Social Media Ethics Statement

​The mission of Community of Christ is to proclaim Jesus Christ and promote communities of joy, hope, love, and peace. Social media provides opportunities for self-expression, community building, witness and education, faithful disagreement, and fulfillment of Christ’s mission. Social media, which provides ways to make relationships and engage in dialogue, has tools to promote or diminish Christ’s mission. 

The purpose of this ethics statement is to affirm for Community of Christ disciples and priesthood that Christ’s calling is lived out in all aspects of our lives including interactions on social media. Priesthood members and disciples of Jesus should consider the following guidance when using social media. The five elements of this guidance work together and should not be applied separately when applied to interactions and relationships on social media.
