Strength of the Ox, LLC
"Where there are no oxen, the manger is clean, but abundant crops come by the strength of the ox."
Proverbs 14:4
Nobody likes change. But as it’s been said, the last seven words of a dying church are, “We’ve never done it that way before.” The process of effecting change in business is hard enough; how about in the church?
So this has to be compelling, and it has to be motivating. And Strength of the Ox will help manage the transition, working together with you to seek more “abundant crops”, every day.
Support and Community
In the spirit of the collaboration tools that are enabled by our services, we want to empower the volunteers in your church to help out. Every church has folks that could tithe their gifts in IT for the benefit of the body, but the good ones know it’ll take more than 10% of their time to get it right.
We want to help with that. When you sign up with us, we will collaborate with your collaborators by inviting your designated IT volunteers to join a Team with us, and with all the other volunteers at all our other member churches. We’ll share ideas, best practices, advice, war stories, and generally work toward constantly improving this platform based on exactly what your needs are.
Costs and Community
Church 365 launches November 15, 2024 and will be available for all churches for $99/month or $1,100/year.
- There is a 30-day free trial period during which we will work with you to get onboarded and trained
- All features will be available to all churches that subscribe, regardless of size
- We will not base our pricing on how many church members you have, or on the size of your staff
- We are a for-profit LLC, but we are going to operate this as a ministry. As such, we will be transparent about our investments. If you are a larger church and you find yourselves receiving considerable benefit from this service (some churches may find that they can save up to thousands or more per month with this), we will encourage subscriber churches to consider adding a donation to their monthly subscription. As we are able, we will use this to fund expanded language support (this service is available globally but currently is only available in English), and to make sponsorships or reduced pricing available to church plants or other churches that may be struggling.
- In keeping with our intention to operate as a ministry, please review our statement of faith and mission.
It’s our hope that you’ll be able to retire and migrate some/many/most of your existing subscription services by leveraging this platform, and your overall cost savings will result in a net gain for your church.
