Introducing Polls: A New Way to Engage Your Congregation in Real Time

At Gloo, we’re all about making church communication easier, more effective, and more engaging. That’s why we’re excited to announce our newest Gloo+ feature: Polls! This innovative tool is designed to help church leaders like you connect with your community in real-time, gather meaningful feedback, and foster deeper participation. Whether you're looking to enhance a worship service or make decisions with your congregation’s input, Polls is here to transform the way you engage with your people.

 

Why Polls Matter

 

In today’s fast-paced world, it’s essential to stay connected with your congregation in ways that are simple, fun, and interactive. Polls offer just that. Imagine being able to ask questions and get real-time answers from your church members while they’re sitting in the pews or attending a youth group event. With Polls, you can see how your congregation feels or thinks about a particular topic within seconds.

 

How Polls Work

 

Exclusively available to Gloo+ members, Polls allow you to create custom questions and receive instant feedback, displayed live during your service or event. No one needs to download an app to participate—members simply scan a QR code or click a link, making it easier than ever for everyone to get involved.

 

Once your poll is set up, you can watch the results roll in, live, as your community casts their votes. You can even project the results on a large screen for everyone to see, creating a sense of unity and excitement within your congregation.

 

Why Church Leaders Love Polls

 

Polls aren’t just about collecting data—they’re about creating a conversation, enhancing your community’s engagement, and empowering every voice to be heard. Here are a few ways Polls can help you in your ministry:

 

Youth Group Games: Kick off your youth group meetings with fun, interactive icebreaker games using Polls. Get every student involved by letting them vote on their favorite game or activity, helping to break the ice and create a welcoming environment.

 

Event Planning: Need help deciding on the best time or activity for your next church event? Use Polls to ask your congregation for their input on dates, times, or activities. With real-time results, you can make decisions that will ensure better attendance and higher engagement.

 

Small Group Discussions: When planning your small group sessions, use Polls to let members vote on the topics they want to explore in the next semester. By giving them a say in the conversation, you’re fostering ownership and investment in the group’s growth.

 

Congregational Feedback: During church meetings or town halls, use Polls to gauge opinions on important decisions, such as budget allocations or building projects. Polls allow you to receive immediate feedback from everyone in attendance, ensuring that every voice is heard before moving forward.

 

Sermon Feedback: Want to make your sermons more interactive? Use Polls during worship to ask questions or get real-time reactions to sermon points. It’s a great way to get your congregation more engaged and participating in the message.

 

Get Real-Time Results with Polls

 

Polls bring real-time feedback into your hands. Not only does this help you make informed decisions, but it also shows your congregation that their input is valued. And because the results are displayed live, everyone can see how the community feels in the moment.

 

With Polls, you’ll discover how easy it is to bring your congregation into the conversation, creating more dynamic, responsive, and inclusive environments where every voice counts.
