Administrators Pastor Matt Posted October 9, 2019 Administrators Share Posted October 9, 2019 Does anyone here attend a church that has its own Android/iphone app for its members? It the day and age that we live in, it seems more and more common that churches are using different forms of technology. If your church has its own app, Do you find it beneficial/helpful? What size is the church? Did you stop printing paper bulletins and go digital? Did it increase the tithing/offering? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Alan Posted October 10, 2019 Members Share Posted October 10, 2019 Can anybody give us an example of an IFB church having a church app? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Pastor Matt Posted October 10, 2019 Author Administrators Share Posted October 10, 2019 I'm not sure I've seen an IFB church have one. I'm in the process of making one for our church, and was just curious if other churches of like faith had one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Jim_Alaska Posted October 11, 2019 Administrators Share Posted October 11, 2019 In my limited experience I have not seen one, I see many with websites, but no apps. Now the JW's have extensive apps for their people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's definitely an option. I already started to develop one for our church members, should have it ready in a week or so. The reason I'm going with an app for us instead of chat software is a few reasons. Online Giving option is right there when opening the app. I can send push notifications to members phones at any time. Church Directory Section Prayer Requests Upcoming Events Privacy. Certain pages requires login. We'll see if this works for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it did not work for us. I found that using bulk text messages to communicate worked better for our church. Those 50 and up in our church had no desire to use or they just couldn't figure out technology to use the church app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Donut_brand_donuts Posted February 19, 2023 Members Share Posted February 19, 2023 Interesting, I thought of building an app but wondered if we would run into the same problem. Thanks for sharing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
