Case Study: Sandals Church deepens digital discipleship with Pushpay

Sandals Church deepens discipleship across 3 online audience segments with Pushpay

Sandals Church, a church based in Riverside, California, faced the significant challenge of transitioning to a hybrid worship model during the COVID-19 pandemic. They needed to find a way to foster genuine discipleship and measure engagement effectively within their new digital environment, moving beyond simply counting online views. They partnered with Pushpay for its church management and engagement solutions.

With Pushpay, Sandals Church implemented a strategic solution focused on a "funnel" concept to categorize and measure online engagement, moving people from the crowd to the core. This was supported by creating tailored content types, from simulated live services to compact YouTube sermons, and launching the innovative "Sandals Church Anywhere" micro-gathering initiative. The results were a deeper understanding of digital discipleship and the fostering of a self-sustaining global community, including a new house church in South Carolina that performs baptisms and sends people on mission trips. Pushpay provided the tools that enabled this successful digital evolution.
