Strengthen Communication
PDS Connects™ is the Web-based companion to PDS Church Office™, empowering your members and staff with the ability to manage their respective information online. This dynamic two-way communication tool ensures you have your members most up-to-date contact information and saves your staff data-entry time while increasing donations.
Key Features
Password-Protected Access
- All users must sign in with a username and password before they can view any data.
- The administrator creates the staff user accounts and sets up their passwords. Staff can then change their own passwords.
- When member users first register for PDS Connects, they must enter their first name, last name, suffix (if they have one) and email address as entered in PDS Church Office™. The member is then sent an email with their user
name and password.
- You may set up an unlimited number of user profiles to be used as permissions for various types of users, for example: ministry leaders and parishioners.
Communication and Connection
- PDS Connects opens the door for anyone in your organization with assigned permissions and security to access personal information, update their profile and view your church directory.
- Anyone with assigned permissions can access their profile information over the Internet anytime, anywhere.
- By empowering your members to update their contact information, you are ensured a more current and accurate contact database.
Integrates with PDS Church Office
- PDS Connects fully integrates with Church Office. The administrator, or anyone with permission, can review all of the changes made by members in PDS Connects from within Church Office. These changes can either be approved or rejected. All approved changes are committed to the data in Church Office, and then the data is uploaded to the Web. This ensures the data on the Web mirrors that in Church Office.
Security
- Keeping membership records that include personal information secure is an important responsibility. We understand you have placed your trust in us and we take this responsibility very seriously. The PDS Connects system is protected so that your information remains secure. Learn more
