About

We are a digital community that is very much alive. It is our mission to resource the Church with timely, relevant, practical, and exceptionally awesome content focused on technology and creativity.

We are passionate about how the Church, ministries, and non-profits use technology to effectively fulfill their mission to the world.

With a small blog that started in September of 2008, we’ve grown to reach millions a year, launched an ebook publishing platform, and have landed at #23 of the top 300 Christian blogs.

Welcome to ChurchMag. We’re glad you’re here.

I am a blogger, business owner and lover of coffee. I am a writer and editor for ChurchMag, but you can also find me working on Open Church, and Pressware. I am grateful that my passion to encourage and empower the Church has been melded with my 20+ years of media communication experience as I write and care for the ChurchMag community; all while enjoying my family and sipping espresso in Italy.

I blog exclusively about church technology as a senior staff writer at ChurchMag as well as about life in general on my personal site JeremyGrantSmith.com.

Phil Schneider
Senior Staff Writer: Technology & Theology
ChurchMag Writer Since 2011
[email protected]

I’m a teacher, preach, and a part-time blogger. I primarily write for ChurchMag, but you can find some of my thoughts about theology, philosophy, and “churchology” at my personal site. I don’t like talking about myself much—especially in a bio section—so I’ll shift the focus to my most important accomplishment: my family. My wife, Kaitlyn, is a constant source of wisdom and inspiration from which most of my best work flows. Our daughter, Emma, is so amazing that she nearly defies description.

Are you jealous yet? Hmm. I must not be a very good writer, cause you should be.

Rachel Blom
Senior Staff Writer: Blogging & Writing
ChurchMag Writer Since 2012

I’m Dutch of origin, but American at heart and since 2014 I live in upstate New York with my husband and son (7). I’m an author, writer, blogger, and former youth pastor who tries to love Jesus more than anything. Writing and students are my passion but reading is almost an addiction; I devour over 150 books a year, which makes me a walking encyclopedia of completely useless, but fun facts. I also love hiking and I’m learning to play the drums.

I’m an English as a foreign language teacher who is currently based in Krakow, Poland. In my spare time you’ll find me taking photos, playing the ukulele or experimenting with the latest apps. I’ve been a fan of technology ever since I was a child and used it to help me overcome my learning difficulties. Now I try and help others use technology to its fullest and avoid its pitfalls.

Blessing Mpofu
Staff Writer: IT & Security
ChurchMag Writer Since 2015

Husband to Ingrid. We live in Cape Town, South Africa. Glad Jesus loves me and grateful for His grace. I worked in IT and currently doing my theology undergrad. I think and process a lot by writing. I’m a blogger, growing leader and communicator. All I want to do is change the world. I love great coffee, playing squash (the sport), reading and great music. Most of my writing on ChurchMag endeavours to explore whys and hows. I’m fascinated by the church’s thinking behind how it views and uses technology. I try to build a bridge or interface between church life, mission and tech. I love making friends; get in touch.

Meghan Howard
Staff Writer: Church Evangelism through Digital and Social Media Communication
ChurchMag Writer Since 2016

When I am not writing, I work as a pastor on staff at Fairborn UMC in Ohio where I spend most of my time working with the Digital and Social Media Communications of the church. In addition, I also lead worship and preach from time-to-time. In 2015 I earned my Doctor of Ministry degree in Digital/Social Media and it’s use within the church’s communication and evangelism efforts. Enough about me – I have an incredible husband and two of the coolest kids on the planet. My goal is to make Jesus known and help churches and other organizations tell their story and expand their digital footprint.

ChurchMag Writer Since 2015

I’m a technologist at heart. I’ve spent the last 15 years working in the IT industry and have developed a passion to provide free and low-cost solutions for home and business with a specialty for assisting churches and non-profits. IT is a ministry for me. God has given me a mind to comprehend and troubleshoot the technical world and a personality to relay that information to the end user in a way that makes sense. Before technology even comes into the equation life flows in this order: Christ, my beautiful bride, my children and then everything else. Aside from IT I have a passion and desire to see men set free to walk out in true, God honoring masculinity. I run a blog on the “dad life”, marriage, faith and relationships at http://www.redeemingfatherhood.com
