Welcome 2013 Annual Church Profile Training for Churches

King Solomon recognized the value of togetherness. In the book of Ecclesiastes, Chapter four, he wrote: Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: if one falls down, his friend can help him up. Though one be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

This is a “live” database. There is no SAVE button.

The SAVE actually occurs for each individual position or person change.

Status Buttons Each church position has its own status buttons. Inspect each position and make needed corrections. Each position can contain multiple listings. (For example, the church may have three secretaries and two associate pastors.) Always be sure you are on the correct position before you add, edit or remove data. A preferred titled may be substituted for standard SBC title.

Cautions  If the incorrect person is shown in a position 1.Click the Remove Person From Position button to remove previous person and enter a stop date. 2.Click the Add Person To Position button to add the current person  If you want to add another person with the same title as another Click the Add Person To Position button to add the new person. This will not remove the current person; it simply adds another instance for the same position.
