Engaging and growing disciples takes time, energy, and lots of prayers. As a church administer or leader, you are in charge of not only making this happen but also all the little things around your church. From handling the donations given on a Sunday morning to making sure the children’s ministry is running effectively, there are many tasks on your plate. We understand because we’ve been there. Our team of experts has worked in churches across the country and has seen what works and what doesn’t work. We have also seen what churches need to be successful. One key component we know would help churches excel are church software integrations.
Church software integrations make it possible to keep your data all in one place for easy analysis, action items, and peace-of-mind.
Integrations
Giving
We’re all busy. Creating an online platform for your members to give eliminates the nagging feeling they get when they need to write a check at the end of the month. If you add the fact that you can integrate your giving platform with your church website and church management software, new opportunities begin to open up. Assign tasks to certain elders, leaders, or other staff members to handle any donation. Be alerted when a member submits a tithe online. Auto schedule messages to be sent to each donor so that at the end of the day everyone knows they are valued.
Background Checks
Looking at the staggering statics when it comes to the safety of churches is concerning. Conducting background checks is one way to help not only protect your church’s name, but also all the people inside. Completing someone’s background check isn’t a one and done type of task. Background checks should be conducted every 6-12 months to ensure maximum protection. But, don’t let that quick turnaround overwhelm you. Using church software integrations helps you because you can schedule reminders, set up alerts, send emails, let people apply online, etc. No more forgetting important things that help make your church a safe space for all who come.
Live Streaming
Since the holidays are near, people will be traveling. This means you’ll have a group of members in your congregation who will not be in attendance. Combine travel with flu season and some churches see a drastic decrease in their attendance. Don’t let that stop you from getting the word out. Live stream your sermons so that people can stay in touch. By integrating your live stream with your church website, you can manage it easily in one place. No more worrying that you have the exact link set up or that you are doing it wrong. We’ve got your back and our integration makes it easy to handle.
Church App
You want your church members to engage with the content, come to events, and take advantage of any opportunity to volunteer. However, wanting this type of engagement takes a lot of manpower. It means constant emails, bulletin inserts, last-minute phone calls seeking volunteers, and so much more. What if you could eliminate the desperation and use your church app that’s integrated with your church website and more? Through the integrated app, you can do all the things you need to do to eliminate stress and keep engagement up.
Church Management Software
Church management software integrations help you achieve the goals you have set for your church. When this powerful software is integrated with your church website, more is possible with less effort and time. For example, nearly every church is creating its annual report to show to their congregation at this time. It is filled with goals that have been set, goals that missed the mark, and goals that were altogether forgotten. With this integration, you can set alerts, reminders, schedule auto messages, and more straight to this report on your site to reach more people.
Not only that, but Church management software helps churches in many areas:
- People Management
- Church Communication
- Reporting
- Group Management
- Check-In
- Calendar
- Workflows
- Interaction
- Mobile Management
- Forms and Event Management
- Church Health Dashboards
With this many areas at the touch of a button, why not integrate and let the program work for you, not the other way around.
