Koinonia Link – Church Management, CRM, & Sermon Manager vs Church Sermon Video List

An easy way for a church to list there sermon videos on their website. It includes an advanced search, which will search based on date, name, or scripture. For example, If you have a video with the scripture set to “Psalm 16:1-11”, the search will allow “Psalm 16:8” to match that, because 8 is between 1 and 11. The search also includes some spelling corrections, to help people who spell things phonetically. I originally made this plugin for a pastor I know, and decided to make it public so other churches could use it. How To Use: [cs-list list=”1″]
