When your member information is accurate and up to date, you have a better read on how they’re doing. You can better connect with them.
For instance, imagine you’re setting up a mail merge to print address labels for a church mailing. If your records are out-of-date, you might inadvertently send mailings to the wrong address or even to the address of a deceased member.
On top of the logistical issues this may cause, it might appear as insensitive. While some of these instances are unavoidable (e.g., a member moves without telling you), your church membership software must make it easy for you to keep diligent records.
With Church360° Members, you can create profiles of individuals and households featuring contact details, demographic information, and custom fields like hobbies or interests. The same profile you see for a member is the same profile your secretary/pastor sees, so you don’t have to worry about duplicate or conflicting information.
Plus, Church360° Members integrates seamlessly with Church360° Unite and Church360° Ledger to keep your information consistent across the board with your church management software platforms.
Within Church360° Members, you can easily track peoples’ attendance for worship or other events like Bible studies with your church management software. You can also record when members receive Holy Communion—a helpful metric when considering how you offer spiritual care.
It’s never just about the numbers, but data can be exceptionally helpful in demonstrating trends that are otherwise difficult to discern. Church360° Members lets you easily identify trends in congregational engagement over time. Simply create charts or trend lines and compare how statistics have changed.
Church360° Members is much more than a member database—it also offers church communication tools to help you connect with your members. You can easily send mass emails and texts to members at no additional cost. Announcements from the pulpit or the printed church newsletter are effective, but when you need to get the word out now, these tools help reach people anytime, anywhere.
In addition, you can choose to utilize the voice-messaging feature in the Church360° Members communications module. Simply contact us to purchase the voice credits you need, then send out recorded voice messages when you need to send a personal yet widespread message.
Sometimes plans change—like an event gets canceled due to weather. Send a quick voice message to those who would be affected!
Or, maybe it’s a busy time of year, and you don’t want key event information to fall through the cracks. You can even send a reminder text to your youth group parents about the upcoming important mission trip deadline.
No one is alone in his or her walk with Christ. That’s why community and engagement are so important for the church.
Church360° Members church membership software facilitates this with tags and smart groups based on specific criteria, like age, attendance, or membership status. You can even tag members in bulk, making the process much more streamlined!
When you need help in the church nursery, look for people who you’ve tagged as “Interested in childcare.” When you’re looking through RSVPs for a meal, double-check who might have tags for food allergies.
Additionally, these tags and groups help you target communication. When you have a curated list available, you can send an email or text to just them—not the entire church.
Save time and space by ditching paper records. Church360° Members makes entering and tracking offerings easy, allowing you to associate contributions with individuals or envelope numbers.
Furthermore, the software integrates seamlessly with Vanco Payment Solutions, a top online giving platform for churches. Easily sync online and physical offerings with these tools in your toolkit!
Because recordkeeping requires the utmost transparency, Church360° Members also lets you compile detailed reports of contributions and generate giving statements for tax purposes.
Like we’ve said before, it’s not about the numbers, but the numbers tell a story. With Church360° Members, you can effortlessly generate trends and reports that analyze attendance, giving, and engagement trends. This helps to signify the health of the church and its members, which can reveal opportunities for growth and spiritual care.
Want to keep your eye on something? You can save specific views of reports (e.g. weekly attendance trends) to revisit and compare later.
