What main topic categories does ChurchTechToday cover for churches?

Updated

ChurchTechToday organizes its coverage around four main areas: worship and online ministry, digital ministry and communication, management and operations, and resources and news. If you're looking for a specific kind of help — streaming a service, picking church management software, or building a website — you can go straight to the matching category instead of browsing everything.

Worship and online ministry

This category covers the technology behind running and broadcasting services.

  • Worship Services — tools and practices for in-person and hybrid services
  • Church Online and Online Sundays — running a consistent online service experience
  • Live Streaming — streaming setup and workflows
  • Audiovisual — sound, video, and presentation equipment
  • Worship and Christmas — seasonal and service-specific topics

If your question is "how do we stream our Sunday service reliably?" or "what AV gear should we consider?", start here.

Digital ministry and communication

This category is about reaching people outside the building and keeping them connected.

  • Communication — general church messaging strategy
  • Email & Text — mass messaging tools and practices
  • Media Graphics — visuals for services and social channels
  • Video — producing and repurposing video content
  • Social Media — platform-specific strategy and content
  • AI for Churches — applying AI tools in ministry contexts

A representative example from the site: "How To Create Social Media Reels From Full Length Sermon Videos," which sits at the intersection of Video and Social Media.

Management and operations

This category covers the systems that run behind the scenes.

  • Management (ChMS) — church management software
  • Online Giving — donation platforms and giving software
  • Websites — church site design and conversion
  • KidMin — children's ministry technology

One practical note from the site's own content: traffic to a church website doesn't automatically create connections. The site's guidance is to offer a small next step — such as a free resource in exchange for an email address — and follow up automatically. That's a useful lens when reading the Websites and Communication categories together.

The site also labels some content as Sponsored or Partner Content, so when you're comparing products, check whether a given review or roundup is editorial or sponsored before treating it as an independent recommendation.
