Organize Your Contact Information After the Easter service, you might find yourself with a collection of connection cards, guest books, or online sign-ups. It’s crucial to promptly…

In the realm of digital outreach, livestreaming has become a vital tool for churches worldwide, allowing them to share sermons and services with a broader congregation. As we move into 2025, many churches have relied on Facebook as a platform to support and share their livestreams. While Facebook has never made this an entirely seamless process, it was at least a viable option. However, recent developments indicate a shift in this dynamic, posing new challenges for churches aiming to maintain an online presence. One of the significant changes coming to Facebook’s livestreaming service is the reduction in video retention times….

Recently, I was talking to my friend Kenny Jahng on Facebook about Digital Church and he asked me a few questions that really got me thinking about why we are building this platform for churches. He asked me what our specialty was, and how Digital Church is different from the other church website solutions that are available. The pastors we work with understand how easy it is to get lost in the weeds. In fact, one of the most important things we do for the clients that we work closely with in Digital Church Agency is to walk them through…

Years ago, I was working as a worship pastor in a church in Ohio when I came across Michael Hyatt’s blog and podcast. Around that time, he released a book called Platform: Get Noticed in a Noisy World. In his book, he talked about why it’s so important to Start with Wow. The basic concept was simple: Make sure you can make a great first impression. Start your relationships with a sense of awe. Give people a reason to want to continue to learn more about who you are and what you have to offer. Around the same time, I…

And we at Digital Church will only be as strong as our ability to serve you. So we set out on a major task recently, and that was to fully custom design a support website where you can find all the help you need to build a website or app that will propel your church into digital ministry. Instead of just copying what others have done, we took a holistic…

Coronavirus has become a really big deal over the last several weeks. There’s no denying that. Churches are expecting low attendance or cancelling their public worship experiences altogether to lead the way in keeping their community safe from the spread of this disease. But then, most churches are left wondering how they’ll keep their organization strong and their people engaged in their faith while public worship gatherings are sent to the back burner. We’ve said for years that “Church isn’t about this building or this hour of your week. The church is you.” But now we have to figure out…

We’ve all been there… January 1 hits, and we set a New Year’s Resolution. By the end of the first week, we’re already off the wagon. Goals are nothing but dreams until you have a strategy or system to make your goals a reality (Check out Atomic Habits by James Clear).
