Digital Ministry

There’s a pretty good chance your ministry accepts digital gifts in some way, shape, or form. A donation page on your website, a mobile app, text giving, and giving kiosks all benefit the overall mission of the church. But, what worked for your church a few years ago may not be the best solution for you today. Online giving providers vary greatly and it just might be time to switch.

It's no news flash that many churches struggle with keeping consistent in their church communication efforts. Often, emails are sent out to the church irregularly, even social networks go without being updated daily or weekly. Emergencies do happen and small churches do struggle more without a huge staff or entire department to make things happen. But more than anything, being consistent in your church communication can be one of the best uses of church resources.

If your church isn’t yet using church software to check in children at church, this type of software can be a wonderful option to put in place to ensure the safety of children—both to protect them and to protect your church. Nearly all of the church management software systems offer check-in, and there are many options to consider. As you move through the process of deciding on a system, you’ll want to consider the speed of check-in, self-check-in vs. volunteer manned check-in. Cost is also a factor.

A successful Sunday school is more than a good curriculum, it’s a bridge that connects classrooms with family rooms in the home. Alongside a pastoral vision for ministry, children's ministry leaders can partner with parents to help them "train up a child in the way he should go" (Proverbs 22:6). Sunday school curriculum combined with online family devotions can help.

It’s tradition to make new plans and set new goals at the start of a new year. From home to work to church, pastors and church leaders are asking themselves: "What do I want to do to make this year better than last year?

Navigating social media communication for your church is an ever-moving target. Just when you think you understand one network, that network makes significant changes. And when you think you've got your graphics designed well, they stop getting likes. We know you need church social media solutions.

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.

Your church website remains to be the most frequented front door of your church. While mobile apps, text and email communication, and social media remain extremely valuable communication methods, the church website is all-important, whether viewed on a mobile device or computer.
