Churches
are all about making things happen. And often, what's happening is driven by groups:
Small groups, cell groups, ministry teams, special events, youth groups, etc.
These are just a few examples of the many ways that create community within the
church. But, keeping the membership roles, meeting schedules, and tracking attendance
can be challenging even in a relatively small congregation.
MembershipEdge
created its Groups feature to help. We provide you and your group and team leaders
with the tools they need to track group membership, schedule meetings and events,
track attendance, communicate with group members, and keep general notes and attainment
records. Whether you choose to centralize groups and events scheduling with
one or two people, or delegate responsibilities to several group leaders, MembershipEdge
has the tools you need to keep membership roles, check attendees in and out, track
attendance, prepare the church calendar, and check the availability of shared
resources to avoid conflicts. And, with the e-mail, address labels, and mail-merge
features built in, communicating with group members just got a lot quicker and
easier.
Small Groups are a growing focus in many churches. MembershipEdge
helps you define the contacts, purpose, meeting times and places, and areas of
focus. Customize each group's definition to track participation, achievement targets,
etc. Send e-mail messages to members, create labels, print check in/sign in logs.
And, with the SiteLink option, publicize your groups by linking your website to
your group directory.
MembershipEdge Groups feature will also help you
build a Calendar of Events and keep it up to date. Post your small group
meetings, special events, services, and youth group outings, etc. to the calendar.
Publish your calendar on your website "automatically" using our
SiteLink option. Then, leverage the same event data to track record attendance.
With MembershipEdge you never repeat names and addresses, phone numbers, events,
etc. because everyone shares the same integrated database.Need to know who
is using the activity center this Saturday afternoon? Use our Resources Feature
to define the facilities, vehicles, and special equipment you share. Then,
reserve them by allocating them to your Events. MembershipEdge will warn you if
you try to double book a resource and you can display a calendar of reservations
so you can quickly see when a specific resource is booked or available.
Taken
all together, our Groups Features is valuable time and frustration saver for administrators
and group leaders in today's dynamic church.
