https://pushpay.com/g/mantenonazareneChurch App!!!!!!!!!
The Manteno Church app is available in your app store! Download it now! Google: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.pushpay.mantenonazarene Apple: https://apps.apple.com/in/app/manteno-naz/id6593659592
This will be a place, of course, to re-watch again and again those amazing sermons or take copious notes of profundity live during any Sunday service with links to the Scriptural texts of the day. Are you convinced you need the app, yet? Yes, those are features within the app, but we’re really excited that this will make it easier with things like volunteer scheduling, giving, and contribution tracking. Easy access to the church events calendar and weekly announcements together with the ability to sign-up for push notifications should be really pretty great too!
