2020 will be forever branded into our collective memory as the year that changed the course of human history. Seemingly out of nowhere, COVID-19 single-handedly launched our world 50 years into the future and made “virtual“ a leading role in our day-to-day lives. Like it or not, as a church leader, digital became your new default.

Over the past several weeks, many events, classes, and travel plans have been postponed or canceled. We should all be committed to stopping the spread of COVID-19. As church leaders, taking precautions is necessary. We talked to some pastors who’ve canceled services or moved to virtual gatherings. Thankfully, with the help of technology, we can still reach our congregations. 

Orange has always aimed to make technology easy for churches to use. The Orange curriculum was one of the first to offer digital downloads to ministry leaders. Products like Weekly and Orange Apps allow churches to leverage technology for digital communications.

Since the Orange Conference Live Experience will be so unique compared to our usual in-person conference, we thought we’d come up with a few suggestions on how to make the most of this (or really any) online conference.

The Church Technology Monster has been in your life because there hasn't been another way to produce quality Kids ministry programming without Olympic effort from our Kids Ministry leaders. Until now.

We’ve also seen a lot of headlines about how to weather this storm as a church leader. And more specifically about how many churches are dipping their toes into leading a remote church team.

Over the past few weeks, COVID-19 has spread to 50 states. Schools, businesses, churches, events, and other organizations are wrestling with how to respond to the growing threat of coronavirus. And local churches are no exception.

You’ve probably heard all about this Covid-19 thing that’s happening around the world. That’s why the entire Orange team has been hard at work preparing lots of content and resources to help you and your church get through this time.
