Church Communications

Implementing a strategic end of year giving plan can accelerate the growth and forward movement of your church or ministry. Guiding your congregation to understand the heart of giving not only helps your ministry, but it’s an essential part of their personal spiritual journey.

Church communication can feel daunting at times even for the most experienced church communicators and pastors. Thriving churches communicate in ways that simplify this process and focus on getting the message to their audience with ease.

Technology plays a vital role in the modern church, and "smart" technology is starting to transform how church buildings and facilities are managed. Smart church building technology also supports and provides new levels of church security which is a welcome benefit.

Efficient and timely communication remains a top goal for churches, pastors, and church communicators. With the overabundance and variation of social media apps being used by people today, along with the number of emails being sent and received, the advantages of text messaging for churches is obvious - everyone texts because it is direct, simple, and at everyone's fingertips.

It is no secret that embracing technology is something that many churches still struggle with. Forty-six percent of churches believe services are becoming too focused on technology, even though 'going digital' is vital to church growth and reaching more people with the Gospel in this modern age.

Facebook's free live streaming services have opened up a world of opportunity for churches to reach out to their audience through live video content. Churches love the number of people who are able to watch their Facebook live videos, however, there are problems with accurately tracking the number of attendees. Often these numbers are even inflated and may rarely include new people which can be bad news for churches. So what is this service actually providing and is it worth it? 

Creating an inviting and warm experience for first-time guests before, during, and after worship services and events is important. A primary goal for church staff and volunteers should be to help guests feel loved and welcomed throughout the week as well. So how does your church make certain that guests stay connected after their visit?

Every church communicator, administrator, and pastor spends countless hours each week creating and designing communications materials, social media posts, and presentations. Churches want to create a professional look but may struggle with graphic design and might not have the budget to purchase expensive software or hire professional designers.
