QR Codes have made a bit of a comeback in 2020. So many restaurants and businesses have been using QR codes now and they are really easy to use. In fact, here are a list of QR code generators that you can use.

But what would you use QR codes for your Church or Ministry? Watch this video, listen to the podcast or read the bullet points below.

Ways Churches can Use QR Codes:

1. Digital Connection Card: Link the code to a digital connection card for people to fill out easily
2. Event information: You can place a QR code around your building with more information about certain events
3. Put in Print Ads. Print ads are still valuable. Take a QR code and put it in a magazine or newspaper with a link to your website so people can simply scan in the code from their phone.
4. Bible Study Invites: There are plenty of Online Bible Studies and Groups you can invite people to.
5. On a T-Shirt. If you make a Church or ministry t-shirt put a QR code on the back of your shirt so someone can scan it in just randomly. People are curious so if they see a QR code on a shirt they may just scan it just to see where it leads. Have the code go to a landing page.
6. On Emails. You can either do this for your ministry or the Church as aa whole. Put it under your signature as a way for people to take
7. On a Church Sign. If your Church is on a busy street corner with lots of foot traffic, having a QR code on your sign could be a great way to get people checking out and learning more about your Church.
