Helpful
Year-End Reminders & Resources
|
|
This is a very busy season for most of our customers.
You have a small window of time to produce and provide reports and
documents for your organization and members. Below are links to
various resources to help make these processes as smooth and easy as possible.

Tools to
Create an Engaging Digital Experience
|
|
|
Ministry leaders know that generosity is a lifestyle
to be cultivated, not a one-time seasonal event. As you engage your
faith community in growing the discipline of giving, consider the
giving experience you create in person and online.
For your digital giving experience, you have even more
options on how to engage your givers. Did you see all the new
releases this fall? Take a peek below!

Express
Form
The Express Form provides a simple, clear giving
experience, backed by research on gift abandon rates.
|
|
|

Impact Report allows you to clearly articulate your mission,
gratitude, goals and more front and center on your digital giving
experience.

Child Abuse
Prevention: Steps for Keeping Children Safe
|
|
Did you know that the month of April is Child Abuse
Prevention Awareness Month?
As you begin planning your children’s Easter activities, Vacation
Bible Schools and Camps, now is the perfect time to review (or
create) your ministry Child Abuse Prevention training schedule. By
educating employees and volunteers properly on how to identify common
signs of abuse, you’re better prepared to prevent it from happening
in your own ministry.
Here are some
questions to get you started:
- Have
you completed a background check on every staff and volunteer
who interacts with children? When was the last time you
re-checked long-time volunteers?
- Do
you require Child Abuse Prevention Training for all staff and
volunteers to educate them of warning signs of abuse and
behaviors to watch for?
- When
did you last review your Volunteer Policy?

that trust in your ministry with our Child Safety Training course.

How to Spot a Predator
Read how one church challenged their congregation to become the
safest church for children in the region and taught their staff and
volunteers how to spot a predator.
