Is Your Church Tech Savvy?

Is Your Church Tech Savvy?

Here’s a quick list of what comes to mind:

  • Overall willingness to look for technological solutions to everyday problems
  • Has an interactive website that’s more than just a brochure for the church
  • Takes online donations via the church website
  • Takes online registrations and payments for events; even has an (up-to-date) events calendar on the church website
  • Uses some form of web-based church management software (ChMS) that allows church staff, lay leaders, and congregants to connect online and manage the church all in one place
  • Registers and checks in kids through their ChMS for maximum security
  • Provides timely podcasts and/or video podcasts online to extend reach of the church
  • Has a Facebook or other social media presence such as Twitter feed, MySpace, etc. and uses it to connect with members
  • Provides small group lists online for people to sign up for; perhaps even allows people to view lists of current volunteer positions in need of filling
