<div>Sixteen years ago, our co-founders worked at a church in full-time ministry.<strong> </strong>Together they shared the overwhelming task of preparing for weekend worship services—scheduling volunteers, getting teams their sheet music and CDs before rehearsals, organizing the service plan, timing, and more. <br><br>When they couldn’t find another tool to help with their planning, they created their own—a product we now call Services.<strong>&nbsp; </strong>As the company grew, we learned from our customers about the needs of other ministries in the church. We realized there were other spaces in the church, besides the worship department, that could use software built just for them. In response, we expanded our vision, grew our team, created new products, and started becoming the full church management software company we are today.</div>
