Tech Tips: Enhance Engagement Through QR Codes

In today's tech-savvy world, why should churches stick to — and stick their information on — old-school bulletin boards when they can embrace the magic of QR codes? Imagine your congregation seamlessly accessing sermon notes, donation links, event calendars, and more, all with their phones! 

These little square grids are like digital treasure maps that lead your flock straight to what you want them to have while making life easier for everyone. No more hunting for that one elusive webpage or fumbling with paper flyers!

So how can you produce a QR code to make the magic happen? The internet has tons of options, and many are free! A search for “free QR code generator” will call up page after page of options. Many, including QR Code Generator, QRStuff, and GoQR.me let you customize your codes in a jiffy. Add a splash of your church’s colors or a logo, and voilà! You've got a stylish and functional code that fits your church to a T. Some Church Management Software (ChMS) — such as Planning Center — can generate QR codes, though the customization options may be more limited..

By incorporating QR codes, churches not only enhance engagement but also create an eco-friendly alternative to printed materials. Whether it’s for updating your community on upcoming events or sharing last Sunday’s sermon, QR codes are a great way to get your church’s information onto your people’s screens.
