Church Director Product Blog

Our hosting provider is experiencing an outage across their entire network, impacting your ability to reach Church Director (and other websites hosted at the same location). I’ll keep you updated as things get repaired, but for now it may be spotty access, as their connectivity fluctuates.

Update: It seems that our hosting provider was losing network traffic due to a Denial of Service (DoS) attack on their upstream network provider. The offenders have since been blocked and all service has returned to normal.

We’ve been busy working on some recent upgrades for the website. In fact, we’ve experienced so much great response that we had to add a new server to our hosting plan already! While the previous setup was adequate, this new setup gives us some great flexibility and plenty of room to grow. Here is a quick summary of what is new on the website:

1. Auto Scheduler fixes - we found some small bugs with the Auto Scheduler, so we had it turned off the last week or so (no one was using it at the time). Those are now fixed and auto scheduling should work as expected now
2. Church admins may now access any of the church planners for management purposes or for changing a team planner’s leader (in case a new leader has been appointed)
3. We’ve added a Frequently Asked Questions page to answer some common questions we’ve been asked
4. Fixed the ‘my church’ link at the top to appear on all pages for faster navigation
5. We now show the minimum and preferred job role coverage metrics on the assignment screen (upper-left corner of each job role box)
6. Notification emails may now have a customized from email address and message (optional)

As always, thanks to everyone currently participating in the closed beta program! If you aren’t part of the closed beta program, signup today and get early access to Church Director!
