April 19th, 2008 Categories: Technology for Pastors
Many of you still fumble around with email addresses that aren’t properly branding your church, or don’t function very well. Most of the email programs that are built in to your hosting account simply can’t deliver, often taking hours to send new mail to your inbox or worse, never delivering it at all. Well, I’ve got great news. Gmail now offers the opportunity for you utilize the world-class Gmail features on your own domain. Click here for more info, and in the mean time try to wrap your mind around these cool features of Gmail that will help your church get organized:
1) Automatic Organization of Your Inbox: You’ll never have to spend a moment searching through your old messages ever again. Now, with the power of Gmail, you’ll be able to instantly find what you’re looking for. Gmail organizes your emails in a super-intuitive way that’s sort of like a filing cabinet, so you always know where your email is.
2) Chat with your Lay Leaders: You can assign new Gmail accounts to everybody in your church if you like. For instance, my address is Jon@mychurch.com, and your address could be you@yourchurch.com. Once you have email addresses for everybody on your staff and key church leaders, Gmail will allow you to chat with them whenever they are online without downloading anything. Convenience is a beautiful thing.
3) Google Docs: It’s like Microsoft Word, except way, way better. Create a document and share it immediately with key church leaders without having to email anything. It takes a little getting used to, but you’ll be sharing documents in no time. The kiddies will love it.
Best of all, the entire glob of Gmail goodness can be yours for the low, low price of absolutely nothing. That’s right. It’s free for nonprofit organizations. God bless Gmail.
