Pastoral Ministry Admin Database

Do you need an application to streamline the administration of Sozos or Pastoral Ministry appointments and ensure compliance with GDPR ?

We provide a flexible database for administration of appointment based ministries such as Bethel Sozo, Restoring the Foundations, Pastoral sessions,  Counselling etc … Almost all emails are written for you and link with calendars. Data is encrypted and secure and includes flexible removal of old information. At a glance you can see all upcoming appointments and their ‘status’, or all appointments a guest or a team member has had. It supports importing applications or appointment feedback from guests or importing of training or logs of pastoral appointments by your team. It provides reports and statistics eg. of average feedback scores…

…… and essentially saves you a lot of time!

Since using the data base life has become so much easier. Placing client information from google forms to the data base happens at the click of a button - wonderful! Information is easy to find and clear to see who has appointments and who is waiting. Communication to the clients has been streamlined by having emails prepared and ready to send at the click of a button. The whole data base is easy to use and has saved so much time. I highly recommend it.

I have found the database invaluable in the day to day running of our busy counselling and Christian ministry centre. Judith took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and made sure that she supplied the best product for our needs. Having the database has greatly reduced the admin time spent allocating and booking appointments and storing sensitive data in a secure and GDPR compliant location. We were given very thorough training and resources to ensure we understood all aspects of the database and Judith has always been responsive and helpful whenever we have needed support. Thank-you Data Artisan for supplying a tool that has enabled us to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of our service.
