Church Resources to Help Navigate COVID-19

Here are a few resources to help your church navigate the COVID-19 resources.

Breeze Church Management

Digital giving apps and tools

At Breeze, our mission is -- and will always be -- to serve churches well.

We know churches around the world are facing tough decisions on how to best serve their attendees amidst the spread of the COVID-19 virus.

As your church works to navigate these challenges, we want to support you however we can. Below are a few resources we hope will be helpful to your church as you walk through these tough decisions.

 

Free Text Limit Increase within Breeze

For the months of March and April, all churches using Breeze will receive a free monthly text limit increase from 250 to 2,500. (This includes all messages sent between March 1 to April 30.) We pray this helps you more rapidly communicate with your church during this time, without worrying about unplanned expenses.


Templates for Communication

To help you communicate service plans with your congregation, we’ve drafted email and text message templates. Consider using them as a starting point and edit to best serve your church’s needs.

Email Template

Due to public health concerns, the church leadership team has made the decision to suspend on-site services starting Sunday, March 15th through the end of March. This decision is not made out of fear, but with wisdom, discernment, and mindfulness.
 
The safety of you and your loved ones during this time is important to us, and so in lieu of meeting in person, we will instead live stream services on our Facebook page. 
 
During this time of unrest, we will continue to reach out and share the power and love of Jesus, and are thankful to have you as part of our community. 
 
For specific prayer requests, please email xxxx. 
For inquiries about necessary church support services, please call xxxx 
To give online, please visit xxxx.
 
Thank you for your prayers, patience and perseverance. We will post future updates on our website and Facebook page.

"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." 2 Timothy 1:7


Text Message Template

Due to COVID-19, we are suspending on-site services starting Sunday, March 15th through the end of March. Visit our Facebook page for continued updates.


Voice Message Communication

If you’re looking for ways to communicate to your attendees beyond text and email, PastorsLine may be a great tool to consider. With PastorsLine you can record a voice message and send it out to all your church attendees. The message will play when the recipient answers the call or direct to their voicemail if they don’t pick up.

How to Live Stream Your Sermon

If you’re thinking through how to share a sermon with your church membership, you may want to consider live streaming to your church’s Facebook page. We hope the following resource will be helpful in walking you through live streaming for the first time.

Livebar

Our Breeze team created Livebar as a free, easy-to-install banner for your church website, helping your members know where to go for streaming weekend services. It's fully customizable, counts down to your next service time, and links directly to your live stream.

Giving 

We know many churches rely on their attendee’s giving in order to operate. If your church needs to temporarily suspend in-person services, and are discussing setting up online giving, here are several excellent options to consider.

Discover how our Groups tool can help you organize and manage one-on-one meetings effectively.

All of our database needs have been more than met, it's easier to use than the last database we had, and the price is amazing - what a value this has been to our church! All of our staff can use this software and they do regularly. We use it to track…literally anything a church could possibly need to track regarding it's attenders.

Breeze has been a great asset to our church and congregation. Especially from an administrative standpoint, it has been the most adaptable and easiest church database I have ever used. The features from blast emails to giving on-line, and texting have been one of our greatest assets. Thank you!

We switched from a major, web-based ChMS to Breeze and our decision is confirmed every day. We are a medium size church and we use Breeze for contributions, member management, event checkin and a few other applications custom to our church. I had trouble getting any staff to use our previous ChMS but almost all staff are using Breeze. The product is very well designed, extremely easy to learn and use and customer service is incredible.

Breeze has opened the communication highway for our congregation and staff, with very little training. Because members can update their own records and search easily for other members - and map their locations, send emails and text right from Breeze, they love it and our data is more real-time accurate. Our ministries are stronger, because they can trust the data in Breeze, which is easily accessed anywhere, anytime.

Breeze is the first ChMS my volunteers have actually embraced. That's because it's so easy to use. The software is very flexible and gives us the opportunity to make decisions based on actual data we've collected and not just hunches or stories we believe to be true.

I cannot say enough about Breeze. Their customer service is so friendly, you feel like you have friends and family helping you get started, they're prompt to reply and will do whatever they can to help you get things sorted out. It's been so easy to learn, our staff is loving it and best of all even our staff who are not computer savvy find it a breeze (pun intended). We are just thrilled by our choice.

From the start of our process looking for an online solution, Breeze has exceeded all our expectations. Fast data import, fast and friendly customer support, and we can’t say enough about how much we like the program itself. Very well designed and user friendly. On a scale of 1-10, Breeze gets a 15 from us!
