Your Parishioners Want My Own Church
Good news: if you use ConnectNow Family Suite, you already have it!  
     
If your parish uses the ConnectNow Family Suite, you already have a My Own Church site! And it's time to get acquainted with this important parish life tool. Just look what your parishioners can do in My Own Church:   
  • Download their electronic contribution statement for the 2016 tax year
  • Check their envelope and online giving history, any time
  • Register any family member in any open class:  religious education, adult formation, VBS, Bible study, etc.
  • Submit updates to their family and contact information (which helps you have more accurate records)
  • Volunteer for ministries
  • Manage their own ministry volunteer availability and preferences
  • Browse the online parish directory to connect with other parishioners

Watch the on-demand video of our FREE My Own Church "How To" session and learn how to offer your parishioners convenient, secure, paperless access to all of these tools and more!
