The connected + stronger church solution

As a church leader, you know the greatest challenges of the Church are its people being:

Disconnected

Culture is clashing with the church. The church seems culturally irrelevant. 75% think religion is losing its influence on American life.

Disinterested

Younger generations aren’t entering faith communities. 2 out of 3 young people raised as Christian will walk away.

Disengaged

Traditional attendees are de-churched. Church attendance is down 33%; 40 million Americans have stopped going to church.

Decreased

Generosity and giving are down. Only 10-25% of an average congregation tithes regularly.

The answer, of course, is a life changing personal relationship with Christ. And to do that…

The more you connect people with what they need the stronger your church will be.

Gloo connects. ACST Strengthens

Generosity and its overall decline, its need for communication, and its important stewardship role are one of the acute issues facing the church today.

To help your church in this area, here are some key resources:

For over 45 years, ACS Technologies has been helping churches overcome the obstacles they face as they strive to Build the Kingdom, from staff administration to broader community engagement.
