E-Church Essentials empowers your ministry to...

1) Attract and connect people to your ministry through our powerful website builder and management system. Utilize our event calendar for communicating ministry-wide and department-specific events. In addition, our integrated Discussion Forums provide an outstanding platform for building relational community. Create a ministry newsletter blog that can broadcast text, pictures, MP3 audio (Podcast) and video through RSS feeds. Through the use of RSS news-readers, your membership can read your ministry's Newsletter directly off their computer, without navigating to your blog site.

Every online community member associated with your ministry can have their own FREE personal blog. This enables them to communicate about their ministry, share how God is working in them and through them, and network with others who have similar or supportive ministries. Personal blogs are an outstanding platform for evangelism in our postmodern, web-based culture.

2) Disciple, train, and equip people for ministry using E-Church Essentials' professional E-Learning platform. Today's adults prefer to learn online in a virtual classroom rather than in the four walls of a campus-based classroom. Now E-Learning is unleashed to the local church...and it's easy to use, customizable, and highly affordable!

3) Mobilize people into ministry service using our personal assessments (Personality / Spiritual Gifts / Leadership Style). Our online assessment center is designed specifically to help people (and their spiritual leadership) understand how God created them, and for what ministry purpose. Then our team building tools enable your ministry leadership to define ministry teams, define team member profiles, and search for ideal ministry candidates based upon those profiles.
