Dear Church Family,
There are so many exciting things going on in the life of this new church we are building together! I am so proud of how everyone is stepping up to fill much needed roles in the church and giving of themselves so sacrificially! Keep up the good work and remember it is all for the glory of God and to see his kingdom here on earth filled with new converts.
As we continue to strive for growth and a deeper connection among our church family, I'm thrilled to introduce a new tool that I believe will be a game-changer for us all—the Church Center app by Planning Center. This app is a part of our new church management software that is going to allow us to better fulfill our vision and mission as a church. But it is not just a digital tool but an extension of our community where faith meets convenience.
With Church Center, you can easily stay informed about all the exciting events and activities happening at The Crossings. From your smartphone or home computer, you can check the calendar, sign up for events, and even manage your giving. It's designed to make your participation in our church more accessible and engaging.
And if you are serving on a ministry team (and you all should be serving on a ministry team) this app is where you will find your volunteer schedule each week, block out dates you cant serve and see receive all the materials or information needed to fulfill your role correctly.
One of my favorite features is the community group chat—no more group text threads that keep being changed to keep track of! If you serve on a ministry team or belong to a small group at the church your messages will be in the same place. No need to start a new text thread when someone leaves or joins the group!
Additionally as our children’s ministry grows your family’s check-in process will also be smoother than ever. Pre-select who you’re checking in, scan your phone upon arrival, and you’re all set!
So please I need EVERYBODY to start by setting up your profile here: Church Center Profile Setup.
After setting up your profile please go to your app store on your phone and download the “Church Center” app by planning center and log in using the credentials you just created at the link above. Its that easy!
Thank you for embracing this new step, as together we create pathways for spiritual growth and stronger community ties. Let’s harness this tool to tell inspiring stories of how God is working in and through us.
Grace and Peace, Pastor Justin |
