Customer Stories: Why Churches are Coming Back to KidCheck

Choosing the right check-in system is an important decision for any children’s or youth ministry. A secure, reliable check-in solution helps protect children while providing families, volunteers, and staff with an efficient, welcoming experience. However, not every check-in system is designed to meet a ministry’s unique needs while keeping child protection a priority.

Here are the experiences of two KidCheck customers who switched and then returned. Learn what their church management systems were missing and the benefits they gained coming back. Their stories demonstrate the importance of choosing the right check-in solution to help your ministry reach the next level.

A Clear Winner: Why KidCheck Beat Our Church Management Check-In

This is the story of Brian Jones, an Assistant Pastor and Children’s Director at Grace Baptist Church in Wilmington, North Carolina. Jones decided to switch to the check-in feature available in his church management system to possibly save money.

Per Jones, “After just a few weeks, we realized this was a huge mistake. Every week, we found ourselves missing the features and options of KidCheck more and more.”

Lesson Learned: Church Management Check-In Can’t Replace KidCheck

Gina Eggebrecht, the Preschool Director at Bible Church of Little Rock, Arkansas, decided to give the check-in component within their church management system, “the old college try.” The goal was to use all the pieces of their ChMS, integrate various systems, and save a little money. Not only was it not a good experience, but they also didn’t save any money.

Eggebrecht shared, “Week after week, we had issues – and that is not an exaggeration. Parents did not like it. Workers did not like it because they could not get the check-in kiosks to load.
