The purpose of this project was to investigate all pertinent hardware, software, and literature available to determine the feasibility of developing a complete church computer system (for a small church at a cost of less than {dollar}2000.00) and then train the staff, in absentia, to operate that system. Efforts were made to move that staff from the mentality of record keeping into the concept of information management. The procedures for this action research involved examination of hardware and software, determination of appropriate system components, participant familiarization, an individual post-questionnaire for each software program and for the package, and a post personal or telephone structured interview. Evaluation was on three levels: participants' general impressions about overall effectiveness of computerization and their ability to function within the system; numerical averages of the individual questions in the questionnaire; and, suggestions of changes to improve system efficiency or effectiveness. The study concluded that the project and its processes were viable and productive.
