Technology can and should be one of the greatest tools used for connection in this generation. It already has been in almost every industry. Businesses have been leveraging the latest technologies for decades. Churches, however, have been slower to embrace these advances, and we are on a mission to change that!
At Text In Church, we equip church leaders with the best technology so they can engage with their members and guests. Our platform allows church leaders to use automation with emails and text messages to follow-up. So, the messages you send can be highly personalized and intentional without any error of forgetting or a person falling through the cracks. However, the more we’ve worked with church leaders, the greater awareness we gained of the need for church leaders to better understand technology in general.
Technology, given at face value, can sometimes cause more confusion and work for the user. So, we created a FREE, all online conference called ENGAGE where church leaders can access tech training from top thought leaders and church leaders on how to use technology effectively at the local church. The sessions are tactical and practical; only proven strategies and effective tools to help churches reach more people are shared at ENGAGE sessions.
A big part of our heart in creating ENGAGE was eliminating barriers for church leaders to access quality training. Gone are the days of being able to take off a week of work, travel all over the country, pay for hotels and food, and attend back to back days of live training. Most church leaders simply can’t afford it. So, ENGAGE allows attendees to watch on their own time, from wherever they can get a wifi connection.
The vast majority of church leaders we have the privilege of working with are juggling lots of responsibilities and don’t have the ability to delegate much to other staff. They, hopefully, have a core group of volunteers to rely on, but otherwise are trying to balance it all and shepherd their congregation the best they can. Giving these church leaders access to tech tools that can serve as a staff person for them, literally taking tasks off their plates and giving them time back, is such a game-changer, and has become a huge part of our mission.
Here are some of the most commonly asked questions about ENGAGE and some of the things we think make it so fantastic!
