Northland Church says QuietCall church paging system from HME Wireless helps give congregants with small children peace of mind
Northland Church calls itself as "a church distributed." That means Northland is serving people "everywhere, everyday ... reaching out into the community and providing help wherever it is needed." That's no small feat, considering that Northland worships at three sites in Florida, as well as "house church" locations throughout the United States and the world.
Led by senior pastor Dr. Joel C. Hunter, Northland uses technology that allows people to worship wherever they are around the globe–in fact, the church streams its services live via the Web, and even has online ministers available to interact with worshipers. Now Northland is using church paging technology from HME Wireless to more effectively serve families at its largest site in Longwood, FL.
Northland's Longwood location features a huge, 3,000-seat sanctuary, and counts large numbers of parents with small children among its membership. The QuietCall church paging system from HME Wireless allows those parents to attend services with peace of mind. That's because its nursery pagers allow parents to be contacted silently at any time during a service, with no disruption to others around them.
"We wanted to reassure parents that they would be able to worship here without distraction," said Debbie Blahnik, Director of Children's Ministries at Northland's Longwood site. "The nursery pagers play an important part in helping us to create a safe environment where parents know they can be contacted instantly and discretely, should their children ever need them."
Northland's Longwood facility is 160,000 sq. ft., requiring a church nursery pager system with enough range to handle the workload. Blahnik noted that the pagers are working flawlessly, with no networking or connectivity issues. Parents at Northland also appreciate the enhancements of digital technology, with easy-to-see numbers that light up on the side of the pager to notify them of when they are needed.
"We have seen a big increase in church nursery paging systems over the past several years" stated Russ Ford, Vice President of HME Wireless. "Children's safety is on every parents mind, and we at HME Wireless are committed to delivering solutions which help deliver on that promise to parents."
Blahnik praised HME Wireless for its service quality, citing that as one of the main reasons Northland chose HME for its nursery pagers.
"They have wonderful, very fast service," she said. "And they're very dependable."
Northland's widespread congregation includes 15,000 people around the world. Services are streamed on Facebook, Roku set top boxes, and on iPhone and Android mobile devices, among others. Adding QuietCall's cutting-edge paging system is another way the church is using technology to serve its congregation.
