Administrate Small Groups, Ministries, and Classes

PDS is for churches that build community through Small Groups (or Sunday school classes).  It's for churches that believe in "every member ministry" where people are encouraged to serve in some ministry of the church.  PDS gives you the capability to track people's progress in classes designed to facilitate spiritual growth. 


Small Groups

  • Track every person’s history of small group involvement and their position within each group (member, host, apprentice, leader, coach, etc.)  

  • Detailed management of small groups:  location, meeting time, leadership structure (division leaders, coaches, leaders.), maturity level, gender type (men’s group, women’s group), study curriculum, openness to new members, etc.

  • Automatically generate lists of small groups open to new members to use for publicity.  All the group info comes straight out of the database ready for you to distribute via email or print!

  • Design and Track your whole process for getting people in groups and developing new ones.  PDS will keep a "waiting list" so your team can follow up and launch new groups as need demands.

  • Enter notes about each group for coaching/pastoral purposes.

  • Set membership involvement goals for small groups and ministries.  For example, the church goal is to have 80% of all members in a small group—compare it instantly to the actual percentage. 

  • Identify regular attenders and members that are not in a small group or serving in a ministry team and send them email or postal mail encouraging them to join a small group or ministry team.

Ministry Teams

  • Track every person’s history of involvement and their position within each ministry team (member, apprentice, helper, leader, etc.)

  • Detailed management of ministry teams:  location, meeting time, leadership & team members, skill requirements, description, etc.

  • Automatically generate a list of your church's ministries to use for publicity and recruitment.  All the info comes straight out of the database ready for you to distribute via email or print!

Classes

  • Track every person’s history of attendance at classes your church offers and their response to the class.  For example, if your church requires a membership class, you can track when a person signs up for the class, when they attend and whether they signed a membership commitment. 

  • Send reminders about upcoming classes to people that have signed up.  Or send follow up letters after they have attended.  Send custom follow up letters to those that committed and a different letter to those that didn't.  Sample letters are included for easy customization!

  • Use PDS to create your publicity to announce upcoming classes

  • Assign teachers to classes and maintain a course scheduling system.

  • Take weekly attendance at any class, ministry team or small group.
