-- Ink Marks the Spot LLC (doing business as ChristShare) has released a report examining online discovery tools that validates the accelerating expansion of churches' digital presence across the United States. The report positions ChristShare as a thought leader addressing a critical ministry need: helping church leaders navigate digital transformation by providing a curated digital ecosystem that connects churches, authors, and believers in one integrated platform. As congregations increasingly rely on technology to reach members and seekers, the findings offer church leaders concrete data on adoption trends, behavioral shifts, and the strategic importance of cohesive online ministry tools.

Recent research underscores both the urgency and relevance of this announcement. The 2026 State of Church Technology report by Barna Group and Pushpay surveyed 1,300 U.S. church leaders in late 2025 and found that nearly all—95 percent—view digital tools as beneficial for ministry, while 78 percent report that technology makes ministry easier. These statistics demonstrate measurable market momentum and highlight why churches need guidance on platforms that can unify their digital efforts, such as those offered by ChristShare.
Despite widespread adoption, church leaders and believers continue to face discovery gaps when searching for congregations, resources, and Christian authors online. Behavioral data shows that 80 percent of people visit a church's website before attending in person, and 75 percent judge a congregation's credibility based on its online presence, according to church website statistics. Having digital tools is not enough; churches must integrate them within a trustworthy, curated environment that reflects their theological values and mission. ChristShare's approach—combining spiritual curation with community-building features—addresses this gap by offering a values-driven alternative to mainstream marketplaces.
Younger demographics are driving demand for mobile-first, digitally engaged Christian experiences. A Barna Group and National Religious Broadcasters study found that 64 percent of Gen Z and 58 percent of Millennials engage with Christian social media accounts, signaling that digital ministry is no longer optional but necessary for reaching the next generation of believers. Churches must integrate discovery, community, and content in one accessible space to meet these expectations. ChristShare's social components and Author Spotlight feature respond directly to this demographic reality, enabling independent Christian writers to gain visibility while helping younger believers find faith-aligned content through a single, cohesive platform.
ChristShare offers a Christian-curated marketplace for books and media, Author Spotlight features for independent writers, and church directory and social components designed to function as an integrated ecosystem. Rather than treating these as separate tools, the platform connects readers with authors, believers with congregations, and churches with resources and community in a unified digital space. The spiritual curation and values-driven positioning differentiate ChristShare from algorithm-driven retailers, providing church leaders with a theologically intentional option for expanding their online reach.
Integrated digital tools deliver measurable business outcomes for congregations. General church website statistics show that churches offering online giving experience an average increase of 32 percent in overall donations, demonstrating that the integration of discovery, community, giving, and content directly impacts a church's financial health and mission reach. ChristShare's suite of tools helps churches realize these benefits by consolidating multiple functions into one platform, enabling leaders to focus on ministry rather than managing disparate systems. For church leaders considering adoption, the platform represents a practical next step in digital expansion that aligns with both theological values and operational goals.
Founded by Joni Becker, ChristShare was created to serve the Christian community's media and discovery needs through a faith-driven, curated approach.
