What makes the Ministry Database
better than the others?
- It was designed by church ministry workers and battle tested in real parishes.
- Unlike many programs which give you 5, 10 or even 20 extra fields for you to store custom data, the Ministry Database gives you unlimited ability to add extra fields, organize them on extra tabs, and set up the program to meet not only your needs, but the needs of your whole parish staff.
- Most programs help you store information, but the Ministry Database helps you get it back out faster and easier than anything else out there. While we have a great custom report designer, all of the reports you need are easily accessible from the One Touch Reports button and you don't need to learn any complex query language.
- The Quick Search bar lets you type a full or partial name, grade or phone number and instantly see a list of matching results.
- One Touch Reports let you easily print class lists, mail labels, photo directories and more for the records that you are looking at in the program.
- Groups, classes and activities are easily organized in a visual manner so you can get results back quickly, no tricky codes or remembering keywords.
- With Easy Navigation Links you can easily jump from a list of names in a group or family to the record of the member simply by double clicking on their name in the list.
- The program is multi-user ready right out of the box and that means that each staff member in your church can access and share their information. And with the built-in User Security Center you can insure that staff members only see the parts of the data that they are supposed to see.
