There are numerous benefits to having a mobile app for your church. A mobile app will assist you in spreading the gospel, interacting with your church, and encouraging your followers. The free Church Mobile App from Sharefaith, which is available on all Complete membership options, provides a variety of benefits, but these five are among the most popular.
There Are 5 Benefits to Having a Church Mobile App
Push Notifications Allow You To Always Stay In Touch With Your Congregation.
Sending push notifications is similar to sending pre-written text messages. They’re a quick and easy way to communicate with your congregation. If you don’t want to wait until Sunday to notify people about future events, you may simply send push alerts. As soon as your church’s mobile app is accessible and you’ve introduced it to your members, you can start delivering push notifications from it. Push notifications can be used to send calendar reminders, event reminders, invites, conferences, bible studies, care groups, Sunday sermon themes, prayer alerts, schedule changes, and more.
Tithing and charity contributions have increased
Members of your congregation can tithe at any time, not just on Sundays, by using the church mobile app. If you combine your tithe option with a notice, you may be able to make a special offering for a specific need. If a family is in financial hardship and requires financial assistance, you can immediately notify the entire congregation. Donations can be made immediately away by going to the tithing/donations section after receiving the push notification. It’s quick, safe, simple to use, and really valuable.
A more comprehensive and potent approach to Bible study.
Sundays are not the only days for education and study. Take your audience on an amazing Bible study trip by using your mobile app to combine your blog and sermon audio/video as a coherent study tool. In addition to the Sunday sermons, if you’re teaching through the Book of Romans, your weekly/daily blog articles can teach/teach and encourage users. Working in this manner aids in the achievement of a goal. It’s a fantastic combination of your blog writings and instruction that has made influenced me.
Your viewers and listeners would completely understand your sermon topic by the end of your sermon series on Romans because they would have received continual study material in addition to your sermon audio and video. It’s similar to having a sermon followed by a debate. This is easier, more impactful, and interesting than doing this manually on a Sunday and then distributing the notes in a newsletter. Anyone can use it because it is available to everyone all over the world.
It is simple to educate and attract new visitors
It’s a safe assumption that new visitors will use Google to look for churches in your area. Your website should be accessible on the search engine results page. They can already find all of the information they need. Your church’s mobile app, on the other hand, takes a step further. You mention on your website that you have a mobile app. You can also use a church texting service to call the attendees as the texting still beats email notifications or any other means of communication.
They download the App and can take their time getting acquainted with your vision, mission, offering, and teaching style without being confined to a computer at all times. After gaining a feel of who you are and what you do, first-time visitors have a clearer understanding of who you are and what you stand for. Once new visitors or members have agreed to accept them, you can send them personalised messages via push notifications.
You must expand your budget and money in order to grow your financial resources
When your ministry’s budget is already pushed thin, it’s tough to dedicate cash, even to worthy IT solutions. Your church mobile app is already included in your Complete plan because you are a Sharefaith member. As a result, your financial resources for other pursuits have grown. There is no need to pay upfront expenditures of $600-$1,000, as well as monthly hosting fees.
Your church’s mobile app is linked to its website. You simply need to make one change before publishing to all of your platforms. You might save a lot of money if you combined your mobile app, website and hosting, 80,000 photos, Sunday School Curriculum, and worship presentation software under a single subscription. As a result, the Sharefaith Complete plan is the best upgrade ever: it includes everything you require.
