Airset

Airset is one of the ways to keep groups organized and informed.   Most likely you have many different groups in your church, all with different plans and agendas.  Sometimes it is difficult to keep them all under one umbrella to keep a handle on what is going on.  Enter Airset.

It has some great features that make church organization a breeze.

Group Tools

Allows you to organize and separate different areas of the church into their own groups.  Each class could have their own calendar, address book, files, etc.  all hosted on the internet accessible to everyone.  Each member of the group can have differing administrative privileges too to control edits.

File Hosting

Need to make a document, picture or song accessible to the group?  Airset allows you to upload up to 1gig of files.

Messaging Capabilities

Send emails and text messages to cell phones via the Airset interface.  Message the whole group at once or individually

Calendar

Calendar can be edited via a web interface from any computer.  Color coding helps keep events clear.  Can be embedded into your churches website very nicely.  And you can see each groups calendar seperately or see all of them combined into one.

Address Book

Works very well for SS rolls.  An editable spreadsheet style Address Book.

Lists

Makes it possible to organize to-do’s, goals, or ideas for everyone to see.

Blog

Provide you with blogging capabilities.  Not very customizable, but can be utilized for a text editor if you just need a place to write down, or keep information.  In my case I use it to keep a record of Music we have sung.

 

I utilize airset here at church mainly for the music ministry.  I can have all special music on the calendar and have it embedded into the church website so that everyone can have access to the schedule.  

I work with an assistant and we are both able, even at the same time, to schedule groups, the songs that will be sung, and the congregational music for the instrumentalists.

All elements of the calendar are color coordinated.  Each song on the calendar I can add “attendees” to where they will get notified 2 weeks in advance of them singing.

Goals and tasks for music are organized in the “lists” function.

The “blog” function I keep private, but is a record of every song, in list format, that we have sung divided out by the person or group that sung it.  Very helpful for when people cancel at the last moment.

The youth pastor has all events organized in a separate tab, and the main church calendar can mix-in events from any of the other ministries to display as the main calendar.

Comes highly recommended from many that I know personally that use it daily.
