As a Resonate partner working in missions in Ethiopia, I'm in regular communication with our supporting CRC congregations and would love advice on how this can happen more effectively.
Has your church undergone a name change? How did you go about it?
Do you have any suggestions for marking a church anniversary?
My bridge App stopped linking to the Today devotional. Other functions are okay. I uninstalled and reinstalled it with no change. Can you help?
I've been asked to help with making a new pictorial directory for our church. What would you recommend?
Does your church have a social media policy that you're willing to share?
Our church is looking to shift from an invitation-only Zoom service to an open livestream. How can we be mindful of privacy concerns?
Does anyone know of any websites where I might find good Christian graphics or images?
Our church would like to integrate WordPress and live streaming. Has anyone had success?
Need help sorting out a decision to keep our Facebook page open (public) as opposed to going private. What are the benefits of private?
Do you have any suggestions for creative, effective, and appropriate ways to thank COVID-19 first responders?
Our church is considering a move from free services of Zoom or Skype based on a persons preference to paid host licenses. Has anyone worked through this?
Has the leadership of the CRCNA given any consideration to providing the churches guidance in the wake of the spread of the Coronavirus?
Have any of you produced your own directories and if so, how did it go?
Does your church have a logo? If so, did someone in the church design it or did you outsource?
Does your church currently stream your entire services online or post them in a video form? If so, what platform do you use? Have you run into any issues?
I'm both a web developer and leading our cadets through the Computer Knowledge badge. As such, I'm wondering what sorts of tools are out there that would let kids get a website published easily and for free.
Does your church use an online church directory service/app? Please share!
Does anyone have a sample 'Terms of Use' page for guest WiFi at their church that they'd be willing to share?
I hear talk of the CRCNA developing a smartphone app for Sunday offering giving. Does this have validity?
We're wondering if any other CR churches have experimented with the "New City Catechism" app?
Our church may be looking to switch our web host in the near future (we currently use iPower). What do you all use for your church's web host?
Is it possible for Faith Alive to make ebook/kindle versions of previously published material? Good resources quickly go out of print and it seems a shame to not be able to access them in any way.
I would like to be able to give people the opportunity to watch the sermon on Sunday even though they are not able to attend in person. I'm asking for help to find out what kind of technology do we need...
