Communications Management System
for Mega-Churches

If you've worked in church communications for any length of time, you already know this truth -- getting content for the web site is usually much harder than getting content on the web site.

At Main Street we realize that more web site failures are caused by poor communications processes, than by poor content management systems. Rather than continuing to add more bells and whistles to our web content management system, we have focused on developing new tools and processes that will make your total communications process more effective, not just the web site.

The result is the new 7.0 version of our mega-church internet tools. Main Street's new CMS 7 is a Communications Management System, not just a content management system. Main Street CMS 7 addresses planning and coordinating as well as the delivery of information. Our set of modular tools and processes are designed specifically to address the unique needs of mega-churches - including multiple ministries, multiple services, multiple locations.

challenge

Without a plan, your communications efforts appear uncoordinated and random. There is no economy of scale or consistency. Multiple competing priorities make it hard to do anything with quality.

plan

Good planning makes all your efforts more effective. It provides direction, helps prioritize resources, and helps you focus on the most important tasks.

The planning tools in CMS 7 help walk you through the planning process, documenting the decisions needed for effective communications.

challenge

Trying to coordinate and track the hundreds of pieces involved in weekly church communications can be maddening. Deadlines are missed, and everything has to be done at the last minute.

coordinate

A good scheduling and task tracking system helps prevent tasks from "getting dropped" and missed deadlines. Everyone knows exactly what they need to do and when. Master schedules show you what you still need to assign. Blood pressure goes down, quality goes up.

CMS 7 provides scheduling and task tracking tools which cover all your publications and promotion, not just the web site.

challenge

It doesn't matter how good your materials are if your members and visitors don't get them - or worse, get them too late. Your messages need to be repeated multiple times, in different media, to reach everyone.

deliver

Mega-churches need to deliver communications through multiple channels simultaneously: print, web, email and verbal.

Some people will best be reached by print, while others will only use the web site. Email effectively reaches one group, but visitors often require outside advertising.

An integrated delivery system assists in re-purposing content from different places. Quickly pull articles from the web site for print announcements, or link email content to the web.

CMS 7 modules are integrated to share content between the public web site, the members site, email systems and print templates.
