Church Community Builder (CCB) Makes Church Events Easily Accessible Through Improved Online Calendar Tools, October 2008

Colorado Springs, CO, October 9, 2008 — In today’s fast-paced, technology-driven world, church leaders continue to search for ways to connect with their congregation members outside of the four walls of the sanctuary and to make it easier and more convenient to learn about upcoming church functions. One of the most vital tools for church leaders as they strive to increase convenience for their members is an online church calendar. Church Community Builder (CCB), the original web-based church management solution, has recently announced improvements to its powerful calendar tools that make this process more seamless and intuitive for users of its innovative church management solutions.

“Calendaring has always been a hallmark feature for us” says Steve Caton, VP of Sales and Marketing for CCB. “However, we are always listening to feedback we receive from our customers about how we can improve and enhance that key aspect of our solution. Thanks to this feedback, users of CCB 2.0 can now quickly and easily toggle between multiple calendar views, including ‘My Groups,’ ‘Church Wide,’ ‘My Registrations,’ and for administrators, an ‘All Events Admin’ view.”

“Additionally, when managing your calendar, navigating to different dates has been consolidated and more flexibility has been added,” states Caton. “On a single screen, you can now quickly jump to a specific day, month or year, move forward or backward one month, go to today, and switch between month, day, or list views. You are also able to enter the calendar from different locations within the CCB application depending on the context of what you are doing or working on at the time.”

Finally, CCB has made it easier and more efficient for calendar administrators to create multiple new events at one time.

“In the past, administrators would have to navigate back to the main calendar view each time they wanted to create a new event,” says Caton. “Now, they have the option to ‘Add Event’ from any Event Details page, eliminating the need to navigate back to the main calendar to create the next event. The ability to request and reserve facilities and equipment is seamlessly integrated with this process as well. At the end of the day, Calendaring is one of the most frequently used benefits of our solution so we wanted to make it incredibly powerful and delightful to use.”
