Growth Trends in Church Technology

Even as churches faced unique challenges in confronting and recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, countless opportunities have arisen to embrace and adapt to technology that can keep congregations connected, no matter what.

 

How have churches adapted? Are they missing out on valuable technology to support the recovery phase of the pandemic? What’s most important?

We had over 1,200 churches weigh in and put together a helpful eBook with insight as to how they're finding ways to be more effective, near and far.
