The apostle Paul dedicated his very life traveling, preaching and establishing and nourishing churches across Asia Minor, Palestine and Europe. He is surely our greatest example of a church planter.<\/p>\n

We do not need more reason to be involved in church planting than what we are admonished to do in Matthew 28:19-20, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit., teaching them to observe all that I commanded you, and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Can there be any doubt?<\/p>\n

We at the RDS Advantage church management software team dedicated ourselves to this scripture when we first began serving churches thirty years ago. As a result of our emphasis on church extension and planting we built special tools into the system to help churches we serve bring new congregations into being.<\/p>\n

RDS, whether operating on the Cloud<\/a> or on-site server<\/a>, is designed so that a church can support an unlimited number of other churches on their system without additional cost. Each additional church has its own separate database with all the functions of the parent church. Because RDS does not charge by the module, a church plant has every feature and capability of this powerful church management software.<\/p>\n

Using remote access, which can be accomplished using Terminal Services (RDC) or third party applications, church plants can access and use their system located on the host computer, no matter its location. New congregations have virtually cost-free use of the system. When the new congregation has matured and wants to bring its RDS system in-house, all that needs to be done is to copy their data onto their own server or to the Cloud.<\/p>\n
