The Sharefaith church mobile app is loved by thousands and rightfully so. It\u2019s not a mobile version of your websites, it\u2019s an actual mobile app that your church congregation can download for free from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Here are 10 essentials that the Sharefaith Church App has, and we believe every church mobile app should have.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If you are already paying for a church website<\/a>, media<\/a> and Sunday School curriculum<\/a>, paying a hefty price for a church mobile app may not be possible. You want to pick something professional, but surely the cost has to be relational to the return-on-investment you get from the app. Don\u2019t just get a Church App to be cool. It\u2019s a mighty tool with great potential, but should ultimately fit your budget!<\/p>\n Editing should be easy, fast and done in one place. You will want to pick a solution that combines your church website<\/a> and mobile app editing into one easy solution so you have to only edit once. Update once, publish everywhere!<\/p>\n Folks are on the go. To give them your latest sermon in the form of notes, audio or video, right on their phone or tablet is a huge plus! Your church basically goes wherever they go. You also don\u2019t want to double the work, so make sure your church website builder<\/a> and mobile app integrate. You publish once, and your media is available on both your website and mobile church app.<\/p>\n A great way to connect with your congregation is to share your ministry insights through your blog. Turning it into a daily or weekly devotional is even better. Imagine the cohesiveness and unity when the entire church follows the same devotional. One heart. One mind. Again, the perfect solution would be to blog once, and have your information be visible on your ministry websites<\/a>, social media and mobile app.<\/p>\n Instead of having your congregation switch between multiple windows on their mobile device, bring your social media into one spot. Having your Facebook feed, Twitter feed, Instagram etc, connected in one spot makes sharing events, updates and news so much easier!<\/p>\n Your church mobile app should be unique and give you the ability to customize by picking color themes, graphics and more.<\/p>\n You may still like to print a bulletin and hand it out. Your church mobile app should give you the ability to add your weekly bulletin or monthly newsletter.<\/p>\n Most current mobile church app providers will charge you a monthly hosting fee, in addition to Apple\u2019s $100\/y App Store fee. This adds up. A great provider will combine these fees, and offer a complete package that fits your budget.<\/p>\n Paying one membership fee and getting your Sunday School curriculum, worship software<\/a>, graphics, church website, hosting and mobile church app included is fantastic! This way it\u2019s all integrated, unified and you update and publish from one platform.<\/p>\n Submitting your mobile app, when finished, to the Apple App Store can be frustrating. Doing so on Google Play is a little easier. Your church mobile app provider should include this in your service so you don\u2019t have to worry about it.<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n
