WiFi in the Church

Posted on April 16, 2011 by Servant | News| Tags: , , | Comments feed

Many Churches use a Wireless LAN for their staff. This allows the staff to roam with their laptops. If the physical plant is large, then this may require multiple transmitters and/or repeaters. The staff sign in via their laptop and have full access to the Internet, Network Printers, online files, etc. In many ways, this is a typical arrangement for IT installations.

What about Sunday mornings? Should the WiFi be enabled at all? There is at least one Church who is inviting their worshipers to use WiFi networking during the service. They provide worship enhancements that people can access on their laptops and/or cell phones. The idea is to add to the worship experience, not take away from it. What do you think?

One example of a Church that uses WiFi during worship is Grainger Community Church. Check out their live enhancements at http://live.gccwired.com

I honestly don’t think our church leaders are ready to see WiFi being used during services. However, I think they are getting closer. More and more people are showing up to services with iPads. What a blessing to not have to pack all the scriptures/other church books around!
