Facebook, Twitter & Texting Conference launches
October 6, 2009 - Lexington, SC - Scott Vaughan, this week, launched his new Facebook, Twitter & Texting conference designed to help churches understand the new paradigm for church communication ministry. The three-hour learning experience provides an understanding of database-driven communication, which is essential to understanding social networking and social media. The back half of the event includes a demonstration of Facebook and Twitter, and how the two can be used to improve internal church communication and street-to-door communication. "The deck has been reshuffled," Vaughan said. "Printing is still necessary, but is becoming less of a priority. The new priority is web-based communication, social networking, and person-to-person networking through front-door ministries. There's a big upside for churches - it's going to be less expensive than traditional communication methods."

The Hired Gun & The Sunday School Project
October 1, 2009 - Lexington, SC - Scott Vaughan Communications, LLC has created two new wings of ministry, The Hired Gun professional writing services, and The Sunday School Project designed to help churches with traditional Sunday School growth. "These two new efforts are customer-driven," Vaughan said. "More and more, I am contacted by churches about helping improve poor website and print copy; and, churches are realizing that spiritual and numerical growth can occur through traditional Sunday School. My 20-year ministry as an adult Sunday School teacher incorporates many organizational and communication strategies to help people grow. These two efforts are opening doors for me to serve churches at a new level."

On-Line Learning Experiences Nearing Reality
August 26, 2009 - Lexington, SC - Scott Vaughan today announced discussions with Clarix Technologies regarding online learning experiences in Fall 2009. The one-hour experiences, offered regularly, will provide small-group learning and Q&A around specific, focused topics. "This will not replace the value of the live presentation and group interaction," Vaughan said. "But, it will allow me to offer an alternative for those who can't logistically attend an event or who desire specific, topical information without travel and large time commitments." Vaughan said the one-hour experiences will include a basic conference fee to offset costs.
