One of the biggest questions pastors ask is:

‍

👉 “What would we actually DO with a platform like this?”

That’s a great question.

Because tools don’t change churches…
how you use them does.

So instead of theory, here are 10 real, practical ways churches are using SocialGlow right now to build stronger, more engaged communities.

‍

1. 7-Day Prayer Challenges

Churches are creating simple, focused prayer challenges.

Each day includes:

• A short prompt
• A scripture
• A place to comment or check in

👉 Result:
Members stay consistent.
Engagement goes up daily.

👉 With SocialGlow:
Track participation and award points for each day completed.

‍

2. “30 Days in the Word” Bible Reading Plans

Instead of hoping people read their Bible…
churches are guiding them step-by-step.

👉 Daily structure:

• Reading plan
• Reflection question
• Discussion thread

👉 Result:
More people finish what they start.

👉 With SocialGlow:
Turn this into a course with progress tracking, so members can see how far they’ve come.

‍

3. Small Group Hubs (That Stay Active All Week)

Instead of meeting once and disappearing…
groups stay connected every day.

👉 Members can:

• Share prayer requests
• Ask questions
• Encourage each other

👉 Result:
Stronger relationships.
Higher attendance.

👉 With SocialGlow:
Each group has its own private space with posts, comments, and content.

‍

4. New Member Onboarding Paths

Churches are creating simple onboarding journeys for new people.

👉 Example flow:

• Welcome message
• “About our church” video
• Next steps (join a group, attend event)

👉 Result:
New members feel guided—not lost.

👉 With SocialGlow:
Build this as a course or group so every new person gets the same experience.

‍

5. Volunteer Training (Without Extra Meetings)

Instead of scheduling more meetings…
training happens inside the app.

👉 Volunteers can:

• Watch training videos
• Complete steps at their own pace
• Revisit content anytime

👉 Result:
Less burnout.
Better prepared teams.

👉 With SocialGlow:
Host videos and track completion so leaders know who’s ready.

‍

6. Weekly Devotionals That Actually Get Read

Instead of long emails that get ignored…
churches are posting short, simple devotionals.

👉 Format:

• 2–3 minute read
• One key takeaway
• One question

👉 Result:
More people engage consistently.

👉 With SocialGlow:
Schedule devotionals in advance so they go out automatically.

‍

7. Accountability Groups

Some churches are using SocialGlow for deeper discipleship.

👉 Examples:

• Men’s accountability groups
• Fitness + faith groups
• Prayer partners

👉 Members check in regularly and support each other.

👉 Result:
Real life change—not just attendance.

👉 With SocialGlow:
Use tracking forms for check-ins and progress updates.

‍

8. Event Build-Up Campaigns

Instead of just announcing an event once…
churches build excitement over time.

👉 Before the event:

• Teaser posts
• Countdown
• Behind-the-scenes content

👉 Result:
Higher turnout.
More anticipation.

👉 With SocialGlow:
Schedule content leading up to the event so it stays top of mind.

‍

9. Friendly Competitions (Gamification)

Churches are making engagement fun.

👉 Examples:

• Who completes the most devotionals
• Who participates daily
• Group vs group challenges

👉 Result:
People WANT to come back.

👉 With SocialGlow:
Use points, levels, and leaderboards to drive engagement.

‍

10. Sermon Follow-Up Discussions

Instead of the message ending on Sunday…
it continues during the week.

👉 Churches post:

• Key takeaways
• Discussion questions
• Application steps

👉 Result:
Deeper understanding.
More real-life application.

👉 With SocialGlow:
Keep the conversation going inside your community groups.

‍
