Challenge

Scattered Data and Inefficient Staffing Hindered Ministry Support

The Pacific Southwest District Lutheran Church Missouri Synod (PSWD-LCMS) oversees a vast network of 300 churches and 150 schools. Their mission faced serious obstacles: critical information like church and school worker contact details, church and school status, historical data and more was trapped in a tangle of spreadsheets and makeshift databases. This chaos made their prime mission of effectively resourcing churches, schools and church workers incredibly time-consuming and prone to errors.

Solution

Salesforce Nonprofit Success Pack as a Unifying Force

PSWD-LCMS recognized they needed a powerful, centralized database—and an expert guide to make the most of it. Coastal's deep understanding of faith-based organizations and extensive Salesforce expertise made us the ideal partner.

Coastal tailored Salesforce's Nonprofit Success Pack into a custom data hub for PSWD-LCMS. This solution not only streamlined information management but transformed their processes and provided a centralized database of record. It replaced the disjointed steps in communicating with providing resources to its constituents with a fluid, intuitive system, enhancing district-wide visibility into those it serves. Plus, the ability to manage region-specific details and outcomes elevated PSWD-LCMS's overall service to its community.
