Simplifying Communication

It seems to me that many of the issues we face on a daily basis…

  • issues at home, at the church, or at the office;
  • issues between our family, friends and coworkers;
  • issues with projects, deadlines and deliverables;
  • issues with authority, responsibilities and commitments;
  • issues related to misunderstandings, misinterpretations and mistakes;

… can often be traced back to poor, ineffective and untimely communication between one or more parties.

The capital “C” Church has struggled to master the art of communication – from within its four walls, from the Church to its congregation, from the congregation to the Church and from members to members. Technology in and of itself cannot fix these issues but it can provide a set of tools to enable, streamline, and promote good, effective and timely communication.

This is why I was so excited to learn more about a new tool being developed called SoChurch. It aims to simplify church communication by providing tools that will foster community without getting in the way.

I was honored when the SoChurch team asked to join the advisory board for this new venture that is backed by an amazing team of leaders, innovators and technologists that have an awesome heart for the Lord and the local Church. I believe that SoChurch may be the tool that can finally help bridge the communication gap that exists in many churches today.

To keep in the loop about SoChurch, be sure to follow them on Twitter or join the Facebook group.

SoChurch will also help facilitate member involvement in and around the church. The SoChurch team shared with me a screenshot of the application where individuals can help meet the needs of their brothers and sisters in Christ.
