Changes for stability

This year was a year of change and creating stability all at the same time. The music program has successfully completed two seasons of worship, attempting to keep songs fresh by continuing to sing songs we know while introducing new ones in a timely and controlled manner. We also conducted a few special services this year for Easter and Christmas.

The changes began with welcoming all of the church's service teams to use Planning Center Online , the premier church management software to date.

We also rebranded as The Mill, including a new logo identity and website property at http://themill.church.

We have streamlined our announcement channels to include only the most timely updates, eliminating a lot of unnecessary noise from our church-wide communications as well as synced up announcement information between Sunday morning slides, Welcome Center slides, website events and weekly emails. We also implemented a handful of social-media ad campaigns to strategically expose our community to The Mill and events we are hosting.

We're looking forward to benefiting from the solid advancements made this past year in both our program and systems. Thanks for all the willingness to change. We believe the effort will pay dividends for years to come.
