Church planting is hard work. We want to make life easier.
With each new church plant, you need to setup a website with a domain name and custom email accounts. Then you have to set up Google or Office 365 accounts to share files and manage your emails and then you need a Church Management System to keep track of your new members and schedule. If you want to send out regular email updates to your congregation, you then need to setup a Mailchimp account.
Even for a small team, you need a relatively tech savvy person and not every new church plant has such as a person.
You have to create users accounts for each of your users. This might mean creating multiple accounts for some people; one for Google, one for Squarespace, and one for Mailchimp. If someone leaves your church, you’ll have to go into each service to delete all of their accounts. This might be OK when you’re first planting your church since it’s only a few people, but if your church grows, this becomes unmanageable quickly.
The other temptation is to not both with all this and simply use whatever apps you’re familiar with. You throw together a quick website, use your personal email account, store files on your personal computer or your favorite cloud storage suite. But one person uses Google Drive and another uses Dropbox and yet another uses Office 365. Again this is fine with a small team, but tracking down graphics can be a pain even if everyone is using one service.
What if we could offer you all the features each of these services provide without the complexity of managing it all? You’re in luck! You can!
