Wow! Pastor Gary that’s a tremendous endeavor! I have similar aspirations and I’m building the foundations for what I want to see for my community at @BTCforPlebs and also my local church. While I wish my Learn Nostr guide on my website was fully fleashed out, I have learned a lot of running relays for communities like churches for communication. Just like with most things nostr, it’s not the most user friendly but is definitely the most censorship resistant when done right! When setting up a community type group - The most important part is the relay. I am running Hodlbods ’frith’ relay. Once you have this relay connected to a website, that is the key to running a nostr group. The tool you use on the front end is called ‘Flotilla’ you can download that from the App Stores, visit the website, or host it yourself for the most sovereign experience.

The church is now being pushed to do something, I have been trying to get them to move for a few years. Sadly while many want to change from legacy social media and finance, only a few will make the move
