Purpose: Increase ministry participation.

The hardest part of moving a big boulder is to get it to budge that first little bit. Once moving, it's easier to keep moving. Isn't it the same with people?

Encourage your congregation to overcome their own inertia and stay involved by keeping 'their stone rolling.'

Isn't it true that we are either on the upward spiral or downward one? Why not keep us moving upward!

    Communications
    Unleash the power of social media.

    Purpose: Improve communication and build community.

    Does communication happen all on its own? No. It usually takes effort. Why not let the computer do the heavy lifting for you?

    Now, you can dramatically improve communication between you, your friends, your church and your community.

    Outbound: People like to receive communications in different ways. Some people like a phone call or a text message, while others like email. Some people don't like to be bothered much at all. That's why it's important to engage them in a variety of ways. That's one reason why social media has been proven to work so well.

    People can interact when its best for them to:

    • Post Reviews
    • Make Wall Posts
    • React and Comment on Posts from Others
    • Receive Discussion Alerts
    • Receive New Content Alerts
    • RSVP for Meetings
    • Register for Events

    Inbound: How do you generate leads and attract participants?

    One challenge is a person might read about your ministry and be interested, but they often are reluctant to call or send an email. Why? Because they don't really know what they're getting involved with and don't want to commit until they learn more and get comfortable. Often, this is a process.

    Interactive tools for your website and in emails make it more likely to attract people to your cause and start the process.

    People can simply click to:

    • Follow Your Ministry
    • Volunteer to Serve Your Ministry
    • Send an Inquiry

    Then, they are automatically included in all your ministry communications like email broadcasts, meetings announcements (RSVPs) event registrations and more!

    Email Validations

    Purpose: Ensure email delivery and accurate data.

    When a member completes their application, they are sent an email validation.

    So, we'll know that they entered a valid email address and that the email is getting to their inbox.

    Administrators have the ability to resend validation emails if requested.
