church management system

When it comes to church management software (ChMS), church leaders have a wide variety of options available. If you're in the market for a new ChMS tool, one of the tools you've likely heard of is FellowshipOne. In this review, I'd like to provide you with a brief history of the company along with an overview of its features.

Leaders of faith-based organizations are noticing the growing demand for church apps—and it’s no wonder! The number of apps used per day is two times higher than it was in 2015, and people now spend 85% of their digital time on smartphones using apps. With the mobile-first population on the rise, these trends are likely to continue.

Church Base, a leader in custom church software, recently released a completely free full-featured new church management software (ChMS), Church Base Community, to complete the “three pillars of church management; engagement, financial, and community...”, as Church Base’ mission states.

Many organizations, small businesses, and churches can easily overlook how employees manage and track their time. These same businesses may also overlook how a better time tracking process can improve their entire operation. Timeclock software is a tool that can help churches eliminate payroll errors, decrease payroll budgets, and save time. 

Churches are meant to be sanctuaries with open doors and safe spiritual spaces where people can enter and worship in peace and harmony. Church building security is a topic that has become critical in the last ten years and people want to know how they can make their churches safer.

Have you taken stock of how secure your church is from theft or violence due to unauthorized access to your building? It is of paramount importance that your members and staff are safe when they come to church. When members and their families are worshiping they should be and feel comfortable that the church premises is secure.

The phrase "closing the back door" is often used when addressing how to prevent members from leaving a church, but I think a better phrase is "leave no one behind." For many people who stop attending church, it's simply a matter of falling out of the habit. When someone from the church actively reaches out and invites the member to come back, that person is often more receptive and willing to return.

The idea of software being user-friendly is a key selling point. This is especially true for churches who are interested in purchasing church management software for staff who may have varying degrees of technical capabilities. It is ideal and advisable to choose a ChMS that is intuitive and easy to use.
