Churches are changing to keep up with the times.

And we’re not just talking about updating a website or getting a new logo. We mean that churches are evolving to be more inclusive, accessible, and technologically advanced to meet their communities’ needs.

In the past, churches were places where people gathered to hear sermons and sing songs. They’re still that, but they’re also so much more.

Today’s churches can be virtual communities that allow people to interact with one another from anywhere in the world. What’s more, they’re a place of comfort and support for those who need it most—whether they’re looking for someone to talk to or someone to put them in touch with their community.

In short, churches today have become multi-faceted hubs for community-building and learning, which is why technology has been playing a greater role in their day-to-day operations than ever before

The changes have been gradual but steady, with one new technology leading to another until many churches have achieved an entirely digital presence—and it’s not just about being online anymore! Churches use apps to keep track of attendance numbers, manage membership records, communicate with members via text messages and emails, and raise funds through online donations…The list goes on!

With that, we’re excited to bring you this new podcast series that will help you better understand how to utilize these technologies in your church!

In this introductory episode, Tithe.ly‘s very own Dean Sweetman, CEO, and Frank Barry, COO, discuss how this new Church Technology podcast may help church leaders and staff stay informed about the latest technologies, trends, and best practices for keeping their church connected in today’s digital age.

“A lot of admin goes into the life of church volunteers and church leadership. We can make that easier and scale that to be so much faster by using the tech so they can actually do ministry.”
-Dean Sweetman
