Is your church involved in VBS? A youth trip? Camping? Purchasing Books for Sunday School classes? Consider form and registration development for your website.
Forms are easy interactive ways to enhance any website AND make life easier for people wanting to participate in a church activity. Your web designer should be able to accomplish this; , or contact VTG Enterprises www.vtgent.com , where I can definitely help you. Forms can be personalized to fit any need such as VBS registration. Check out my client, Paradise Missionary Baptist Church, who is currently registering children for VBS http://www.paradisembc-dallas.org/pages/youth.php (registration form shown on the left). St. James Episcopal Church in Midvale, UT (another client) uses a form to make their office aware of prayer requests: http://www.stjamesutah.com/pages/contact.php
If you are seeking to develop a registration, such as a camping trip for your youth group, where money transactions need to take place, Paypal is an excellent source to provide secure transactions. PayPal offers discounted transaction fees for registered charities. Fees are only applied when you accept a donation and you’re never charged a setup or monthly fee which is why I recommend them. Your non-profit will need to establish an account with Paypal . http://tiny.cc/rhCPE
Want congregants and other to be able to donate to a building project? Again, an online form, particularly one where the donation can be transacted makes giving easier.
Dr. Brian Kluth, best selling generosity author and church giving expert lists four things churches can do to increase giving. The first 3 are download his products but the 4th is: “offer electronic and online giving” (read the article— http://tinyurl.com/mat72c ).
