Many churches have already solved the first online problem: getting the service onto the internet. The next question is what the online congregation can do while watching.
Livestreaming solved access
A livestream gives members a way to see and hear the service from outside the church building.
But access is not the same as participation
An online viewer can watch the pastor call out a passage and still have to search for it manually. Small moments like this add friction to the service.
Add Scripture to the online experience
Sharing the current Bible passage gives online members something concrete to follow. It creates a direct connection between what the pastor is teaching and what the member is reading.
Build around what churches already use
Churches do not need to abandon their livestream, projector or media workflow. A Scripture layer can complement the tools already used on Sunday.
The bigger idea
The physical church building may be local. The congregation can be worldwide. Church technology should serve both.
