ServiceU Client Quotes — Our Clients Say it Best!
ServiceU in General
"This software is specifically designed for churches and the things we do. I'd never go back."
Brett Cavett, Assistant Stewardship Director
Green Acres Baptist Church (Tyler, Texas)
With an average attendance of 4,850, the church currently takes in 10% of its giving online.
Client since 2000
"The whole process is extremely seamless—our clients don't know we use ServiceU. It just looks like our website."
Cherilyn G. Ziemer, Assistant to Superintendent
Northland Christian School (Houston, Texas)
Client since 2004
"EventU allows us a lot of flexibility and enables us to have control over the areas we need for Vacation Bible School without imposing on other ministries that use the facility at the same time."
Terri Lincoln
First Redeemer Church (Cumming, Georgia)
First Redeemer Church runs two back-to-back weeks of Vacation Bible School for children in mid-July each year. Last year, the church served more than 2,500 children.
Client since 2006
EventU/TransactU
"Online tickets and registrations help prevent lines on Sundays, and are a great convenience to those who live some distance away or don't regularly attend our church. The calendar page and our special events pages are the most visited pages of our website, indicating how helpful this information is. The online calendar is very easy to use and keep up to date. I like how clean the calendar looks. I like the fact that we can customize it to look like our website. I like the flexibility of the registration process so that it can accommodate simple events and complicated ones."
Darla Teslow
Westwood Community Church (Excelsior, MN)
Client since 2002
"We are able to manage all our resources through EventU: our building, our transportation and our children. It helps us to avoid conflicts and we rarely have a problem with scheduling because of it."
Cherilyn G. Ziemer, Assistant to Superintendent
Northland Christian School (Houston, Texas)
Client since 2004
"Through the EventU user-friendly application, we were able to check for conflicting events, organize list resource lists, and turn approvals around much more quickly and efficiently. It was amazing how much time we saved and how the calendar became something that we could use to help our staff instead of something that was causing frustration. It's hard to believe that we once operated without the help of ServiceU."
Ashley Houpt, Helpdesk Manager
Bellevue Baptist Church (Cordova, Tennessee)
EventU Green
"We're reaching our goals to save money, energy, and to make sure that our facility is controlled effectively. Now I use a program that I can count on—instead of me—to turn it on, which is far more reliable."
Dave Paolozzi, Facilities Manager
Vineyard Christian Fellowship (Anaheim, California)
Client since 2001
"With EventU Green, the air automatically comes on when the event starts and turns off when it ends. No one has to remember to manually turn it on or off, and we are not air-conditioning an empty room for hours before and after the event."
Amanda Malkhassian, Facilities Coordinator
Vineyard Christian Fellowship (Anaheim, California)
Client since 2001
"EventU Green has been very helpful when we are off campus and get a call that an event is going to run several hours longer than it was originally scheduled. Whereas before we would have to track down someone on campus to turn the air on for longer, now we can simply turn the air on and off from any computer with Internet access."
Amanda Malkhassian, Facilities Coordinator
Vineyard Christian Fellowship (Anaheim, California)
TransactU
"Online giving is extremely important to Aid Sudan as it allows people to be able to give in a safe and controlled environment. The benefits have been two-fold: our staff can spend more time on our mission to aid the southern Sudanese, and our supporters engage in a no-hassle online process. The option to schedule recurring gifts gives donors the necessary tools to support Aid Sudan on a consistent basis without being taken away from their busy daily lives."
Sarah Thompson, Director of Administration
Aid Sudan (Houston, Texas)
Client since 2008
"Since implementing online giving, we have received 15% of our total donations online. And that is a percentage I expect to continue to grow."
Christina Knight, Treasurer
Central Church of the Nazarene (Tulsa, Oklahoma)
Client since 2008
"We take online checks and debit/credit cards, which total about 20% of our weekly giving. TransactU assists us with providing online registration and enables us to better handle money, since funds go directly to the bank. We spend less time being cashiers and providing online giving gives people the ability to be in control of their own giving. And even if they aren't able to attend they can still give."
Kevin Miller, Minister of Communications and Programming
Idlewild Baptist Church (Lutz, Florida)
Client since 1999
"Online giving is completely worth the money—you will gain a hundred-fold plus. You'll see the giving go up in the 18-35 age category if you offer online giving. I don't see how you wouldn't."
Andy Collins, Communications Director
Yorba Linda Friends Church (Yorba Linda, California)
Client since 2001
"Teachers shouldn't be managing money—their time can be spent more effectively on teaching, not on collecting payments and registrations. We were able to take the burden off our teachers and put the entire process online."
Cherilyn G. Ziemer, Assistant to Superintendent
Northland Christian School (Houston, Texas)
Client since 2004
"We wanted to give people a way to register and pay for events and classes online, as most of our youth events and sports ministries involve fees of some kind. In one month, nearly 88% of our congregation had used the registration features online."
"People love the fact that they don't have to keep track of paper, especially parents. Because all the forms for every event are online, there are no forms for kids to bring home, no papers encrusted with graham crackers to sign, no checks floating around in backpacks—it's extremely convenient and our parents appreciate it very much."
Becky Martin, E-Ministry Coordinator
Southland Church (Lexington, Kentucky)
Client since 2003
Year End Giving
"It was particularly nice for people trying to make last minute contributions for tax purposes at the end of the calendar year. They could make their donation regardless of what time the office closed on December 31st."
Christina Knight, Treasurer
Central Church of the Nazarene (Tulsa, Oklahoma)
Client since 2008
"TransactU has been so great for our online registrations. One major benefit is the process is immediate for them, and immediate for us."
Dena Hankins, Events and Facilities Coordinator
Real Life Ministries (Post Falls, Idaho)
Client since 2006
TicketU
"I also liked the ability to customize the appearance of the ticket. Though users are printing out tickets on their home computers, TicketU helped us make the tickets look extremely professional and brand our event to the community. I would highly recommend that other churches take advantage of online ticketing for their large events."
"The fact that you can have a map of your seating and view this map online is wonderful. The ticketing is done live, and the seating chart is done live, so you're not going to have people walking in with the same seat assignment."
Becky Martin, E-Ministry Coordinator
Southland Church (Lexington, Kentucky)
Client since 2003
"TicketU has been invaluable in helping us to manage the logistics of ministering to thousands and thousands of people. The cost has been minimal compared to the benefits TicketU has provided."
Karyn Purvis, Director of Communications
Parkview Christian Church (Orland Park, Illinois) (Lockport, Illinois)
Client since 2005
"The whole online ticketing process makes people feel like they're going to a very professional event. Online ticketing is a huge support to all our outreach efforts. We're thankful we found it!"
Toni Hamilton, Minister of Community Involvement
First Baptist Church Ft. Lauderdale (Fort Lauderdale, Florida)
TicketU was able to assist the church in streamlining the process of administering 48,000 tickets to its annual Christmas Pageant, the 4th largest event in South Florida.
Client since 2000
"Now we have the capacity to easily sell upwards of 15,000 tickets, mostly online. All the headache of the manual ticketing process has gone away with technology that TicketU has provided us with."
Kevin Miller, Minister of Communications and Programming
Idlewild Baptist Church (Lutz, Florida)
Client since 1999
Support
"I think support is really important and I've always had great experiences with ServiceU. Getting what you need quickly is the best, and it's always been that way! I recommend ServiceU to all of my church clients."
Patti Malott, Founder and President
Upright Ministries, a church business consulting firm (Spring, Texas)
"I appreciate all of the help that the Service U support staff gives us. The response time is quick, and they are always courteous. It is a breath of fresh air from our last provider."
Colleen Lingle
Chapelwood United Methodist Church (Houston, Texas)
Client since 2008
"Setting up the online giving forms and getting it started was simple. The online manual was helpful in that process. When I've needed to call for assistance with anything, the customer support people have been friendly and helpful."
Christina Knight, Treasurer
Central Church of the Nazarene (Tulsa, Oklahoma)
Client since 2008
"I appreciate the features that TransactU offer us. I feel that they make the planning and registration process more streamlined. The staff at ServiceU is always very helpful and quick to give assistance when requested."
Terri Lincoln
First Redeemer Church (Cumming, Georgia)
Client since 2006
