Church Email

Hey Everyone,

About two months ago my church’s server hard drive crashed and was gone.  For their email system they use Microsoft Exchange.  To get the server and Microsoft Exchange back online took about a week due to we don’t have a full-time IT guy, only a volunteer.  So emails for all their pastors were down for a week, if you work in a church you will find whenever your email doesn’t work you will have no idea what to do.  Your meetings, discussions, and a whole look of organising is done through email.

If your a small church I see no reason why you should be running this for yourself outsource it!

If your stuck on your Microsoft products and want to stay with Exchange then 1and1.com can provide you email accounts for $7 per account per month.

Google Apps is hosted email by Google along with a few other applications; but, you can just use the email part and for non-profits its FREE! And downtime?  There is so little you won’t even notice it.
