Do you ever get tired of posting on your church’s various social media profiles and pages? Posting every day and thinking of things to post every day can be tiring and time-consuming. That’s why we like using social media management tools to help take the load off.

Here are 3 Free Social Media Management Tools that you can use for your church: 

1. Later

Visually plan schedule and analyze posts for Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, and Twitter. Later has many useful tools for you to use, including a Visual Content Calendar that is intuitive and easy to use, you can start scheduling posts in minutes. Like all of the platforms on our list, Later is free to use. There are a few limits to free accounts, however, most churches with the only 3 social media accounts can get everything they need for free.

2. Hootsuite

With Hootsuite, you can manage all of your social media accounts in a single collaborative calendar. You can also build a single content library of branded content for your church. With the free account, you can post to up to 3 social accounts and schedule up to 30 posts at a time.

Last on our list is Buffer. With Buffer, Tell your church’s story and grow your audience with publishing, analytics, and engagement platform you can trust. Craft the perfect post for each social network, all in one place. Buffer is another great tool that your church can utilize. With Buffer, however, they do not openly advertise their free account.
