Case Study: Journey Christian Church achieves streamlined data and increased productivity with Blackbaud Church Management

Blackbaud Church Management offers time-saving efficiency and a more connected community for Journey Christian Church

Journey Christian Church is a central Florida congregation founded in 1969 with more than 2,000 members across two locations, about 2,200 average weekend worshippers, and 250 livestream attendees. As the church grew, staff added a dozen-plus one‑off tools that didn’t integrate, creating data silos and time‑consuming, error‑prone manual work—so IT Director JD Eger sought a unified solution.

By adopting Blackbaud Church Management, Journey consolidated its member database, giving platforms, attendance tracking, and secure child check‑ins into one system. The integrated platform and strong vendor support have streamlined data access, boosted staff productivity, improved communication across ministries (security, volunteers, counseling groups), and freed the team to focus on ministry rather than managing disparate systems.
