Empower Your Congregation With Church Office Online

January 2nd 2012

Have you ever…

  • …worked hard to produce a Church Directory only to have it outdated once it was published?
  • …been asked to call or email a group of people only to find that contact addresses given didn’t work?
  • …wondered how much you gave to the church or where you were on your pledge before the end of the year?
  • …showed up for a church event or meeting that was cancelled or moved and you didn’t know about it?
  • …forgot to leave a forwarding address and you knew people in your church would be trying to get ahold of you?
  • …been overwhelmed with trying to keep up with the constant changes in peoples email addresses and phone numbers?

 

It’s Time to Empower Your People with their own Individual Secure Access to your Church Office Online program allowing them to:
