It’s no secret that we now live in a mobile-first world. In 2015 mobile browsing of the web surpassed desktop. As of 2017, 77 percent of Americans own a smartphone, and the use of mobile apps is growing exponentially. The shift to mobile is extensive; it changes how we shop, how we communicate, and yes–even how we worship. Watch this webinar with Sean Buchanan of aware3 (Converge’s preferred mobile app provider) and learn about current trends in mobile and what your church can do to use mobile to connect and reach more people.

How to create a great church website
Webinar
Do you have a website that encourages people to visit your church? Or does it inadvertently turn them away? Recent studies estimate between 75 and 90 percent of potential visitors to your church visit your website before they make a decision to attend, and people will visit more than a dozen church websites before visiting a church’s physical location. Your website is the front door to your church, and is one of the most important tools you have to reach your community. In this webinar you’ll learn the strategies, processes and tools to help you create a website that effectively reaches your community and communicates to your church.
