Champion Forest Baptist Church

Simple sounded too good to be true.

Who they are

Who they serve

More than 8,000 through weekly services, Life Groups, local and international missions

Summary

The best decision Champion Forest Baptist Church was to move their church management systems over to RockRMS. Simple relieved stress from the accounting department and saved hours each week when batching reports and setting up registration events.

Problem

When Executive Pastor Chris Todd met the team from Simple at a Rock RMS conference, he was drawn by the air of authenticity, but he heard big promises that sounded too good to be true

You won't find a vendor who wants to air their dirty laundry, so you find yourself waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Solution

Assured that Simple works, and works clean, Champion Forest engaged Simple for their event registration payments

Starting with a phone call on a Tuesday, they started taking payments by Wednesday at 4pm. With Simple's streamlined process, they became so confident with Rock as their Event Registration platform, they moved everything in. Simple made tweaks to increase efficiency even more.

Outcomes

Todd feels that their relationship with Simple is more of a partnership rather than vendor, and access to development and decision makers is a huge plus. "The proactive notion of Simple has helped us in ways that we didn't even know we needed and it created another level of efficiency." he says. "Simple under promises and over delivers... The guys have always delivered what they promised, they've been very willing to work with us and the system's reliable and easy."
