Here's your easiest way to get The Index

With the ceasing of printing of the bi-weekly Christian Index this issue, the online edition remains the best way to get news and features on a daily basis.

The best way to access that content is just two clicks away with The Christian Index app. This easy-to-use product is housed on the new GBC app for smartphones and tablets.

Readers can download the Convention’s app in Apple or Android formats from the respective online stores. The GBC app replaces the former approach that featured individual apps from various departments and rolls them all into one easy-to-use platform.

The newest app was updated on July 24 and offers a variety of portals into GBC life, ranging from timely requests for disaster relief volunteers to special training sessions for church staff.

The Christian Index app is a valuable addition to the Convention’s web-based content.
