Church attendance is on the decline. In 2000, 58% of adults had attended church in the last month. In 2015, only 46% of adults had attended church in the last month - a change of 12% in just 15 years. Making your church's first impression as a lasting impression is important to keep people coming back.

Does your church management software (ChMS) make work easier, or is it a beast that you dread facing daily? Use your ChMS to optimize your ministry. 

Are you stuck in the same old routine when it comes to managing your online giving? It happens. Once you've found what works for getting daily tasks completed efficiently, you may never step outside your comfort zone. By not exploring the features available to you, you could be missing out.

One of the challenges of church ministry is how little time there is to step back and evaluate. Sunday is, after all, coming soon, that email inbox is filling up, the staff meetings, pastoral visits, and task lists aren’t going anywhere. And all of these things are great—they’re part of the blessing of church work. But it’s hard to find time to evaluate your church’s processes and systems and ask “is this still working for us?” 

When our congregation approved the construction of a new sanctuary, my pastor told me that he wanted me to be in charge of the selection and installation of the PA system.

Whatever the method or capacity for projecting the message, our church sound systems can be a blessing and a curse. How do we keep the environment from sounding like a goose getting sucked into an oversized vacuum hose or the equivalent of an audio apocalypse from the feedback of a 1,000 hearing aids at a geriatric convention? Glad you asked.

It's not clear why church leaders consider the word 'business' negative when discussing operational, financial, or staff decisions. In reality, churches have staff, payroll, expenses, communication campaigns, and even loans for buildings. Sounds a lot like a 'church business.'

Creating custom church videos was out of reach for most churches in the past. Today, things are quite different because the cost of cameras, talent, and technology have decreased. This is good news for the Church. A research from Cisco shows that by 2019, video traffic will account for 80% of all consumer internet traffic, up from 67% in 2014.
