Communication
"Arena has given us the ability to communicate more clearly and effectively with our congregation…and has made it a simple process to communicate to a specific group of people. This has resulted in our people being more informed and better connected.”

“Our Arena metrics are critical to us in planning, in understanding the make-up of our members, in knowing how and when to communicate with them.”

Accountability
“Arena has also enabled us to have incredible staff accountability for follow-up with the congregation. It has created a fly wheel effect when it comes to volunteer recruitment and placement.”

Small Groups
“Our Senior Pastor really was ‘cutting edge’ with his ideas about geographical small groups… so that people could even walk to their small groups if they wanted to. Arena has opened up a whole new level of opportunity for us in assigning and monitoring small group activity, size and assignment.”

The Community
“For a while now, I’ve realized that it would be more efficient if each church could pool its developer resources so that their work could contribute to serve the whole Church. With the creation of The Community within Arena, this dream will finally become a reality. With Arena, the business risks associated with utilizing a shared-source system are virtually gone.”

Volunteers
“Our expectation is that appropriate follow-up is made with a potential volunteer within an acceptable amount of time. Formerly, it was real challenge. With our Arena metric called ‘Critical Contacts,’ we now have automated reminders and warnings to let us know if anyone is reaching that critical timeframe of no follow-up. We’ve gone from 300 critical contact warnings per week to approximately eight per week.”

Connection
“Kyle and Ben just left from our training this week. They did a fantastic job and really helped our staff get a handle on what Arena is going to be able to do for us. I’m excited about the next couple of months as we make ministry management available for our members. This system holds the potential to have the second largest impact on our church’s ministry, next to discipleship.

After all, if discipleship is setting a life long example of service to Christ, Arena gives our people the tools they need to do just that in a practical way!”
