Constant Contact: Engage and Connect with your community beyond the weekend 

• Thursday, July 21st @ 2pm (EST)
• As you know, ministry is more than a weekend event. From engaging the community, to children’s programming, to volunteer opportunities, there are many reasons to communicate and engage with your ministry members and the community at large. How do you stay top of mind and send the right message to the right group to get the best response? In this webinar we will discuss how segments, story and simplicity can make the best impact in your ministry as you impact your community

In our ongoing attempts to connect with and change lives, gathering data is important. For example, collecting blood type seems intrusive, but if you had a local blood bank that needed specific donors, you could use that to contact individuals in your congregations who meet a need in your community.

Share a time in your ministry, where you could see the change that gathering data in your church database has made.

Hello everyone!

Thank you to those that were in our live audience for our two Ministry Impact Webinars titled Ministry and Mental Health (Part 1 and 2). We had amazing crowd participation, sharing encouragement and asking great questions. If you were not able to attend, the recordings are live inside of MinistrySmart Academy. We've had a number of you say that you will be sharing the recording links with your team members that may have missed the live event. That has been very encouraging for @Scott Fischer and I to hear.

Our hope is to bring more subject matter experts into our live webinars in the future. I extend request that if you have a pastor or someone on staff that either has a word to share with other ministries or may have some amazing successes while using Realm, we'd love the opportunity to talk with them about possibly helping us lead upcoming live webinars.

Thank you again for those that attended and those of you that will watch our recordings. To find them in MinistrySmart Academy, please follow the "Upcoming Live Events" icon on the right side of this page. You can then search mental health in the search box to find both part 1 and part 2 of those sessions.

We pray that you and your ministry teams have a blessed weekend and that your services are spirit filled.

We've gained a ton of new members in the MinistrySmart Community in 2022 so far! We'd love it if you took a moment and created a post to introduce yourself in Introduce Yourself!

Welcome everyone!! We are excited to see this community grow even more this year and for you all to have even more ministry partners to network and collaborate with.
