WHAT IS THE “MOBILYZR ONLINE” SYSTEM AND WHAT WILL ITS TOOLS DO FOR US?
What is mobilyzr.com? “mobilyzr Online” is a system of online databases, tools, reports, and resources that helps leaders pinpoint their church’s or ministry’s vital signs, so they can implement an intentional, complete, integrated process to connect God’s people to meaningful ministry.
What will it do for us? The “mobilyzr Online” system provides a system of tools that assist church and ministry leaders in the following general ways:
- Using the free “mobilyzr Online” Ministry Guide, leaders can input and store their organizational structure, ministry positions, and job descriptions online. They can also give people access to view any or all available ministry service opportunities, review the relevant job responsibilities and time commitment, and find out how to contact leaders about openings. The Ministry Guide has a printout feature to produce and copy your Guide as a booklet.
- The PLACE Volunteer Database, bundled with the “mobilyzr Online” Survey System subscription, stores contact information and ministry identification details for all individuals who have completed the five PLACE Assessments mentioned above. This database tracks individuals from workshop/assessment to ministry placement, provides searches for specific data, generates reports that build accountability among church leaders, and tracks trends that provide valuable ministry insights.
- Six “mobilyzr Online” Evaluation questionnaires identify specific areas for improvement in the six parts of an integrated ministry mobilization process: connecting, identifying, equipping, empowering, encouraging, and multiplying. They also offer a range of recommended resources that are targeted at the specific issues addressed in various questions. The Evaluation questionnaires are available in print and online versions, and can be used with an entire congregation, or any specified subgroups or ministry teams. Results from online Evaluations are automatically stored in a database. Results from print Evaluations can be input into the same database.
- The “mobilyzr Online” Survey System, bundled with the PLACE Volunteer Database subscription, gives three separate congregational polls: Ministry Involvement in the church and in the community, Equipping Preferences for each individual’s hierarchy of best learning modes and media, and Appreciation Preferences for each individual’s hierarchy of best ways to receive encouragement. Survey results are stored in individuals’ Volunteer Database profiles. The Survey System helps leaders improve tracking of ministry trends and customizing communications with individual staff and volunteers.
- The PLACE Assessment Tool uses a set of five assessments to help individuals discover their God-given Personality, Spiritual Gifts, Abilities, Passions, and Life Experiences, and match this with “best fit” ministry possibilities. The PLACE Assessment Tool is available in print and online versions. Results from both kinds can be stored in a subscriber’s PLACE Volunteer Database.
- Other PLACE print and media products help in implementing the “identifying” element in the mobilyzr process more effectively. They include resources to train church leaders, PLACE Consultants, and PLACE System Implementers.
- Other Setting the PACE print and media products help individuals create a life-plan for purpose, mission, and vision.
It has proven true that “Whatever gets measured, gets attention.” Retaking various mobilyzr.com Evaluations and Surveys periodically helps in tracking quantitative and qualitative ministry trends over time, and in establishing “mobilization milestones.” Also, Evaluation results can be compared to national results for all churches or churches of similar size.
Also, mobilyzr tools can be used in customized combinations to better meet the specific needs of a church, ministry, or agency. Information on such combinations is found throughout the descriptions and instructions for each product, and is detailed in the various “mobilyzr Online” product Implementation Guides.
