How a Megachurch became a “Church in Your Pocket”

by Chris Foreman

This is a story of a large and thriving church caught in a rapidly-growing, world-wide crisis that no one predicted and no one was truly prepared to meet. Like most churches, Berean has shut its doors temporarily and “the church”, as a congregation of people, is unable to worship in Berean’s auditorium. Yet, this seemingly dark story is actually a story of hope because Berean hasn’t just adapted to the crisis. They’ve put their talented team to work, using modern technology in creative ways to bring “a church dispersed,” as Senior Pastor Bryan Clark described it, back together for streaming worship that feels live while becoming the very personal experience that worship was meant to be. Berean has become a “church in your pocket.”

A leading provider of technology and payment solutions to more than 25,000 faith-based organizations across the U.S., Vanco has experienced rapid growth this year as more faith-based organizations seek online giving solutions. Following discussions with both loyal customers of 20 years and new ones of 20 days, the Vanco team quickly developed a new app, Vanco Mobile, to serve as a virtual hub to connect members and leaders of faith-based organizations even more deeply in a hybrid faith world.

Through Vanco Mobile, members can connect, donate, plan and share in new ways that foster community, while faith leaders can be assured that their ministry continues, albeit in new forms.
