Reaching out to young adults online is a great tool, but Jessica Coblentz urges ministry to connect online with offline:

Assess on a regular basis whether your online ministry is an effective means to offline ministry. If your Facebook page has 400 fans but the same three people keep showing up for your events consider another approach.
