Spring is just around the corner! It will arrive on Friday, March 20, 2026, at 10:46AM to be exact! Do you know how I know this? I found it on Google. Technology is remarkable and has become a permanent part of our lives. The Chapel’s Board recently committed to a plan to “advertise” Emma Anderson Memorial Chapel. For 75 years we have served the Topsail Island community by offering a peaceful sanctuary just steps from the water. We want more people to know we are here. We believe now is the time to take advantage of technology to engage with our community, reach new audiences, and spread our message.
In the coming weeks, you will begin to see ads in local printed publications. These should be effective in getting the information and invitation to a larger group of area residents and seasonal visitors. However, there is another method that we are exploring that can be a very powerful digital marketing strategy and that is Facebook and Instagram. Some of our younger affiliates are creating these platforms for the Chapel as I write this article. These platforms, Facebook and Instagram, can be great engagement tools and an effective way to share the gospel. They will provide helpful information about the Chapel such as our history, where we are located, when we gather, Sunday service highlights, programs for adults and youth, special music, specific dates and times, upcoming events and photos of recent activities. It is all about exposure, information, and fostering closer connections so we can share the good news of Jesus Christ and help disciple believers.
So, get ready to engage. We will need you to “like us” on Facebook and follow us on Instagram…maybe at…#ChapelByTheSea, #SeasideWorship, #Faith, #God, #EmmaAndersonChapel or others. Coming soon!
