"Simple's giving automations and custom reporting were like hiring a part-time employee on the church's staff team."

Who they are

A friendly church that wants you to feel connected and encourages engagement within their community.

Who they serve

A dynamic demographic of believers from all over St Louis and worldwide online.

Summary

Church on the Rock had mulitple different databases that didn't communicate together. They needed a giving partner that works seamlessly with RockRMS.

Problem

The church staff was busy doing manual time-intensive paperwork and processes that took them away from building relationships with their church body.

Their previous self-hosted onling giving systems would require various APIs and direct bank connections that didn't integrate with RockRMS.

Solution

Implementing Simple as the church's giving provider enabled a direct and instant connection to their management database, RockRMS. This deep integration allowed Simple to provide custom reporting and automations to free up the staff to refocus on the purpose of the church, building relationships with people to grow in their walk with Jesus Christ.

Donors didn't really even know there was a change, which removed the fear of losing existing givers as they transition to a new system.

Outcomes

Partnering with Simple enabled them to save days worth of work manually entering gifts, reporting, and matching gifts to people in their database system.

“It's more than just having a processor, it is like having a partner with a software company. It helped us ease into the transition rather than being worried.”
