Take Your Sermon Past the Parking Lot
Take Your Sermon Past the Parking Lot
Updated over a week ago

As a church leader, you dedicate countless hours to preparing, researching, writing, and practicing your sermons. Yet, it can often feel like your message doesn’t make it past the parking lot with a majority of your congregation. What if there was a way to extend the reach and influence of your sermons beyond Sunday morning, without adding to your workload? At Gloo, we’re here to help you harness the power of technology, particularly AI and texting, to help your message go further and keep your congregation engaged and inspired throughout the week.

The Power of Texting

Texting is the most effective and preferred method of communication today. With Gloo's free texting platform, you can effortlessly reach your congregation where they are most attentive—on their phones. When you combine church texting with the exclusive tools in Gloo+, like Church.Tech, you’ll be unstoppable!

Here’s how you can use texting to extend the life of your sermons:

Sermon Summaries and Transcripts: Using Church.Tech, you can upload a video of your latest sermon, and the AI will automatically generate a transcript and summary for you. This allows you to share the essence of your message in a few short bullet points with your congregation. Those who missed the service can catch up, and those who attended can reflect on your words. A simple text with the sermon summary or a link to the transcript can be a powerful reminder of the sermon’s key points.

Social Media Integration: Social media is a powerful tool for extending your message’s reach. Church.Tech can create short clips of the most impactful moments from your sermon. These clips can be shared via text or posted on your church’s social media accounts. The bite-sized nature of these clips makes them easy to consume and share, helping to spread your message beyond the church walls and into the broader community.

Devotionals: Keep your congregation engaged with the themes of your sermon throughout the week by creating devotionals. Church.Tech allows you to upload your sermon and generate prompts, messages, scripture, and other devotional materials. Distribute these through text, encouraging your members to dive deeper into the message. Daily engagement with these devotionals will help reinforce your sermon’s teachings and keep your congregation spiritually nourished.

By using these tools, you can ensure that your sermons have a lasting impact, engaging your congregation daily and keeping them connected to your church community.

Making Technology Accessible

For church leaders who may be new to AI or unsure about its benefits, our tools are designed to be user-friendly and accessible. The AI capabilities of Church.Tech do the heavy lifting, generating content from your sermons with minimal effort on your part. This means you can focus on what you do best—ministering to your congregation—while technology handles the rest.
