Thomas needed a job and prayer for his daugther, and through the Table, God delivered. For Thomas, the Table is having a bigger impact than some of the big boys:

The Table and Facebook: Work Together

Posted by Kevin D. Hendricks on 27 June 2011 |

What about Facebook? That's perhaps the most common question we get when people are first looking into the Table.

A few comments about the Table and Facebook...

The Table Does Not Replace Facebook
The Table is not simply a Christian version of Facebook. We're not here to compete with or replace Facebook (yikes, good luck with that!). We've talked about that at length.

The Table offers a different kind of social network experience. It's private, not public. It's about us, not me. It's designed to serve your church and that means more connection, less junk.

Use the Table & Facebook Together
Your church should use the Table and Facebook together. That's right: Use both. Facebook, the Table and even other social networks each have their own place. Each has their own specialty and focus. Use them for what they're good at:

Comparing Facebook, Twitter and the Table

With 500 million users Facebook is an ideal place for Christians to be. We think ‘go into all the world' includes virtual worlds like Facebook. It's a great place for your church to post events, share news and engage with people in a way that enables evangelism and connection.

The Table, on the other hand, offers something different. It specializes in communication within your church. It makes introductions easier, enables more intimate connections and encourages service and prayer.

Facebook Integration
We make using Facebook and the Table easy. Our improved Facebook intregration (coming soon!) will let you log in using Facebook. You can sign up using Facebook as well, which will import personal info and your profile picture. That will be a huge help to avoid those dreaded default profile pictures. You'll also be able to add friends from Facebook automatically or have friends recommended based on Facebook connections. You'll also be able to import your Facebook status.

All of that is just the ground floor of our Facebook integration. We plan to roll out more as we go forward, but this gives us a good base to build from.

Using the Tools That Work
As a church you have to use the tools that work to help you accomplish your goals. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Flickr and even the Table all do different things and can help your church in different ways. Use what works best. There's sure to be some overlap, but that's OK. Different people use different tools in different ways, and by using multiple tools together you can reach more people.
