Welcome to Chrrch v0.3a!

Posted on August 29, 2008, under Chrrch, Projects.

Well we launched v0.3a about an hour ago.

It's definately rough but I think it serves it's purpose for this alpha stage application.
We released the Mail Merge feature which includes printing and emailing of letters.
You can chose your recipients by individual or by groups.

See Justin's blog for more extensive information about the new Mail Merge feature.
Visit Justin's blog at http://justin.remote-app.com/.

I personally did the Processes & Queues section which gives you the ability to standardize practices on how you handle certain people such as visitors.  Things like Sending Welcome letters is easy and definately a good way to keep track of the status of people.

Don't forget, the pilot program is still going on and any church looking to take advantage of getting a fully functional hosted church management system for FREE should contact us today and get started.

We hope you enjoy v0.3a!

Chrrch – What is to come in v0.3a?

Posted on August 22, 2008, under Chrrch, Projects.

As some of you know, Chrrch is coming along quickly.

In v0.3a we are adding 2 new major features…

Our Mail Merge feature allows for very extensive letter creation using "MS Word-like" formatting capabilities. These letters can be sent in several different sessions in email or printable format.

Mail letters can be reused by other people in your church if needed. You can add individual people or entire groups of people as recipients to your mail session.

Processes and Queues is a new feature of Chrrch and is not something uncommon to see in other ChMS systems. This is the "tracking" piece that you may get in other systems such as not letting your visitors fall through the cracks. This allows you to create individual procedures and reuse them for anyone in your database.

An example of a Process would be "First Time Visitors" and it may have different queues or tasks that need completed when a visitor is added to this process such as "Send Visitor Letter" or "In-home Visitation" or "Send Fruit Basket"(if you are really nice, please send one my way too!)

Each process has managers, these would typically be pastoral staff that have tasks to do for each visitor or person in the queue. These managers will receive email notifications when a new person is added to their queue or they are assigned to a queue as well as a upcoming tasks will appear on their Dashboard so they can get a overview of the closely due queues.

The explanation of these features will become more extensive once they are released and utilized but this is merely a small announcement of them.

Happy programming!

UPDATE! This functionality should launch on Friday, August 29nd, 2008.

Posted on August 22, 2008, under Chrrch, Projects.

Well, last night our latest version of Chrrch was released.

This is considered version 0.2a which includes financial management not including CCD/ACH processing.

Also, for any church that is interested – please contact me to get setup. If you are looking for a free church management system then this is a great opportunity to find one. This service is/will be a premium service with paid functionality but as a pilot church you will receive your account for free indefinately.

The next post will outline what is to be expected for Version 0.3a!

Well, things are moving along.
Slowly!

We just picked up another developer but him and I are trying to knock out another project first and then we'll be all about Chrrch.

Hopefully once we get this project done you should see Chrrch moving to a public beta.

Hope all is well!
