Introducing the Services Module

Introduction

The Gotedo Church Management Software comes with a full-fledged and continuously-improved module for managing church services. The Services module is, perhaps, the largest module within Gotedo and, of course, that could be understandable since there might not be a church without church services. The Services module is highly customisable to suit the needs of any church whether small-, medium-, or large-sized churches/congregations. The various mechanisms for customising the Service module will be explained as read through various topics within this category.
