Check Your Church’s Office Phone System Once in a While

Every once and a while you need to call yourself … meaning, the church office’s phone system … just to see if everything is accurate and up to date.

This morning I called our church office before office hours to let someone know I’d be in late because of a morning coffee meeting.

What I heard impressed me … our message was great and I must say I was surprised. (Hey, and I didn’t have anything to do with it!)

Here’s what I heard …

  • Pleasant and sweet voice who spoke slow enough to write everything down
  • Sunday worship times with details on the different services (Contemporary, Traditional)
  • Sunday School small group times
  • Emergency contact information (I love it because she also said, “In a moment, I’ll give you that number.” So the hearers have time to grab a piece of paper.)
  • Our separate numbers for our recreation center, preschool and food pantry/careline.

    Here’s one more point that would be great to hear slowly and clearly: your church’s Web address. Having your URL on your church’s outgoing message is especially helpful for after-hours callers who might need some basic information right away.
