COMMUNITY CHURCH MOBILE APPS TOP 5 REASONS YOUR CHURCH NEEDS A MOBILE EXPERIENCE
2/26/2014
“The spiritual life isn’t just confined to holy days – it’s meant to be a full-time commitment to a way of life. This makes mobile the perfect platform for churches to expand into. Mobile devices are now with us all the time, and are in many ways our closest connection to the rest of the world. By launching a mobile app, a church (or any religious organization), can offer a 24/7 community connection to its members.”
1. VIDEO SHARING FOR SERVICES & EVENTS
When community members can’t make it to events, video can easily be uploaded and shared via mobile app or website.
Other related information (like the text of sermons) can also be shared in this way. This allows community members to connect and maintain their routine even when they’re away or unable to attend an event in person.

2. COMMUNICATION
Mobile apps can include chat, message boards, Q&A sessions with leaders, and even confessions!
It’s also easy to share information such as a schedule of programs, hours of recurring services, contact information for organizational officers, the address of the main facility, and more.
Mobile apps make it easy for community members to get in touch with each other, and with leaders, even when they’re on the go.

3. FUNDRAISING
Mobile apps are a great way to solicit contributions.
And even if community members aren’t inclined to donate, solicitation messages can contain invitations to share donation links via social media.
Asking for contributions at services can be limiting, but mobile apps allow you to open up creative ways to engage community members in fundraising initiatives using various channels.

4. SUPPORT FOR MEMBERS
Members sometimes need a channel through which they can share struggles and support each other, and mobile apps can meet this need.
Some churches even use apps that allow community members to submit and fulfill prayer requests.
In addition, various support services can be connected to a mobile app, enabling community members to find the help they need more easily (and anonymously, where appropriate).

5. INCREASE SERVICE & VOLUNTEERISM
By communicating about service and volunteer opportunities via mobile, an organization can remind community remembers about these opportunities at off-times.
It also becomes possible to link to related information, video, and more, which enables people to learn about what is available.
Extra information and rich content can often be a big driver of increased participation.
