Let's face it: Building community is a major problem for most congregations.  In fact, a Comscore study commissioned by us covering 14 denominations showed that growing their community is the #1 need of congregations:

Building Community 70%
Youth Faith Education 67%
Supporting a family-centered environment 64%
Youth Involvement in church 58%
Membership and Recruiting 56%
Adult Faith Education 53%

Every congregation is unique and there is no “one size fits all” but most faith leaders agree that building community results in healthier congregations.

What benefits could greater community provide to your congregation?

Increased attendance
Stronger community service programs
Increased Tithing
Additional volunteers to shoulder the work

The Future is Youth Ministry – You Must Be Online
The real key to boosting participation is reaching your congregation’s youth. It’s the future, and it’s not all about technology even though that’s your tool to engage them. The youth of today are the congregational leaders of tomorrow. It is important that congregations are aware of how youth live in today’s society.

87% of youth ages 12-17 are online
Prefer Instant Messaging (IM) and text messaging to email
Email is a tool to communicate with adults or leaders
55% have social networking profiles online
57% are “content creators” (blog, Web page, original artwork, photos, videos, stories or remixed content)

These numbers will only increase! We are dedicated to transform your online presence into an online solution – relevant and resourceful while generating a real community fully participating in your ministry.
