Many Christians are tech-savvy and the course of researching for the best technology often reveals just how beneficial it can be for organizations.  This also means churches should focus more on mobile than desktop.  But, when you propose the idea to your pastor, they may not take it seriously and dismiss it without considering the impact.  The following tactics might help you convince them.

 

Based on statistics from Statistica, there are over 2.5 billion mobile device users in the world today.  Additionally, most of the research indicates that the use of mobile devices is growing faster than that of desktop computers.  Also, people are spending more time on their smartphones than on desktop computers.

These statistics prove there is a large number of potential church members and believers out there that the ministry can reach.  By developing a mobile app and implementing a mobile-friendly design like other ministry websites, the church is bound to gain new members while spreading the gospel more effectively.

 

Some church leaders are hesitant to make the switch to mobile because they aren’t convinced there will be any substantial benefits.  If you encounter this, try explaining to them how making your ministry website mobile friendly helps the church achieve goals at a faster pace.  For instance, ministry websites that have content properly displayed on desktop and mobile alike will create deeper engagement.

On mobile, users can conveniently view blog posts at any moment and leave comments on the go.  Ministry websites that are customized with links and call-to-action buttons help people access recorded sermons and especially make it easy for them to donate to the ministry.

In some cases, the fear of the unknown is preventing the pastor from implementing a switch to mobile.  If that happens, arrange a meeting with a web design expert to talk with the pastor about all the advantages of making the move to mobile.
