PARISH LETTER
April 27, 2021

Something awesome is coming very soon, and, with the help of the Lord, it is going to be amazing: a web-integrated, cloud-based church management (CM) software that will have our office better equipped and our congregation even more engaged, enabling staff and members to scale, and delivering better parishioners experiences.

Corpus Christi will invest in a one, centered database management system that will engage the entire church body on a whole new level by (i) integrating record keeping into the daily motion of our Parish life while keeping confidential information secure, (ii) boosting engagement and productivity while reducing operational inefficiencies, (iii) creating a simpler user interface for a collection of data that will help recognize and communicate with members and pre-members in a scalable way, (iv) gaining true insight for and into actual involvement, personal growth and Parish health (v), allowing automating repetitive tasks to free up staff and congregation to focus on more strategic and creative work, and (vi) improving Parish morale and maximize results.

OBJECTIVES
1. To know more about our members than just their faces or names.

2. To fuel Parish goals with integrated resources that ministries, organizations, small groups, staff and clergy need.

3. To give the entire Corpus Christi body the tools to build meaningful relationships.

4. To engage members before, during and long after they walked through Corpus Christi doors.

5. To stop blasting and start targeting communications.

6. To dig deeper with real data and insights to impact the entire community.

The CM software will be approachable, useful, and a part of everyday life – available whenever the congregation, staff and clergy needs it from any computer or electronic device, as well as from Parish in-wall touchscreens and tablets.

The software tools will serve the unique needs of Corpus Christi, and bring uniformity and efficiency to how the Parish handles the administration, connections, reporting, and giving, among others.

This much needed web-integrated system will engage the entire Corpus Christi body on a whole new level for years to come. In the days ahead, more information will be coming your way through our different channels of communications. In the interim, let us pray together that the blessings and grace of this Holy Season be with all of us!
