With a church mobile app, the word of God and church in general, only a click away

Given that most if not all members of your congregation has a smartphone or a device which supports mobile app, there is a need to utilize this opportunity to reach them wherever they are. There might be some announcement that the church would like to reach their members in the course of week, other means which can be used to reach the congregation might not be very effective but with a church mobile app, all will be reached and the message will be spread far and wide. 

Having a church mobile app customized to your church is not only a great way of reaching the congregation but also a platform where the church members can interact among themselves. The apps are easy to use and the members do not have to grapple with issues of technology, they will find it a very convenient way to get information from their church. Even when they are unable to attend the sermons they can get the message that was preached and get all the blessings.

 All that has to be done to ensure that this is achieved is to customize the church mobile app, where the church activities are synchronized in a such a way that members will feel as if they are following the sermon and proceeding in a real time basis. We should embrace technology to make our lives easier, the same way the churches should use the latest technological advancement to reach us as well as new faithful. A church mobile app ,not only makes our phones mobile churches but also tools which can help in bringing the word of God close to our daily lives. The word of God as well as our churches is a click away, with the mobile app one can never miss a thing in church, ranging from the daily encouragement messages to the music which sooth our hearts, it is a tool which should have been in place long time ago.

Church App

Does your church have a mobile app yet? What’s the hold up? Read this article to see why churches all over the world are jumping on board and getting a church app developed for their church specifically!

Technology advances every day. The opportunities created each and every day are spectacular, and can be used in many ways. Church apps all started with Apple and the idea to make it easier for any organization to stay in touch with all their members or clients. Apps are being used for businesses worldwide as they discover the ability to reach out and talk to all of their clients, on a mass scale or even individually!

We saw this technology and the potential it had for churches, no matter the size, and took action. Church apps provide the ability to do things differently, and much more efficiently. The features, all initially geared toward sales and business, have been re purposed and allow you to stay in touch with your congregation like never before.

Features that include everything from direct and mass contact to running events and raising awareness for them are every director’s dream. You can now set up an event within the app, raise awareness for it by sending out messages to everyone who has the app downloaded, at the same time, and even have people check in as they show up to the event.

Push notifications are what you call that mass messaging feature and it doesn't stop there. Everyone who has the app downloaded will get the push notification. Or message, but what if you could be more selective? Perhaps a small group or church events are among the only people you wish to receive a message. No problem. With cool features like geo fencing, you can do just that. A geo fence, while it sounds complicated and alien, is actually quite simple. It’s a “fence” that you can put around anything that can be anywhere, like a house for example, and any message you choose will only go to people within that “fence.” We've seen it used in very creative ways, and we see even more as churches catch on to what they can do with it.

Example: One of our churches created a geo fence around their actual church on Sundays. What happens is members drive by, and if they weren't planning on going, they get a chance to rethink it. It’s a gentle and in discriminant way to make sure all members are reminded and even have a bit of fun.

Check out what a church app is and what it could do for your church today. If you are mobile and don’t have a set location it’s the answer to staying in touch with people you minister to. If you have a church, I don’t have to tell you there are easier ways of doing things!
