Dynamic and Effective Web Presence with Drupal

BackOffice Thinking wants your website to meet the specific needs of YOUR organization.

Fast, connected, and user friendly! Our solution provides a completely customized dynamic website that you can easily maintain.
 

Web Ministry Training

Growing churches generally have a few things in common.  They generally are missional based and have an effective way of engaging members, visitors, and the community.  Having an effective web ministry is an essential part of communicating the mission and engaging all constituents.  Unfortunately, most churches do not have an effective web ministry or even an engaging web site.

We train churches on how to have an effective web ministry.  We help them understand that a web ministry goes way beyond a web site and that the most effective ministries become part of all a church does.  We provide concrete advice, hands on tools and demystify how churches can effectively utilize multi media, social networking to quickly develop a vibrant web ministry  

CIVICRM the leading one online tool for:

communications, appointments, church and clergy profiles, registrations, online payment processing and much more

Are you using a myriad of tools (Access, Excel, ConstantContact, RaisersEdge, eTapestry) to manage your data and communication? if so, chances are your either paying too much and/or not operating as effectively as you can.
 

BackOffice Thinking provides the capabilities your organization needs in an integrated solution. No more updating contacts in multiple places, or difficulty knowing who your contributors are.
