Leading a congregation is a demanding call, which is why God provides His Church with a variety of people with differing abilities and gifts, as Paul reminds us in Ephesians.
“So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up” (Eph 4:11-12)
Large city churches often have more people in the congregation to look after and with this, the ability to take on paid staff and administrators; this in itself brings its own challenges in being able to care for each person effectively, which is where iKnow’s church management software can really help. However, iKnow’s software isn’t just for these ‘mega-churches’ but is being used by churches of all sizes including new church plants.
We have developed our software with various churches in mind, and more often than not, it is the smaller local churches that have a greater need for a system.
As society continues to shift and communities become gradually more dispersed, leaders who are in full-time secular work, whilst juggling their duties to the church is becoming a more frequent occurrence. iKnow’s church management software was designed as a cloud-based tool to help relieve these burdens and to allow the church to function better together, from anywhere - because the body does not consist of only one member!
With iKnow’s cloud-based system it is easy for church leaders and members to stay connected throughout the week, wherever they are, and for leaders responsibilities to be delegated, easing the pressures off of one person and allowing each person to fulfill their particular gifting.
Being cloud-based means that the right people can have access to iKnow wherever they are, so if you want to upload your sermons via the media module, this could be done easily at home by the best person for that job within the church, whilst the treasurer can keep a check on any campaigns the church is running via the finance module at a time that suits them, team leaders can easily update and create rota’s for their team, and so much more.
iKnow is also accessible to church members, allowing them to easily check their rota’s, have conversations with their homegroup throughout their day and keep in touch with the church during the week.
Working together like this helps unite the body together, as each person has a role to play within the church, and the responsibilities that are often being put upon one person can be delegated easily to the people best fit for the job, whilst feeding in together to one place, rather than having many various systems that can only be accessed from one place by one specific person.
Our pricing is also structured in a way so that both smaller local churches and larger city congregations are able to benefit from iKnow’s system, all modules are included in iKnow's pricing, which is defined by how many church members you have on the system, whilst allowing you additional missional and corporate contacts for free, allowing everyone the same benefits.
