Easter Follow-Up

It’s the Monday after Resurrection Sunday. The last note of the cantata has been sung, the plastic eggs are all emptied of candy, and you wonder if you will see any of those guests again before Christmas.

Don’t leave the follow-up to chance. Check out these resources to create great guest follow-up that are automated! – because every church staff and volunteer needs a break after Sunday!

Child Safety Training

The lifelong damage caused by child abuse is devastating. Those working in ministries have a tremendous opportunity to protect children, but many don't know the signs of abuse because they’ve never been properly trained. Don't let this be YOUR ministry’s blind spot.

Complete your due diligence and help protect the children and families in your community that trust your ministry. Implement and mandate a comprehensive child safety training program for all ministry employees and volunteers.
