About

BCNM Connect

Features
Read full description

The BCNM Connect app offers useful blogs on church life and ministry, information on BCNM events, and church, state, and denominational news. Church members can stay informed about upcoming trainings and other meetings, read about ministries in friends churches, and learn about denominational happenings. Church leaders will find helpful blog resources and details about BCNM events, camps, and more. During BCNM events, the app will transform in to an essential meeting tool with meeting schedules, room assignments, maps, speaker bios, and more. Over time, user feedback will help BCNM staff make the app even more handy and useful. Bible study tool descriptions and links for leaders, teachers, and learners are in planning. Other plans include content sections for children’s workers, for high school students, and for college students. The app will help church members engage more deeply in their churches’ ministries and will assist leaders with equipping saints for the work of service. It will inspire and encourage saints to carry out the mission. Designed to be a constantly updated source of helps and information, church leaders and members will want to install the app and check back regularly for new content. The app is offered and managed by the Baptist Convention of New Mexico’s Office of Communication and Technology.
