ChurchCMS News and Features

 
I would like to personally thank all of the people who have used ChurchCMS for their ministry or Church website. We truly appreciate the privilege of serving you and your ministry. Our prayer and hope is that ChurchCMS can in some way can continue to help you reach people with the message of the gospel. 

I would also like to thank all of the people who stopped by our booth at Youth Specialities in Nashville, TN.  I hope that the conference has encouraged, refreshed and energized your for 2006! The impact you will have on this generation cannot be measured or understated. Don't give up and keep up the great work you are doing!

I also wanted to take the time to tell you about ChurchCMS V2. Over the past year we have listened to all the requests and tried to accommodate all of them. This involved a total rewrite of ChurchCMS. Our goal is to help Churches reach people by leveraging the power of the Internet and related technologies.  The result of this effort is a brand new version of ChurchCMS that will offer you unparalleled ease of use and best of breed features! The improvements and enhancements are numerous and we have tried to mention a few of them below but you can request a live web demo and I would be happy to demonstrate the complete feature set of ChurchCMS V2.

In him,

ChurchCMS V2 New Features 

 
ChurchCMS has many new features. I thought I would take the time to highlight some of the biggest enhancements in the new version.

Browse And Edit Interface

The new version takes away the problem learning an admin application to maintain your site. With V2 you simply navigate to your site and right click and the editor appears. It cannot be any easier! Anyone in your organization can contribute content to your site in minutes. 

Level Manager

ChurchCMS allows you to create levels. Levels can be though of as ministries but levels can have an unlimited number of sub levels. Each level can have its own template and even sub-domain. So creating a website with the address youth.sunrisechristian.org is a snap with ChurchCMS.

Custom Form Builder

ChurchCMS allows you to build your own forms to collect information for any purpose. You can create an unlimited amount of forms and use them any where in your site. The results are sent to you via email and stored online. You run a report to see all of the data collected. ChurchCMS.com was built with ChurchCMS and we have several custom forms we use to collect information and it sent to us. The following link is a custom form built with ChurchCMS: Request a Demo
