church technology

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.

The overuse of technology has the potential to decrease the amount of quality time that families spend together. In light of this, some might be skeptical of relying on the internet to lead family devotions. But when used carefully, the web provides a host of options for spiritual growth, including solid family devotionals that can be read online for free.

When a first-time guest pulls into your church parking lot, who is the first person they see? Most likely, it is a volunteer. When a new family checks in their children for the first time, to whom are they entrusting their precious babies? Again, it is probably a volunteer.

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? 

Administrative and professional staffs play a vital role in the success of any business, especially in churches. Technology is changing business practices around the world and the emergence of a virtual workforce is creating new opportunities.

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.

Many organizations, small businesses, and churches can easily overlook how employees manage and track their time. These same businesses may also overlook how a better time tracking process can improve their entire operation. Timeclock software is a tool that can help churches eliminate payroll errors, decrease payroll budgets, and save time. 

The end of the year is drawing near and so is Christmas. This is one of the most important seasons for churches and a time when members, guests, and visitors especially look forward to enjoying the comforting and lively holiday music. It is extremely important that the church sound system is at its best at Christmas.
