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

Yes, the Church needs help finding and welcoming younger generations and the de-churched. It needs to be more culturally relevant, and increasing decreasing generosity is key. But also nurturing the people you see regularly is equally important. Together, we help you do both… grow broader in your community and deeper in your congregation.

Serve more people. Lead a healthy church. Grow disciples.

From the start of someone seeking to the ever maturing person teaching others. Considering every operational need, education on best practices and personal help with every step along the way. We connect and strengthen you.

Your whole church. All your people. One person at a time.
