Live Scripture for Online Church Services: What Churches Need
Livestreaming has made it possible for a church service to reach people who are not in the building. But watching a service and following the Scripture being taught are not exactly the same experience.
Watching the service is only one part
A member can open YouTube, Facebook or another livestream and watch the pastor. When the pastor says a Bible reference, however, the member may still need to find the passage manually. That extra step can interrupt the flow of the sermon.
The Scripture should travel with the service
For churches with online members, the goal can be simple: when the pastor shares the Scripture, members should be able to see and read that same passage on their phones.
Why this matters for churches with members abroad
A congregation can extend far beyond the church building. Former members may relocate. Families may travel. Members may move to London, Toronto, Houston or another city while continuing to follow their home church online. The church can still teach the same Scripture to everyone.
What a good live-Scripture workflow looks like
The workflow should be simple enough for a Sunday service: the pastor calls out the passage, the church confirms the reference, and the congregation receives the Scripture. The livestream can continue doing what it already does: carrying the service to people wherever they are.
Where Holy Bible King fits
Holy Bible King is a mobile app that helps the pastor share his live Bible verse to the phones of the congregation at home and abroad. It focuses on Scripture, while your church can continue using its existing livestream and media tools.
