How Mobile Apps Are Helping Churches GrowBizness Apps
Technology in church is nothing new. It was there when the overhead projector gave everyone the hymn words, and is now there in smart tech and sound equipment. It makes sense that mobile apps, the technology of today, are brought on board by churches too. Given that weekend worship attendance is dropping year on year, something definitely has to change if churches are to survive the seismic change of culture since the dawn of the mobile age.

Good to Great for Non-Profits: A Unified ModelSteven Koster
Based on "Good to Great" and "Good to Great for Non-Profits" by Jim Collins, this model integrates the separate elements from the books into a single model, particularly for NPOs.
The books have great research and ideas, but are scattered. The ideas have some flow, but are not tied together. This model attempts to tie all the G2G concepts together, with Non-Profit Organizations in mind.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

13. The Threads
• Rooted in institutional denomination
– Not really para-church
– We represent CRCNA congregations
– We share in the institutional church’s task
• Rock Star Incarnational ministry?
• What is ReFrame Media all about?
14. The Threads: #1
• It’s about God, who he is and what he
does
– We want to fill your life—mind, body, and
spirit—with God’s story. But it’s not about us,
our listeners, or our donors. It’s not even
about you. It’s about God.
– God reveals, revives, restores, reforms, and
reshapes your life to be more and more in line
with the script he has for this world.
– It’s all about the God of second chances, in
Christ, by the Spirit.
15. The Threads: #2
• It’s about God’s whole story.
– Creation: we are made in God’s image.
– Fall: sin twists us and our world.
– Redemption: life re-opened through Jesus.
– Restoration: God renews all things, even
now.
• It’s more than
‘get saved, wait for heaven’
• A Reformed Worldview that ReFrames
16. The Threads: #3
• It’s about Your Whole Life being
transformed.
– When God’s story gets poured into your life,
your whole life changes.
– God made you to glorify him in everything you
do, so everything about you is renewed--
your marriage, your kids, your work, your
play, your friends, your projects, all of it--so
that you might flourish, the way you were
meant to.
– God makes your whole life whole again.
18. The Threads: #4
– We invite you right where you are,
physically and spiritually. Old or young,
near or far, Lost or Mature. We want to
help you discover more of God
– We maximize the media tools--Internet,
video, radio, print, and other technologies-
-to invite you to engage us, each other,
and especially God.
19. The Threads: #5
• It’s about relationship & community
– We want not only to provide you
opportunities to encounter God, but to
engage you in a conversation. We are
the Body of Christ.
– We offer you a glimpse of the Kingdom of
God in God’s whole story, but we also
invite you to tell your own stories to us
and others.
20. The Threads braided as a
vision for a changed world:
Seeing God’s Story
in Your Life
21. How do we show God’s story?
GOAL: LIFELONG DISCIPING
RELATIONSHIP
22. Relationships
• Ministry experiences: God & You
• Two-way conversation
• Multi-touch & Mass media
• Progressive: growing over time
– Managing relationship funnel is ministry
• Excludes focus on technology
• Excludes focus on aesthetic “excellence”
• Excludes mere confrontation
• Excludes this being about us or someone
else
23. Discipling

– Includes Evangelism & Discipleship
– Demands, at some level, scandal of the
cross
• Excludes mere Inspiration
• Excludes mere public service

Institutional Church
• Specifically Christ-Body Orienting
24. Lifelong
• Our scope has decades of you in view
– We hope to walk with you over years

programs

placeholder, but central to mission

programs
• Calls for on-going programs
– Excludes one-offs, or a publishing model
25. We are in the
Lifelong Discipling

62. Training
• Free resources online
• Case studies & white papers
• In-person workshops
Blogging
• Discussion on latest trends & best practices
• Conversation starters for Facebook & Twitter
Consulting
• 1-on-1 help with communications strategies
69. Measuring “Relationship” IOI
• For NPO, revenue is not an output
– ROI is not a valid measure of ministry
• Mission Success or Impact is output
• The bottom of our funnel is
REACTIONS
– Not ROI (dollars returned for investment)
– But IOI (Impact returned for investment)
– So key metric is REACTIONS per COST
70. Measuring “Discipling”
• Would like to measure Spiritual Growth
– Head, Heart, and Hands Discipleship
– How measure discipleship?
• Best answer for now is ANECDOTAL
– Are we hearing stories of Christ-orientation?
71. Measuring “Lifelong”
• Looks to longevity and
cross-program interest
• Long-term fans
• Multi-Program fans
• But this would require better tracking of
individual fans
80. Laura’s Orientation
• Does devotionals alone (in the morning) or
with family (at the table)
• Facing challenges and family issues
• Is past a lot of the firsts in her life (job, kids,
house, etc.)
• Working out career and family balance
• Very, very busy

aging parents, etc.)
81. Laura’s Objectives for Today

• Needs something quick and easy (10-15
minutes)

82. Laura says about herself:
• I’m so busy managing my family and work that I need a
quick devotional I can use every day.
• My kids are facing issues and I need help and guidance.
• My kids are growing up and I need to do a better job
instilling Christian values in their lives.

• I just need some time to hear God.
• I want something that will help me start my day.
• I have no greater joy than having my children walk in the
truth.
• I’m looking for connection with other women and a
community.
86. Two Cents of Advice
• Own your education
– What do you need for what’s next?
– Never stop learning
• Know yourself well
– StrengthsFinder, Myers-Briggs, DISC, etc.
• Ministry is out of who you are and how
you are experienced
– EQ is more important than IQ
