Ministry Associate for Social Media
Min. Shavon Walker
Shavon Walker is a member of First Baptist Church of Berkeley, assists with services for Burien Community Church in Washington, and is a graduate of Berkeley School of Theology. She, like many of her peers, has been acquainted with social media since the 1990s. At the start of the pandemic, she realized that there was a need for a ministry based on social media. To that end, she has given seminars on social media to her local church, made short videos on TikTok, and currently does a cooking stream with an eye toward pastoral care on Twitch, a real time livestream platform (twitch.tv/jane_henry). She lives with her husband, Jahi, and her cat, Mocha.
Please contact Shavon if you are interested in having her consult with your congregation on using social media in your ministry.
