Facebook page, group, or profile?
I want to make a Facebook account for my church. I want to use it to upload pictures, videos. I also want the members to be able to access it easily and be able to write comments of their own. I'm not sure which kind of account to use. Which ones would you recommend and why?

Thanks in advance
Oh and if possible stream services online

Here is info from Facebook's Help Center:
Pages allow real organizations, businesses, celebrities and brands to communicate broadly with people who like them. Pages may only be created and managed by official representatives.
Groups provide a closed space for small groups of people to communicate about shared interests. Groups can be created by anyone.
Other differences include:
Pages
â– 
Privacy: Page information and posts are public and generally available to everyone on Facebook.
â– 
Audience: Anyone can like a Page to become connected with it and get News Feed updates. There is no limit to how many people can like a Page.
â– 
Communication: Page admins can share posts under the Page’s name. Page posts appear in the News Feed of people who like the Page. Page admins can also create customized tabs for their Pages and check Page Insights to track the Page’s growth and activity.


Groups
â– 
Privacy: In addition to an open setting, more privacy settings are available for groups. In secret and closed groups, posts are only visible to group members.
â– 
Audience: Group members must be approved or added by other members. When a group reaches a certain size, some features are limited. The most useful groups tend to be the ones you create with small groups of people you know.
â– 
Communication: In groups, members receive notifications by default when any member posts in the group. Group members can participate in chats, upload photos to shared albums, collaborate on group docs, and invite all members to group events.

Here's a link that can also help you:

Reading your preferences and Jen Fong's link above, I'd suggest a Facebook Group, because your Church Group will find it easily accessible to read and react to, without too many complications of a Facebook Page. One key word is Privacy, A Facebook Page is open to the public, while Facebook Groups can be adjusted to OPEN, CLOSED, or SECRET privacy settings. A Facebook Profile is usually meant for a single individual.

Much success to your Facebooking! God bless
