Sermons and Podcasts
Uploading, finding, and listening to sermons is simple.
It’s easy to share sermons, bible classes, and special series on your website. Our simple uploader allows you to upload MP3 files in addition to supplemental sermon files (e.g., PDF’s, PowerPoints, Word Documents) along with support for sermon thumbnails. Directly link to a sermon’s video hosted on YouTube, Vimeo, or other video hosting/streaming provider. Tag your sermons with speaker, series, service, topic, and passages to make it easy for listeners to find the sermons they’re looking for. With multiple display options, you can choose to showcase your sermons in both gallery/grid or list views.
Built-in Google Analytics support allows administrators to see which sermons are popular and most listened to on your website.
Automatic podcast feeds and built-in social media sharing.
To make it easier to share your sermons, Congregate automatically creates podcasts to which listeners can subscribe on their own devices. Podcasts can also be submitted to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast directories to make your material easy to find.
Sermons can be shared on multiple social media platforms and emailed to friends and family from your website and from the Congregate Members app.
Easy member access to sermons.
Sermons uploaded over the past week are included in the optional weekly recap email, offering members quick access to the sermons preached that week. The built-in sermon player in the Congregate Members app allows members to play sermons directly within the Congregate app on their mobile devices.
Transcribe sermons using AI with one click.
Using the power of AI, Congregate can transcribe your entire sermon and output its content into a text file. This premium add-on is perfect for finding references within a sermon (using text search), determining exactly what was said in a sermon (without listening to the sermon audio), posting the sermon’s transcript to your website for SEO, or keeping private transcript records for preachers and teachers.
You can add sermon transcription to your Congregate service plan.
