It's Time to Get Ready for Vacation Bible School (VBS)

It may be February (I'm looking out the window at snow!), but it's time for churches to begin to plan for their Vacation Bible School or Camp. Many churches will soon begin early registration, and we have several tools in our church management software that work with your VBS planning and management. From tracking payments and registration, to group text notifications, child check-in, and more, our tools can help keep you on task because you know these months go fast.

So check out all the details at our post, "VBS: Plan, Communicate, Promote and Organize with Our Software"

New Feature: Pledge Tracking

Record and automatically track giving pledges with our latest upgrade. Pledges for your church's special fund or ministry work can be weekly, monthly, yearly, and even per designation. A church may have a weekly pledge for tithes, but also a yearly pledge for a building fund.

Quickly run reports to see total pledges per year and designation, and also see how your church members are doing with their individual pledges.

You will find this latest upgrade in the Giving (Online and Other) section.

Testimonial: Zane Officer

Today we offer a Testimonial review from one of our customers, Zane Officer, Pastor at Libby Baptist Church in Libby, Montana.

"We are a smaller, rural church with a full-time senior pastor and a part-time administrative assistant. I initially came across Online Church Solutions when looking to add podcasting to our existing website. Several things stuck out about OCS. Mark and Alisha have a background in church planting and church ministry. They know what tools churches need and are constantly rolling out both new tools and revamping existing tools. The user-friendliness of their tools is fantastic and the results are way better than that DIY home project you tried last summer. The price point of OCS is unmatched. Every church faces the juggling act of 'what we need' versus 'what we can afford'. OCS provides a wealth of church management tools at a price that any church can afford. In a digital age, you want the people behind your church management tools to be people who deeply care for and believe in the ministries of the churches they serve. Mark and Alisha at OCS are those people."
