The year 2020 changed a lot of things, from our social lives, to how we conduct business, our children’s learning environment, and even how we work. The church has also adapted to this drastically changed society as a result of the pandemic. Specifically, in person services and fellowship of the saints have been greatly impacted by the need to quarantine and social distance as well.
In these challenging times it’s especially imperative that we continue to connect and encourage each other as the people of God. In an effort to ensure we have accurate and updated information on all members (and we start maintaining digital files) we began using a church software called Servant Keeper last spring. This application allows members to access a ‘member portal’ and update all information on file and also access to the member directory. All existing information was entered into Servant Keeper, so if you are a member you can update and access your information. Members will be able to view contributions, update photos and family information, set preferences related to information you would like or not like to be shared, identify groups you serve in and groups you’d like to volunteer for, and many other items. For detailed instructions on how to access the Member Portal please follow the steps below.
