Bell Shoals Baptist Church online event registration/shopping tools go live

Six months after completing phase 1 of a complete site revamp, BitSculptor has taken live phase 2 of BellShoals.com, adding online event registration and shopping features to an already feature-rich site. With a membership of over 6,000 people, Bell Shoals Baptist Church in Brandon, FL is no small "country church," and their web site needs are also not small..

The new online event registration capabilities are powerful yet simple to administer, giving ministry coordinators the ability to create calendar events and custom registration forms for those events. Site visitors can then register for the event online, submitting secure credit card payment through the BellShoals.com site.

Secure checkout capabilities are also used for the Bell Shoals store, which currently sells Senior Pastor Forrest Pollock's sermon series' and will soon expand to other items.

Both the online event registration and the Bell Shoals store tools run through a single shopping cart and secure payment gateway, simplifying administration for church accountants who download transaction reports which are then imported into their office financial software.
