“We want to be a relevant, relational church in our communities,” said Bishop Claion Grandison, National Overseer at NTCG UK. “So, it’s about making intentional connections, meaningful connections with the communities that we’re situated in.”

“We believe that digital ministry is no longer an option but a necessity in hybrid churches,” said Bishop Dr Joe Aldred, Director at NCLF. “ChurchGOers was commissioned to empower our church leaders to embrace technology and grow their congregations and communities.”

“ChurchGOers is by far the largest undertaking in the church since the pandemic and the widespread adoption of web meetings and live-streaming,” said Paul Johnson, Founder of ChurchGOers. “Our platform is designed to empower church leaders to embrace technology, create more meaningful digital connections and build thriving communities.”
