August 01, 2018

Testimonial: Jim Drake

Today we offer a Testimonial review from one of our customers, Pastor Jim Drake at Parkview Baptist Church in Bluefield, Virginia.

"As a small church single-staff pastor, I don’t have a lot of time or dedicated resources to develop and maintain an inviting, professional-looking website. That’s one of the reasons I love Online Church Solutions. Mark and his team have made things so affordable and easy that even the smallest churches can have a beautiful, functional website. Not only that, the Church Management Software, multiple email accounts, sermon podcasting, child check-in and all the other features provide thousands of dollars’ worth of capability for a price that almost any church or church plant can afford. Seminary didn’t train me to build and maintain a website, but Mark is always there when I need him. Online Church Solutions has the best combination of features, usability, pricing, and customer service I could hope for. I enthusiastically recommend them!"
