ChurchSHAPE©

A Ministry Gifts, Values and Leadership Style Ministry Tool for Churches Implementing a Gifts-Driven Ministry

 

ChurchSHAPE Ministry Program© is the software program that is installed on the church computer and provides immediate sorting by any item in TheSHAPE©. It is a database that includes all the records of TheSHAPE©. Every church participant is encouraged to complete TheSHAPE©. Its purpose is to house all persons in a database that allows leaders to invite volunteers into various ministries through the church. The church must purchase the SelectSurvey ASP software.

Getting Started with ChurchSHAPE©

1. Contact Verlyn Bergen, MinistryConnect, 573.690.5562 for prices. They are very resonable and determined by church size.

2. A church web site with at least 20 megs of free space on the web site server. SelectSurveyASP runs on any Windows web server that supports Active Server Pages (ASP). To keep this as simple as possible, just ask your system administrator or ISP if you can run Active Server Pages on the web site. If the answer is yes, you can run this software.

3. Microsoft Office Professional (including Microsoft Access) (the version can either be 97-2003 or 2007) installed on the church computer that operates the ChurchSHAPE Ministry Program© software. The ChurchSHAPE Ministry Program© software is available for download from this site. The computer operating system can be Windows XP, Vista, or Window 7.

4. Microsoft Office Professional (including Microsoft Access) (the version can either be 97-2003 or 2007) installed on the computer that generates TheSHAPE Reports© . The software for generating TheSHAPE Reports© is available for download from this site. The computer operating system can be Windows XP, Vista, or Window 7.

5. Someone willing to generate TheSHAPE Reports© (these reports can be generated on a home computer) and someone to operate and maintain the ChurchSHAPE Ministry Program© on the church computer system. Both of these computers need to have Microsoft Office Professional (including Microsoft Access) (the version can either be 97-2003 or 2007) installed. The computer operating system can either be Windows XP, Vista, or Window 7.

6. A tech person willing to work with MinistryConnect in setting up the entire system.
