
