It was in early 2003 that Debra and I first discussed the concept of ChurchPost, noticing that even our own small church at the time had large communication issues that often translated into wasted resources and hurt feelings.
Two years later, after lengthy discussions with hundreds of clergy, lay leaders and other friends and family, we set out building a prototype and officially launched ChurchPost.com in 2005 at the National Outreach Convention in San Diego.
Our experience in San Diego, including our “monitor on fire” incident, is surely the topic of a separate post 
We have come a long way, and have been amazed at the honesty and generosity of our customers – people who have essentially built this product for us while we have been along for the ride.
The release of ChurchPost Version 3 this past Easter was a huge milestone for us, and while it wasn’t entirely smooth, our dedication to providing the best possible service for a specific set of needs has kept our ears open to feedback (both good and bad) and has helped us provide a tool we are incredibly proud of.
Of course, we are always working to improve – and our hearts are in this for the long haul.
To help celebrate our hard work, Team ChurchPost will be heading to California for a company retreat later this month (June 23 – June 30).
During this time, we will offer limited email support through our newly launched support site:
http://support.churchpost.com
Or direcly via email (support@churchpost.com)
We intentionally picked this span of time as a particularly quiet block as folks enjoy summer and restore their energy for the return of fall programming.
ChurchPost started in our congregation of 200 people, sending 2 emails out about once a week.
Today, over 1,500 users have sent messages to hundreds of thousands of people from every denomination around the world – from newsletters to birthday greetings, death notices to baptism pictures.
Thank you for making this journey with us.
