Faithlife, the maker of Logos Bible Software and many other technological solutions for Christian churches, has made its foray into feature-length films with its first documentary on Biblical accuracy called, "Fragments of Truth."

Pastors, church communicators, and church leaders need a reliable and efficient way to collect, organize, and manage church member data. This is data is vital for effective communications, volunteerism, fundraising, and more. A strong and easy to use church management software solution is a powerful tool that can help.

In the spirit of generosity, Life.Church, Compassion International, and a number of Christian organizations are working together on a new open source initiative called Open Digerati. This initiative will unify people who are kingdom-minded and skilled in technology, giving them a place to serve the Church with their God-given talent.

Every dime that comes through a church is priceless, especially when funds are derived from generous donations and the hard-working hands of volunteers. Therefore, churches need the best expense management tools to avoid any excess spending or misuse of church funds and are turning to expense management software to track spending and easily manage payments.

Church planters need all the help they can get. The business of launching a new church and establishing a new worship community requires all the strength God can offer. Luckily, churches can also rely on missionally-focused church planting networks to provide a great deal of support and guidance during the process too. But what other resources are available?

On a weekly basis, 15 women from countries across North America, Africa, Europe, and Asia gathered together through a Zoom video conference — Bible study notes in hand — ready to discuss the book of Romans. Using video conferencing software for a Bible study may be a novelty to many and very foreign to some, and as technology evolves we face new opportunities to use tech for good.

Chances are if you are a pastor or if you work with one, the following question has come up, "when are you (or when is your pastor) planning to publish a book?" It's fairly common for a pastor to want to write a book, especially after the number of years they spend in study. After writing dissertations and papers galore, along with years of writing sermons, pulling together a book shouldn't seem too daunting. Yet, it still is.

Affordability is one of the first criteria churches use when considering investing in a church management software solution (ChMS). Like any major purchase, pastors and church leaders will likely do a cost-benefit analysis before choosing a solution for their church. Knowing what features are available at certain price points and what features your church actually needs is essential to making a wise decision.
