The news in your church app

A church app is used in many congregations. Congregants who have the app on their smartphones have up-to-date information from the church at their fingertips anywhere, anytime: agenda, news and announcements, church bulletin, collection, membership list and you name it.

Users of Scipio, DonkeyMobile, churchSPOT and chrch can now also receive the latest news and blogs from the CGK website in the app. This makes staying informed even easier. Ask the app administrator in your congregation about this.

Are you using a different church app and would you like to receive the news as well? Please contact communicatie@cgk.nl
