Owning A
Church Database program allows you to organize the
information about your members in a better, more organized
way. having a Church Database program will also save
you a lot of time. All of this is just the beginning!
What you may find interesting is
initially God ordered the first database. How, you may
wonder?
For the answer we look at
Numbers 1:1-2 where the Lord tells Moses to take a
census of the whole Israelite community by their clans and
families, listing every man by name, one by one.
Church Database programs keep track of people and of
information about people.

When
searching for a Church Database program, what most are
looking for is a
Church Membership Software program which is a software
program to stay on top of and track members of the church.
This could even include tracking and managing
visitors to the church.
In fact, if you look at the menu to
the left under Member Management, you can see the numerous
ways you can manage your members, the numerous way the
shepherd (pastor) can work with and take care of their
flock.
In some of the areas, they serve
multiple purposes. Take the People Helping People
feature, for example. This feature serves many
purposes focused around helping you point people to other
people who can help them or fill a need they have, thus, why
we called it the People Helping People Module. Check
it out and see all of the uses it has ... very powerful,
very flexible.
The point here is for
you to effectively learn about the features a church
database program has (otherwise called "Church Management
Software System), you really need to have a
walk-through of the program with a qualified account
manager who can also answer your questions.
A Church Database versus a Spread
Sheet:
A church database program over a spreadsheet
allows you to access the data far faster and a lot easier,
along with giving you a lot more ways to use that data.
Reporting on the data is a lot easier and so is merging that
data with letters and into emails.
Plus, if the church database program
is written well you won't have to re-enter information
already in the system where it's not uncommon to have
re-enter the same information like the members name in a
spreadsheet numerous times.
You will find that when
you're dealing with more than 20 members, a church database
program becomes very advantageous and will save you an incredible
amount of time.
If you're currently using a
spreadsheet for your members or to process
contributions/tithes, moving over to a church database program will
give you a lot more flexibility and more options.
You'll wonder how you ever survived without a church database
program.
