Case Study: Allentown Bible Church achieves streamlined ministry operations and enhanced community outreach with Aplos

Allentown Bible Church - Customer Case Study

Allentown Bible Church, led by Founder and Lead Pastor Rick Dobrowolski, is a small urban congregation that faces the challenges of limited physical resources and engaging a diverse, multi-age community. Without a dedicated office and with finite staff and volunteers, the church must prioritize realistic, sustainable ways to serve neighbors and keep worship and teaching relevant for everyone.

The church addresses these challenges by leaning into technology (Slack, Google Docs, Aplos, WordPress, MailChimp, and social media), partnering with other local churches for outreach, and using creative, interactive sermon techniques and a regular children’s program to engage all ages. Those approaches have enabled meaningful community impact—food banks, clothing closets, mentoring, homeless shelters, trafficking awareness, and neighborhood cleanups—while building a resilient, adaptable ministry that fosters spiritual growth and lasting relationships.
