Churches Turn to The Calendar Planner from Reel Logix for Scheduling Needs
Beverly Hills, CA - October 10, 2006 -
Reel Logix Inc announced
today that more than 70% of their customers from the
Non-Profit sector
were churches. "We have actually been pleasantly surprised to find that
The Calendar Planner is being so well received by churches. We certainly
couldn't have predicted that the #1 scheduling calendar technology in
the film and entertainment industry would be so readily adopted by
religious organizations.
The 25% Non-Profit discount
is making our calendar software an attractive value for large
organizations needing multiple licenses or the small church with
a tight budget needing one or two", said Reel Logix CEO, Randy McGowan.
Churches are facing increasingly complex scheduling challenges as they
try to allocate spaces, resources and staff needed to manage an expanded
roster of ministry services, special events, classes or rehearsals. Many
continue to expand their offerings to well beyond the traditional Sunday
service and are relying heavily on part-time, volunteer helpers, like
Debbie Fisher from Green Acres Baptist Church in Tyler, Texas, to keep
things on track.
In any given week Fisher has over 50 recurring events including
classes, services, rehearsals and support groups to schedule. This
doesn't include some of the special events such as weddings, mission
or leisure trips or concerts. "We've been using
TCP for our yearly
planning calendar where I take all of our ministries events and
compile them onto one planning calendar. We've been looking for
a program to switch to and TCP fits the bill just right", says Fisher.
Increasingly, churches are turning to administrative or productivity
software like The Calendar Planner
to help them with their tasks and to share information with congregations.
As the number of churches using TCP continues to increase, Reel Logix
is looking to expand marketing in that sector by connecting with national
organizations such as the National Association of Church Business
Administrators (www.nacba.net).
With new updates scheduled for December 2006 and February 2007,
Reel Logix continues to rely on feedback from users such as Fisher,
to add features that will continue to enhance their productivity in
church scheduling.
