Transition from 17 Year-Old Database<br />

to New <strong>Church</strong> Management System<br />

At <strong>Word</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Peace</strong>, people are at the heart <strong>of</strong> our ministry. Knowing<br />

where you are in your faith story is an important way for us to help<br />

you grow in your discipleship. As exciting as it is to be part <strong>of</strong> a<br />

large church, we recognize that sometimes you might feel like just<br />

a body in a large community <strong>of</strong> other bodies, without any real connection<br />

to other people <strong>of</strong> Christ.<br />

<strong>Word</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Peace</strong> pastors and staff work hard to give personal attention<br />

to everyone but in a large congregation, it can be difficult to<br />

keep track <strong>of</strong> everyone’s needs without having the right program<br />

to manage it all. For 17 years they have been using a database<br />

program designed for much smaller churches, and that program is<br />

no longer feasible.<br />

This year, <strong>Word</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Peace</strong> is transitioning to a new comprehensive<br />

church management solution! This new solution will provide pastors<br />

and staff with systems and processes that will help them care<br />

for every individual <strong>of</strong> this church. It will help you grow in your<br />

faith and connect with other people in the church, develop your<br />

interests, fulfill your spiritual needs, and guide you towards becoming<br />

part <strong>of</strong> a strong Christian community.<br />
