Avoid Ministry Burnout: How Breeze ChMS Saves One Day of Work Each Week

Have you ever felt like you were juggling chainsaws while riding a unicycle? And between managing budgets, scheduling volunteers, and responding to a constant stream of emails, are you often overwhelmed and exhausted?

It feels like there’s never enough time in the week to finish all the admin work of running a church. What if you had just one more day each week to finally get it all done? Or, better yet, what if there was a solution that could automate many of those manual tasks and save you an entire day of work?

Breeze ChMS is a church management software (ChMS) that can help you, church administrator, save a significant amount of time by automating tasks that were previously cumbersome and time-consuming.

The Overwhelming Reality

The church admin is the glue that holds it all together. Each day requires a range of skills that may include balancing the budget, volunteer coordination, communication with members and guests, facility management, and a seemingly endless stream of emails, phone calls, and records to update.

With all this work to do, and in many churches only one person to do it all, eventually it takes a toll. The emotional impact of constant busyness can lead to unhealthy stress, feelings of inadequacy, and even ministry burnout.

Free Move-in Services

Transferring your data to a new system can be a hassle. That's why we'll do it for you at no extra charge when you sign up. Prefer to do it yourself? Breeze Church Management™ makes it easy to import your current data; whether you are using another church management tool or simply a handful of Excel files, you can bulk import your data to be up and running in moments.

Drag-and-drop email editor

Elevate your email game with Breeze's innovative Drag-and-Drop Email Editor, making customized communication a seamless experience! Choose from pre-existing templates or craft your own from scratch! Also, you can make your emails personal by mail merging in information automatically, like the person’s name and/or contact information.

Follow-Ups

It’s Monday morning and you’re still feeling great after an uplifting church service on Sunday. Today is the day for follow-ups, and what a mountain of paper sign-ups, first-time visitor cards, and new families to enter into the system. When you use Breeze to automate follow-up, and even to allow families and guests to enter their information directly into the database, you’ll save hours each week!

Now that they’re in the system, how will you keep track of which class their kids need to be in, or who is interested in singing in the choir or playing in the band? That’s where tags come in.

Tags

Tags allow you to organize your congregants and make it almost effortless to communicate with specific groups of people. Need to email the business leaders prayer group to send an urgent prayer request? Tags let you quickly identify these leaders and send an email as quickly as you can write it.

Tags can also be used for member care. Chances are you have church members who are battling a long-term illness, are home-bound, or are living in a nursing home. Instead of relying on a spreadsheet, or the piece of notebook paper that the pastor carries in his coat pocket, you can keep track of your members and automate communications to check in on them allowing you to better care for them on their journey.

What else do tags help with? Managing volunteers.

Volunteer Management

While tags will help you identify and organize the people in your database, the Breeze ChMS volunteer management system gives you the ability to schedule and coordinate your volunteers. With the ability to automate follow-up, send reminders, and keep track of volunteers, you’ll save time and have extra opportunity to care for your volunteers.

Check In Children and Manage Events

Having an easy-to-use children’s check-in system is key to creating a safe environment for kids to hear the Gospel. With Breeze ChMS, you can check in children and track attendance, print name tags for kids and parents, and also schedule or invite background-checked volunteers to serve with the children’s ministry as well as other events.

Event management goes beyond kids and students. It allows you to organize your events in one place to see what happens, when it happens, and in what locations. You’ll even get notified if two events are in the same place at the same time. How helpful is that?!

Email and Download Service Plans

Gone are the days of printing multiple copies of the Sunday Service Plan. Once you organize the plan, you can simply email to everyone in the church who needs to have it saving time, paper, and printer ink. Then, if anything changes during the week, all you have to do is update the plan and resend the email. Just like, so much more time and effort that you can use to invest in the people in your church and community.
