Challenge
In a fast-paced world, even committed churchgoers often find it challenging to stay connected. A Midwest mega-church recognized this issue, especially for its mobile workforce and members who frequently traveled. While the church had successfully introduced a weekly live stream to keep members engaged, gaps remained in their digital strategy.
Without a reliable, interactive communication platform, the church struggled to provide convenient options for online giving and event registration. Email communication alone wasn’t sufficient to reach members in a way that fit their busy lifestyles. To bridge this gap, the church sought a mobile-friendly solution that would allow members to interact with the church community at their own pace, regardless of location.
Solution
Technology Partners collaborated with the church to develop a custom mobile app tailored to their unique needs.
Key actions included:
- Interactive Features: Designed the app to include online giving, event registration, and live streaming capabilities.
- Engaging Content: Integrated features like worship set lists, weekend programs, and app-exclusive content, such as games for children’s ministry.
- User-Friendly Design: Ensured the app’s interface was intuitive and accessible, allowing members to navigate seamlessly.
The app was built to keep content fresh, relevant, and engaging, encouraging repeated interactions and fostering a deeper connection with the church community.
Results
Since the app’s launch, the church has experienced significant benefits in engagement and operations.
The new app has driven an increase in giving, providing additional resources for community initiatives and outreach programs. Members now have instant access to live streams, event details, and exclusive app-only features, such as worship set lists and interactive children’s games.
We are honored to help our client create a tool that brings their community closer together, meeting members where they are and enhancing their spiritual journey.
