ROAR Recommended by LifeWay Digital Church as Trusted Church App Developer

ALPHARETTA, Ga., Aug. 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- ROAR, developer of mobile apps for churches, has been selected by LifeWay Christian Resources of the Southern Baptist Convention to become the recommended church app developer for churches and ministries seeking to develop their own custom church app. With nine in 10 smartphone owners using their phones to access the Internet or email (Pew Research), many churches are looking to partner with a trusted church app developer to make use of this widely used communication tool. LifeWay recommends ROAR as a reliable and trustworthy church technology partner.

"We've worked with hundreds of churches across the nation on their mobile websites, mobile web app, custom church apps, and social media strategy," comments Matt McKee, owner of ROAR. "We are excited that LifeWay has chosen to recommend our firm as their primary church app developer."

In a recent report on smartphone adoption by the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project, the research firm finds that two in five cell owners own a smartphone. As smartphone adoption rates continue to increase, churches can't deny that communicating via a church app provides many possibilities for connecting with people on-the-go.

"LifeWay carefully and deliberately recommends select solutions to the thousands of churches we serve, and are proud to now include ROAR on our list of providers for Digital Church solutions," says Matt Morris, project manager for LifeWays Digital Church. "ROAR will help us expand into the church market even further by allowing churches the opportunity to have their own uniquely branded app that their congregations can utilize."

LifeWay already has significant market share in the church app market and currently offers over 30 different apps.
