Churches use Cathedral Corporation's Contribution Recording and Reporting Service
as a tool to better manage limited resources. Benefits include improved reporting
accuracy as well as fewer paid labor hours. The savings that arise from outsourcing
this work to Cathedral can be directed towards programs for aiding the needy,
repairing a leaky roof, paying utility bills, or ministry efforts. We can also
mail statements to individual members, as well as provide your church with
presentation-quality reports at no extra charge!
How It Works
Your Church removes offerings from their envelopes and verifies that the amount
contained is clearly noted on the envelope face. Offerings not placed in envelopes
are simply noted on furnished credit slips. The empty envelopes and credit slips
are then packaged in return-addressed cartons (which we supply), and shipped to
our offices once or twice per month - depending on volume. Our data-entry professionals
then carefully, accurately and confidentially enter the figures and prepare the data
for the next step.
Free Reports
Your Church receives accurate, timely and up-to-date reports. The data can be
supplied to you on diskette or reported in smartly organized, bound,
presentation-quality booklets. Best of all, Cathedral will ship you the reports
up to four times per year at no extra cost.
Confidential Member Statements
Your members can receive accurate and timely individual contribution statements
on yearly, semi-annual or quarterly terms. We can either mail the statements
directly and confidentially to each member, or we'll ship the statements directly
to your church for distribution.
Nothing to Change
It makes no difference whether your church uses specialized accounting software,
or if you even own a computer. To get started simply supply us with a master
contributor and/or mailing list. We can return the data to you in virtually any
format so that it will conform to your current system.
Peace of Mind
Cathedral Corporation has entered millions of contributions and printed
thousands of presentation-quality reports over a span of twenty plus years.
We take the tedious, mundane and error-prone work away from you so you can
focus on doing God's work. Member list updates are free too. Just send us any
adjustments by mail, e-mail, diskette, or call us and the changes will be
reflected in subsequent reports. All you pay is a small "per envelope"
(not per member) recording charge. If any member misses an opportunity to give,
you don't get charged.
