Poll Everywhere in Churches
Props to Greg Phillips who let me know about a cool webtool called Poll Everywhere. This is a tool that let’s you do live polling via your cell phone by sending a text message. It’s kind of like how people on America’s Funniest Home Videos are asked to vote on their favorite video by pressing the buttons by their chairs. This is the same concept, but with a cell phone.
It seems that this is being used by churches in some innovative ways as well. Wayne Cordeiro, pastor of New Hope Church, used it to poll his church live on how often they spend time with God. You can view the video here. Here’s also a great CNN article about how Poll Everywhere is used to encourage people to text questions about the current message that the pastor is preaching. The pastor can then address the questions as he goes along, if he so chooses. Here is the blog to Poll Everywhere where some other uses are noted.
There are some price constraints, but if used in groups of 30 or less, it’s free. I can imagine using this in a series as well. I also think it would be good to use in a membership class, for people to anonymously give feedback.
What about you? What are some innovative ways that you can imagine using this in church or in your ministry?
