Strategic Digital Services
Specifically for Churches
With the coronavirus "stay-at-home" order, I realized that my church was ready to carry on digitally, but many churches were not. in fact, I've recently realized that most churches do not have much of an online presence at all. At the same time, the new job I was supposed to start was indefinitely postponed. One day, in prayer, I realized that I have much needed skills and gifts needed by churches to communicate in a digital age, and the time to serve them. So I created what is essentially a full service digital agency package, at 1/4 of an agency price.
​
What you're about to view has immensely more services at rates that are pennies on the dollar. Why? Because my heart is for Kingdom, not for wealth. I'd be insanely honored to use my skills to serve churches that see the need for them, but who may not have much budget for them.

REACH Your Audience​
GROW Your Audience
If your church did not have a digital strategy before the Covid 19 stay-at-home order, you may have suddenly realized a need for one. But, an effective digital presence is not just about streaming a Sunday sermon. Done well, a digital strategy can help you reach people of ALL ages, and almost every walk of life.
-
Millennials and GenZ are wired. The sooner we realize that, the better we can tap in with them.
-
Education, Meetings, and Group Experiences are all happening online.
-
The elderly are discovering how to connect with family and friends through their devices.
-
Shut-ins and hospitalized are no longer restricted to simply watching what's on TV.
YOUR CHURCH CAN BECOME PART OF PEOPLE'S INDIVIDUAL & GROUP EXPERIENCES a strategic digital footprint can provide a way for you to:
-
participate in the day-to-day spiritual growth of your congregants
-
reach new audiences of all ages
-
share the gospel with people who do not yet know Jesus!
​
But STRATEGY & CONSISTENCY ARE ESSENTIAL
Digital Tools For Churches?
SOCIAL MEDIA
Social Media can be a powerful means of connecting with your congregants, encouraging their walks with Christ, and even giving them tools to pray, grow, worship, and share their faith with others. It is also a means of sharing Christ's love with people beyond your congregation.
-
Posts can be pictures, pictorial (pictures with words graphically on them), text, or video.
-
Pastors can log in on their phones and post short video messages to stay in touch with congregations and followers.
-
Facebook Live can be used for a live Sunday morning experience
YouTube
Here. you can share your video of sermons, worship experiences, prayers, and words of encouragement from you or other Church Staff, and even testimonials of God's work in your congregants' lives. Subscribers are notified every time you post. Other people can find the content in many ways. It is a means by which you can minister to people who can't get to your church building, or your congregants can share the messages with people who might not otherwise come to your church, or any church at all. Content is stored here, so you can link to it from your website social media platforms, or emails.
DAILY DEVOTIONAL EMAIL
Though many people are engaging with social media, many are haphazard about it, or don't use it at all. But even the most elderly or people busy at work are reading email. Creating a subscription of people who receive your daily devotional or word of encouragement can be a powerful way to give people cause to pause and engage with Jesus. Many people who engage with such emails also forward it on to someone they think will be blessed by it as well.
ONLINE TITHING/DONATIONS TOOL
If you don't already have a way for people to tithe or donate online or through an app, now is the time to get one. There are a few options, but this does not have to be an overwhelming task.
YOUR WEBSITE
Even the smallest church will benefit from a website. People of all ages and walks of life depend on websites for information both about you organization and also to find things for their betterment. Your website can provide a platform to engage with your congregants and others who would have never known about you and your work.
MONTHLY E-NEWSLETTER
A monthly newsletter is a great way to sum up what's happening with your ministry. People get the important updates and a message from the Pastor whether or not they see it elsewhere. Live Links can be added that take people to your website, YouTube, Social Media, and Eventbrite when relevant. This can be easily redesigned for Print, and distributed to those who may not have internet.
ONLINE MEETINGS
Whether through zoom, google meetups or other platforms, online meetings are how we're connecting during the Covid Crisis, and will become a more regular way to meet when this is over.
If these tools are so powerful in our age, why are you not using them?
Probably because they require a large learning curve for those who don't know how to use them , and they are TIME CONSUMING even for those who DO know how to use them. Hiring an agency to do it for you is EXPENSIVE
THAT's WHY I'm HERE!
