Hello and welcome. We are not a large group, but we do have a variety of Pastors, Missionaries, and lay people that participate here. Looking forward to getting to know you.

While I believe that repentance is necessary for salvation (not going to discuss that in this section), I don't think that the problem of millennials leaving the church is a pastor thing, but Christians in general. We as Christians should be studying the Bible and know why we believe what we believe. It should be for every Christian, not just the pastor.

I would like to recommend IFB churches to prayerfully consider taking on Brother Jordan & Alicia for support. Jordan has been a part of Online Baptist for a few years now and just last week I was able to meet him in person for the first time. When Brother Jordan contact me about coming to our church to present his ministry, I talk him we are a small church and that we are not in a position to take on new missionaries at this point. That usually discouraged missionaries, but Jordan said, they will come. Brother Jordan and his wife Alicia did a wonderful job singing for us, and our hearts were blessed after watching his video presentation and hearing him preach. This young man has a big passion for the Nubi people and you can tell he and his wife can't wait to get there to start their ministry. All I ask is two things for the pastors that read this. Pray for the Kurecki family!!! Pray about financially supporting them Our church has a missions conference in March and we will be praying about adding them to our missionary family at that point. Thank you and God bless. -
It was a joy to have @Jordan Kurecki preach and present his work for us. It was good to to finally meet him after knowing him online for a few years. I want to encourage all you pastors out there to give him a call and have him present his work in your church, you will be blessed. Thank you Brother for coming to our small church and being a help to our people.

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.

I'm heading out to preach at Vision Baptist College tomorrow, when I get back I'll see what I can do. Thank you.

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.

I do like this idea, and I will look into adding it to this software.

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?

I'm going to leave it there for now, but I just scratch my had sometimes.

I was just looking at some of the stats from my. online Baptist, and one of the biggest search queries in this last month that people have found us was by googling wife spanking. Now we're talking about husbands who discipline their wife by spanking. I guess I'm just kind of dumbfounded that people would actually be searching for this. Is this still a thing today? Here is the link.

A Church Closes Then Sold Who Gets The Money?
PastorMatt replied to The Glory Land's topic in The Lounge
I'm no expert on this matter so I could be wrong, but I would think that the 3 board members that are left would discuss and vote on what to do with the monies that are left over. I do not know anything about your situation, but I would vote that the monies go to a like minded church that could use the funds to keep the doors open. -
Does Modesty change with the culture?
PastorMatt replied to dmedicinus's topic in IFB Biblical Issues
I don't believe Biblical modesty changes. Some pants are modest, some are immodest. Some skirts/dresses are modest, some are immodest. What I think changes is our acceptability to certain things. Culture will always change, but sin will always be sin. -
I have never heard of this document, but I would love to see it or even possibly see about reviving one.

Because of the formatting, the software though it was malicious code so blocked it. I'm guessing that is what it was.
