The Church of God has a partnership with Custom Church Apps, a company that makes it easy and affordable for local churches to get a church app for their membership.
Recent data as reported this past July by Mary Meeker of KPCB shows that mobile digital media time in the U.S. is now significantly higher at 51% compared to desktop at 42%.
A recent report on a survey put out by Nielsen on the use of apps versus the mobile web browser stated that 89% of all smartphone users spent their time on media using mobile apps. This means just 11% of their time was spent on media through the mobile web browser. This would also include viewing media on the their smartphones in places like mobile optimized websites.
“This means the tipping point has arrived,” stated David Ray, director of Church of God Communications. “With this comes the question of experience and that which we are providing for our church. Are we meeting our church members and community right where they’re at? Or rather, are we meeting them, simply put.. in the palm of their hand?”
“Custom Church Apps has the worlds most advanced church app platform,” Ray continued. “They are willing to build an app for free and let pastors and church leaders try it at no cost for 30 days.”
Custom Church Apps offers three reasons why local churches should strongly consider an app. They are: 1) Enhance Your Community. This gives local churches the tools to engage and share in their ministry’s vision; 2) Empower Their Brand. Say goodbye to templates and design the app your brand deserves; Build Your Custom App. With help from the friendly and knowledgeable staff, no coding knowledge is required.
