Everyone who comes through the door of your church wants to feel connected. The sooner newcomers are identified and connected to seven new friends1 the better. And the more connected your regular attendees and members are, the less likely they will slip unnoticed out the back door. Personal touch is a must. This will be done with a series of contacts or connections with each person.
A sense of welcome can be defined in many ways:
Feeling Connected . . . Comfortable . . . Glad to Belong
Being Recognized . . . Accepted . . .
Wanted
Meeting New Friends . . . Keeping Old Friends
If you are like most churches, you already obtain information about your visitors and guests—whether they are first-timers or repeat visitors.
The Challenge?
How can you most effectively use this information to connect with these new people?
The Solution?
ACS Connections—a comprehensive management tool. It will help you accurately track visitor activity and manage your church’s response. This completely customizable software enables you to enter, plan and manage incoming and outgoing contacts.
If parents know their kids are safe, they will be more likely to keep coming back.
The Challenge?
How can you give parents peace of mind about their children's security?
The Solution?
ACS CheckPoint is a convenient, efficient way to check in all the kids for Sunday school, children's church, midweek programs or youth group. This security module may be used on a stand-alone or staffed computer. Either way, you can be confident that you know who is in each class and only authorized adults will pick up each child.
If adults and teens have a small group of peers with whom they regularly fellowship, they will continue to experience a sense of welcome and belonging.
The Challenge?
How do you oversee, publicize and manage all our various small groups?
The Solution?
Either PC-based ACS People, the cornerstone of the ACS People Suite which offers two options for group setup and management; or web-based Access ACS, a secure, online companion to ACS People with a customizable Small Group feature that allows staff, group leaders and members to browse available groups or update personal information.
