Churches rely on the good graces of their congregations to get the bills paid. Because contribution amounts vary so much, churches must keep an eye on the budget and on the needs of their communities. Having the right equipment in place can free up church staff to take on more important projects and activities. This article describes five pieces of equipment that can help you use your church resources wisely.
Color coil binding machine
Investing in the right machinery can mean fundraising dollars for your church and its community programs and ministry. One popular piece of equipment for churches is a color coil binding machine. This machine binds documents using simple and affordable equipment. This machine is the perfect choice for membership directories, custom hymnals, and prayer and meditation journals. In addition to these uses, you can also bind publications to sell for profit. Items such as cookbooks, youth group scrapbooks, and coupon books are popular choices.
Paper cutter
Churches tend to pass out a lot of paper as part of their outreach programs and general ministry management. Do not waste time and energy cutting large volumes of paper by hand. If you have notices, prayer request slips, and the like, you can cut them quickly and cleanly using a high-quality paper cutter.
Combination Electric Stapler and 3 Hole Punch
Don't waste time on monotonous tasks like hole punching and stapling. Not only might you subject staff to a range of injuries associated with repetitive movements by hand stapling and hole punching, but you will also waste the time of your staff and volunteers-time that would be better spent interacting with people about the ministry.
Paper Shredder
A church is a safe haven for many people to share their worries and problems. It is also a center of financial activity. No one wants to be the victim of a church's lack of vigilance in protecting their personal information of any kind. You have a responsibility to those you support as well as those who support you. Having a shredder on hand keeps unnecessary information away from prying eyes.
Paper Folding Machine
Churches have a lot of information to disseminate to parishioners. Oftentimes this communication comes in the form of the weekly church bulletin or newsletter. Depending on the size of your organization, folding bulletins can take a few hours to a day or more. This work is tedious and very hard on hands. A quality paper folder can do the job for you more quickly and neatly and allow you to focus on your ministry.
Some churches mistakenly believe the power to produce professional looking documents rests solely in the hands of professional printers, but that is simply not true. The only thing keeping you from publishing like a pro is the right tools. You can purchase the timesaving tools discussed here in a variety of styles and price points, ensuring the right one for your church is out there. With the time you save, you can focus on reaching out in faith to your community.
