Can we use it even if we don't have much time or money to implement this program?

Our goal is to have local business support the effort, like it supports the existing bulletin. Because the program serves people more fully, we believe it will actually increase church revenue.

Would we need to turn over control of our bulletin to an outside party?

Each church keeps full control and online tools make it happen with the least amount of effort possible. Quickly manage your own content and prepare the bulletin for distribution. Online content submission tools makes data collection a snap. The church admin area is truly powerful.

Wll it empower our ministries and promote community?

Yes! Your church will empower ministries with all the tools available for ministries and events. So, ministries will get a great deal of technological and promotional support.

Yes! In fact, the Living Bulletin makes the parish directory compelling to participate in. Members will post their skills and interests to uncover economic and leisure opportunities. Online tools make it easy for members to thoroughly complete their profile.

Is there a way to add a design to content?

Yes! Each piece of content enjoys online design tools. Authors select from our house library or create their own design. Once created, the author can automatically assign the same design each time.

Do churches have the option to let members post content?

Yes! By inviting participation, your bulletin will be more widely read. When people participate in the creation, they are more likely to read it.
