SALT Certified Church Social Media Strategist

The SALT Certified Church Social Media Strategist path is a 4-week sprint designed to help your church move from inconsistent, reactive posting to a clear, strategic, and sustainable social media presence. Built from trusted SALT Community training, this certification gives you a simple system for knowing what to post, why it matters, and how to make it work—without adding more to your plate.

You’ll start by building a one-page strategy, then learn how to create content that actually connects, expand into short-form and YouTube, and finally implement systems for scheduling, automation, and measurement. Each step is designed to be practical and repeatable—so your team can stay consistent long after the certification is complete.

By the end, your church won’t just be “on social”—you’ll have a SALT Certified Church Social Media Strategist communicating with clarity, growing your audience, and using your platforms to meaningfully reach people.

  • Use Canva to create graphics quickly without a dedicated designer on staff
  • Produce Reels, short-form video clips, and YouTube content from your existing Sunday footage
  • Repurpose one Sunday recording into a full week of platform-specific content
  • Build a scheduling and automation system so social media stops being a weekly scramble
  • Measure what's working and adjust your strategy without overthinking the data

Target Audience

  • Church communicators, pastors, or volunteers who are managing social media and want a simple, sustainable system they'll actually stick to. Particularly useful for one-person comms teams who are posting inconsistently and want to get ahead of the content calendar.

Requirements

  • No technical prerequisites. You should have administrative access to your church's social media accounts before starting Week 1. Basic smartphone or computer comfort is all that's required. If you have already completed SALT Certified Church Social Media Strategist, this certification will feel like a natural acceleration of that work, but it also stands alone for teams focused specifically on social.
