Microsoft 365 for a church or small office — without a Louisville MSP

Licenses, MFA, shared mailboxes, and backups. The boring stack that keeps Sunday from becoming an IT emergency.

What a six-person staff actually needs

A church secretary, a three-person law office, and a clinic all need the same boring things: mail that is not tied to one PC, files that survive a stolen laptop, and logins that are not shared on a sticky note.

Microsoft 365 does that. The mess is licensing, shared mailboxes, and nobody turning on MFA. A Louisville MSP will wrap it in a $200-per-user story. We will set the tenant up, document who owns what, and put it on a plan that matches a 6-person staff.

The first afternoon

If you are still popping PST files off a dead Outlook, that is the first afternoon.

Then MFA, a named admin who is not the pastor’s personal Hotmail, and a backup of the mailbox so a deleted inbox is a restore, not a miracle.

Paint Creek Technologies is based in Paintsville and serves Eastern Kentucky on-site. Request an estimate.

Questions we get

Can we keep the @ourchurch.org address?
Yes. That is the point of a tenant done right. The domain stays yours.
Do volunteers need their own licenses?
Sometimes a shared mailbox is enough. We will not sell you ten licenses for three people.
