Maintaining efficient operations and deep connections with members is crucial in the dynamic environment of church communities. This is where TouchPoint Software’s Process Builder becomes indispensable. Here’s why Process Builder is a game-changer for churches:
1. Automated Workflows for Seamless Operations
Process Builder enables churches to create automated workflows, ensuring that essential tasks are performed consistently and efficiently. This automation reduces the administrative burden on staff and volunteers, freeing them to focus on more meaningful interactions with the congregation.
2. Consistent Member Follow-Up
With Process Builder, churches can establish a reliable follow-up system for members. Whether it’s welcoming newcomers, following up with absent members, or reaching out to those who haven’t engaged recently, Process Builder ensures no one is overlooked. This consistency strengthens relationships and fosters a sense of belonging among members.
3. Enhanced Engagement Strategies
By integrating with Search Builder, Process Builder can trigger actions based on specific member behaviors or changes in engagement scores. For instance, if a member’s engagement score drops, Process Builder can automatically schedule a call or send a personalized email, encouraging re-engagement. This proactive approach helps maintain high levels of involvement and connection within the church community.
4. Streamlined Communication
Effective communication is vital for any church. Process Builder can automate transmitting important information, such as event invitations, newsletters, and updates. This ensures that all members receive timely and relevant communications, keeping everyone informed and engaged.
5. Personalized Member Care
Process Builder allows churches to provide personalized care to their members. By setting up workflows that cater to individual needs and preferences, churches can offer a more personalized experience. For example, parents of children in Sunday school can receive tailored updates and invitations to family-focused events, enhancing their engagement and satisfaction.
6. Efficiency in Volunteer Management
Managing volunteers can be challenging, but Process Builder simplifies this task by automating the scheduling, communication, and follow-up processes. This ensures that volunteers are well-coordinated, informed, and appreciated, leading to a more effective and motivated volunteer force.
7. Data-Driven Decisions
By automating the tracking and reporting of member engagement and interactions, Process Builder provides valuable insights into the health of the church community. Church leaders can use this data to make informed decisions, identify areas for improvement, and develop targeted strategies to enhance engagement and growth.

At TouchPoint Software, we desire to foster meaningful connections within church communities through advanced technology solutions. Our focus is on creating tools that not only manage church operations effectively but also strengthen the bonds within your church family.
Enhance Engagement with TouchPoint Giving
A key feature of our church management system is TouchPoint Giving, designed to equip church staff and lay leaders with meaningful information. With features that allow church leaders to see donation trends and identify decreases in giving, TouchPoint Giving is essential for identifying if churchgoers are beginning to disengage. Changes in giving are oftentimes an indicator of underlying challenges. We have created tools to identify when important conversations are needed.
Preventing Disengagement
Our system ensures that no member of your community falls through the cracks. The Decreased Giving report is specific for our church partners using TouchPoint Giving and allows you to identify those whose donations have decreased within a specified period of time. Leaders can quickly identify members who might be facing challenges. These people may need support the most from their church family.
Seamless Integration Across Platforms
As highlighted in our recent webinar, our system provides seamless updates across your church database, website, and mobile app. This integration ensures that all parts of your church’s digital presence are synchronized, enhancing the overall user experience and giving a detailed picture of community and individual engagement.
Join Us in Our Mission
We are committed to partnering in your church’s mission by providing tools that encourage meaningful interactions and aid in spiritual and community growth for God’s Kingdom.

In today’s digital age, church management has transcended traditional boundaries, evolving into a sophisticated discipline that demands both efficiency and technological integration. TouchPoint Software stands at the forefront of this revolution, offering an advanced church management system (ChMS) that not only enhances operational efficiency but also deepens engagement within church communities.
Secure Giving Solution
TouchPoint Software distinguishes itself by offering native giving technology. This ensures uninterrupted donations, mirroring the reliability you expect from your banking transactions.
Never Miss A Recurring Gift Again
Whether due to card expiration, loss, or theft, TouchPoint’s automatic credit card updater feature seamlessly maintains current payment methods, safeguarding against any disruptions in giving.
What Does This Mean?
TouchPoint Software simplifies the donation process, significantly reducing friction and increasing the likelihood of successful transactions. On average, there are 3-5% of cards per month that need attention. This is crucial for maintaining stable and consistent donations, which are the backbone of any church’s operations and community initiatives. With TouchPoint, your church can focus more on its mission and less on administrative hassles.
Additional Benefits of TouchPoint Giving
But TouchPoint’s benefits don’t end with financial transactions. The system also allows churchgoers to review their giving history, pledges, and statements directly through the app, empowering them with transparency and control over their contributions.
Join the growing number of partner churches that are already experiencing the benefits of the most advanced ChMS available. Schedule a demo today at TouchPoint Software and discover how we can elevate your church’s management and donation processes to new heights.
