Hello,

I'm serving as the webmaster at Grace Community Church and I was given your name via Brian Gash - who attended Pastor's College
with Jeremy Oddy.

We currently use a custom-developed web database to manage our membership, visitors, and groups. 

We are in the process of looking to replace that system with a church management system.

I believe you are using Church Community Builder - which is one of the ones we are evaluating.  So we were wondering if you could tell us how they have been working for your church?

Here are some of the areas I had questions on:

Reporting:
I did sign up for their trial access a few months ago and it looked like their product was pretty full-featured.   One of the features that stood out was their ability to define workflows of actions to automatically route emails and actions to people.

I don't remember however, how customizable the emails were?  Is it possible to define custom formatting?  Include group members, phone numbers, etc in an email to a group?

Email can be custom formatted, but you have to know the codes to do so (HTML works).  However the auto created emails for things like a task can not be edited in any way that I am aware of.  I also don’t know of a way to automatically include group member name, phone numbers, etc in an email, but the point of the groups is to avoid having to maintain copies like that anywhere else.  If someone logs in and goes to that group, they can see the participants in the group and all their information.  It is current (at least as current as members keep their info) so you don’t have to keep sending out new lists as people move, etc.

One thing our current system does is automatically send out reminders to the various teams that are serving for the upcoming Sunday.  The emails include the phone numbers and emails of the others on their team and their team lead - so that they can easily contact them if they need to reschedule. 

So having the ability to do something similar would be helpful - but not necessarily a must-have.  But having just ability to customize an email this way would be helpful.

Another use we are working toward is an email to our caregroup leaders containing the current members of their caregroup, and a place to reply and mark off who had attended.  This could be done with a link to a web form for the group (does CCB do this?) - but IMO having it in the email itself would same them having to open their web browser - and make it more likely that they would reply.

These kinds of automation go a long way toward saving time and effort to do the same things manually.

 There is not a way to currently automate the timing of sending emails – i.e. your ministry team reminders.  I would expect that would be a feature that many people could use.  There is a built-in attendance feature in the software – the leader would go into the group and record attendance for those in that group for the meeting date.

How customizable are the reports?
(another product we are looking at - People Driven Software - is very good in this area)

I don’t particularly care for the reports.  It does not have as much functionality as our previous database.  You have to create a query first to select the records that you want and then create a report to use that query.  You can then either display the results of the report on the screen or in excel.  You cannot format the appearance of the report unless you dump to excel and then work with it from there.  The financial reporting is all integrated into the system and you cannot create your own reports to pull data.  One weakness we have run into is that you cannot run reports to look at giving for a date range – which makes the pledge information worthless for our purposes.  We are in the second year of pledges for paying off our mortgage and as the system currently exists we would have to create a new account for the second year to get accurate pledge info for the current pledge year.  Otherwise is pulls all given to that fund regardless of the time frame given.  When you enter a pledge you put in a date range, so I have sent an enhancement request to have the actual giving transactions be keyed off of the date range for the pledge.  They have added it to the list of potential enhancements.

Hmm.  While the financial tracking is not one of our current requirements - these limitations are good to keep in mind for the future.

Support
How quickly do they respond to support requests?  How complete are their responses?  How often do they release updates/new functionality?  How often do they fix bugs reported by you?

They are a smaller company, but they typically get back to you regarding support requests within a couple days.  They seem committed to adding features and are in tune with their customer’s wants and needs.  They do release updates pretty regularly in a reasonable timeframe.  We have not had any bugs to report, but I would assume they deal with those pretty quickly.

 

They advertise an API - do you use it?  Does it change very often?  What steps do you have to do to integrate CCB data into your website and other systems?

We are not using API.

Usability
How much of a learning curve is there?  What areas have taken people the longest to get used to?  What areas have been the easiest?  Any things you still wish it could do?  Any things that you discovered it could do that have become invaluable?

We have taken this pretty slow and have not fully rolled it out yet.  We are planning to do so with the entire church in January.  Right now only leaders are using it.  It is pretty straightforward and only those who are not a computer savvy would struggle.

 

Cost
Do they charge by attendance?  Membership?  Have they increased their rates?  What price range are they in?

The cost is based on attendance.  We are only into our second year of using the system, but have not yet had a price increase.  I don’t know all the pricing bands, but we pay $1,500/year and are in the 675-875 attendance band.

 

Hmm - in that case they are less than PDS - but they also have some of the limitations you mentioned.

 

Anything else you would recommend that we look out for?  Things you wish you had thought of?
Brian - are there any other questions you have?

Thanks for any info you can give us.

I've been thinking about the time committment it will take to update the Directory to provide a form for caregroup leaders to make attendance reports, adding pictures to the directory, adding event registration, correcting reports, etc, etc.

I'm thinking it may be wiser to see if we can find a Church Management system that provides the features we need - and spend my time helping to administer that system + the website.

There are some features that I'm just itching to go and program in a bit better way - but I think that would end up taking more time in addition to the other things on my plate.

Plus, if anything would ever happen to me, it would be a lot easier to keep going with an external company.

Toward that end, I've reviewed the research I've done in the past and it looks like a lot of the systems cover the basic needs (member/group/visitor/attendance tracking) - but there are a few specialized features that we use or want to use that few systems have.

I've narrowed it down to a few of the best-fitting systems - and contacted them to see if they can meet any of our specialized requirements. If any of them can, then they would be the best fit.

Here are the specialized requirements:

1. Automatic, repeating reminders for group members
• Example - Sending an email reminder every 2 weeks to the members of group - containing information about the group members at the time it was sent. If the members of the group change - the email recipients and content also automatically changes.
• Example - sending out a reminder to fill out the attendance form
2. Ability to enter more than one visitor at once
• Example - entering 5 visitors, rather than having to enter each individually
3. Ability to view birthdays/anniversaries in a calendar, or integrate them into other calendars
4. Ability for online registration and payment for events, and assigning registered people to sessions, rooms, etc ..

And here are the systems that I think may fit the best:

I will let you know what I find out about them.

In the mean time I will continue to work on adding a survey/email for caregroup leaders to report their attendance.

Let me know what you think.

Hmmm... Good question.  The answer is "not right now."

 

You'd want to be very careful with this...if you use all the ones we have setup for you right out of the box, they are highly dependent on good data being entered by somehow who is well aware of the follow up that will be generated, esp to 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th time guests.  You could easily get into trouble with you automate it too much.  But if you want to automate just certain lists, then this could be a powerful feature.

 

Thanks for the feedback,

 

Mark

Thanks for the info.  I don't know if I'll be available at 2pm - but if I am I will check it out.

 Another, unrelated question I thought of after I sent that last one:

 I like the design of your automated processes.  Is there any way to invoke this processing from the command line or via some other scheduled process?
