A big topic these days is how can you end pastoral communication frustration by increasing your church signup rate? Perhaps… People are physically sitting in your church, listening to your sermon. Some of them are first-time guests. Some are church members. You have just told them about an upcoming Bible study series, and you would like people to sign up for it now, while they are still spiritually engaged and motivated. You would also like your first-time guests to give you their contact information, so you can follow up with...

In times of national or international crises, our faith is tested. At the same time, though, an opportunity presents itself where those who are attending church but wavering or those who are not regular attendees, all find themselves in a desperate need and search for God.

Some churches have a landline and then one or more mobile numbers. It is estimated that every day, 150 million texts are sent to non-mobile numbers.

In short, multiple church numbers can cause calls and texts to fall through the cracks. What if you could have just ONE number for everything—texts and phone calls. In other words, reduce your church's communication cracks with just one church number? Zac...
You know you said it about what feels like a million times. You made announcements from the pulpit, sent out church bulletins, spoke to people personally...and yet, your congregants repeatedly...
Outreach, crusades, and going beyond-the-walls are all concepts many of us are familiar with. We understand our commission stated in Matt 28:19. In essence, it's "evangelism". It's reaching people for Christ using the contemporary tools available and a GO approach vs a "let's wait until they come" attitude. If that's true, then digital evangelism is exactly the same. Digital Evangelism is evangelism using digital tools and a digital strategy to drive people from online (broadcast) to offline (baptism). In this concept, the broadcast can be your live-streamed sermons, archived content...
Don’t let the ‘lower-than-text open rate’ put you off. Email for churches is very much alive, well, and super useful. If your church is using email as your main tool...
