Effective communication is essential to keeping ministries running smoothly and members engaged. With Channels in the TouchPoint Church Mobile App, your church can establish consistent, focused communication without relying on social media platforms or general-purpose tools.
Channels are customizable spaces within the app where church leaders can post content, updates, and reminders tailored to specific ministries or events. Whether it’s Kids Ministry, College Ministry, or Vacation Bible School, each area can have its own dedicated space—making it easier for churchgoers to stay connected with what matters to them.
Churches commonly set up one channel per ministry or group. These can be public—visible to all app users—or private, designed for select audiences like leadership teams or small groups.
To keep communication consistent, we recommend assigning a channel manager to each group. A simple rhythm like one post per week per channel ensures your app stays active and relevant without overburdening your team.
This feature is unique to TouchPoint. Unlike many church mobile apps that simply mirror a website, TouchPoint Channels offer a more personalized, interactive experience for the end user, allowing churches to meet members where they are and communicate in a more engaging, meaningful way.
Key Practices:
- Set Up One Channel Per Ministry Or Event
- Assign A Channel Manager To Post Weekly
- Use Private Channels For Leadership Or Sensitive Content
- Leverage The App As A Direct, In-Pocket Communication Tool
By using Channels effectively, your church can streamline communication, reduce reliance on social platforms, and foster stronger engagement across ministries.
