Listen to this 13-minute interview with Cody Tilley, Media and Young Adults Pastor, share where Cowboy of Church of Brenham was pre-Covid. He realizes that in the 21st century tech is as relevant as ever and wanted to find a way to help his church grow by becoming more efficient with tech.

Cody led the search for an easy to use “all-in-one-spot” platform (a website that mirrors a mobile app, group messaging, giving, livestream, church management) that would help them create a base foundation for church-wide communication.

He realized that a clean website is our “new church lobby” that represents the first impression people have. He believes that the website is for people that want to know about their church and the app is for people already within their church. He thought there was going to be a battle with some of the older generation, but they love it as well.

He shares how powerful having forms are for helping people take next steps such as submitting prayer requests or signing up for baptism. He talks about how important it is to have easy online giving that has helped them have more reoccurring givers.

During the interview we share the screen to show you visually what a game-changer group messaging has been with all their teams communication.

He talks about how important having their own livestream feed has been, not relying on social media, and shares the example of a recent weekend in which many church members were at a county fair. As they were standing in line awaiting animals they received a push notification that church was going live and they were able to watch the service through their mobile app while sitting in their vehicles.

Cody launched their website and app about five weeks ago and they’ve had over 600 app downloads, the app has been opened over 6,000 times and have had nearly 25,000 clicks!
