The differences between ConnectionPower solutions and other "management" systems begin with the companies themselves. Church Management Systems were developed to "manage" resources not drive ministry processes and have been historically created by accountants, software programmers or businessmen. ConnectionPower has world class programmers on its three design teams but the programming part is easy. The soft skill sets of really understanding the life of a pastor and the systems issues that need to be addressed for church health and growth to occur, do not come easy. The CEO and key members of the ConnectionPower team are highly successful pastors that come out of the church growth movement and have spent the last 20+ years working with thousands of churches on ministry processes for visitor connection and member integration. For over two decades they have field tested and developed ministry processes and associated training materials that affect the bottom line of church growth and long term church health. Cutting edge church growth research, findings and "best practices" are seamlessly embedded within ConnectionPower solutions. ConnectionPower is also unique in that it regularly conducts large scale critical church growth research to stay abreast of effective ministry trends and realities and has three design teams constantly working on next generation solutions. This 20 year unparalleled ministry background and knowledge base, makes the claim that other management systems companies can do what ConnectionPower does, simply not the case. The capabilities of these essentially passive database management systems cannot be compared to the interactive ministry processes that ConnectionPower unleashes. We see others beginning to claim ministry process capabilities similar to ConnectionPower but their designers lack the basic perspective, experience and exhaustive knowledge base required to develop proven and effective ministry processes that generate church health and its first cousin, church growth.
ConnectionPower does the many common tasks of management systems but provides many "totally unique" advantages listed on the pages below. Given the pace of our three design teams, the many exciting upgrades in our design queues, our passion to serve the Kingdom and our unique approach to process-based design you can expect to see many more distinctive features that will continue to set ConnectionPower apart as the leader in the months and years ahead. We are committed to remain at the forefront of providing next generation solutions that empower healthy ministry and actually create church growth.
