Building Church Community through ClassMembers.org
Building a sense of community among church members is valuable to church leaders.
Networking through interactive social media sites like Facebook and LinkedIn are popular
tools that people use - including church people - to stay in touch.
ClassMembers.org
provides an opportunity for members to network and stay in touch, helping create that
sense of community. The site can be customized to support the unique ministries of each
individual church and even each department within a church.
We combines a church picture directory with social media
Picture directories acquaint church members with one another by helping them connect names to faces. Social networking media sites like Facebook and LinkedIn include that feature along with the capability of interactive communication.
By combining these features into one site, ClassMembers.org has created an environment that improves recognition and encourages personal interaction among members that helps build healthy relationships which can help retain/increase membership.
ClassMembers.org improves organizational communication
Along with encouraging interpersonal communication, ClassMembers.org also enhances the communication of organizational information such as church-wide and ministry-wide announcement pages. Telephone and e-mail lists are easily generated and announcements can be quickly sent to all members or targeted to special groups and committees.
The site can include other helpful communication tools as well, like online calendars, department information pages (customized by each department) and customized pages that promote opportunities and serve particular church ministries. All of these pages (and more) can be customized and maintained by your people with no special training/skills and at no additional cost.
ClassMembers.org is easy to administrate & update
ClassMembers.org de-centralizes data entry by allowing members to enter and
update their own pictures and personal information. This removes the burden from
administrative staff who are normally responsible for assembling picture
directories (that are quickly outdated), and managing information through
client-server applications, spreadsheets and other database programs.
The information itself, however, is centralized and easy to access (based
on security clearance) from anywhere. ClassMembers.org can also be updated
in real time so pictures and contact information are current and relevant.
