What’s revolutionary about Church Now is that pastors and other church leaders really have the best of both worlds: a reliable, secure, easy-to-use service to send group announcement to specific ministries or the entire church… AND …additional mobile tools that research shows is important to people of faith.

Congregants can copy these events onto other mobile calendars (Outlook, iCal, etc.), share these events through social media and texting, and even RSVP right through the app.
