Even More Free Resources at Life.Church Open Network
Life.Church has freely posted Bible-related resources for years, like going on ten years, for pastors and church leaders to have access to use high-quality teaching and training resources without having to allocate a big portion of the church budget. Actually, churches don’t have to use any budget at all because those resources are totally free, courtesy of the irrational generosity of Life.Church!
Since 2006, Life.Church committed to equip other churches with a library of digital ministry resources like sermon videos, transcripts, kids and youth curricula, original worship music, campus architectural plans, HR forms, and more. If it’s downloadable, Life.Church was giving it away for free!
Fast forward to 2016, and Life.Church is freely sharing even more resources. Now there’s unlimited free access to 35,000+ sermons, transcripts, kids lessons, worship songs, art and graphics, and the entire two-year Bible App for Kids Curriculum package, and more. This resourceful website is now known as Life.Church Open Network and they're working with a number of select partners to share their free content too!
A website with this much content can be quite the challenge to organize and Life.Church Open Network is beautifully presented in 4 sections: resources, training, apps, and community.
Resources are all kinds of Bible-related teachings in all kinds of formats, ready for use with click-to-play or to be used as a part of your own preparation. Training has all kinds of lessons learned by Life.Church over the years, so your church can get the behind-the-scenes notes for running the organizational side of church life, both the management of resources and training up leaders, staff and volunteers. Both resources and training are neatly categorized in a visually-engaging way.
Apps is where Life.Church Open Network neatly presents its suite of apps for churches: Church Metrics, Church Online Platform, Develop.Me, and YouVersion Events.
Life.Church Open Network's Community is the most exciting brand new online discussion board where church leaders and pastors can have conversations with one another.
And, one more thing. Life.Church is a valuable partner of the .BIBLE top-level domain as an Advisory Council member, leading by example with its use of Free.Bible as the fastest and easiest way to share the YouVersion Bible app.
