The ChurchTeams Church Management Software solution is all about group membership. Each new person added to the church’s database can be assigned to whatever groups make sense, and your administrator gets to define what the different groups will be. This part of the software is entirely flexible.

Create whatever groups your congregation needs to keep people in the loop. Whether it’s a ministry team, small group leaders, church school, bible study groups, or anything else you need, members of each group will receive all communications sent to the groups to which they are assigned. This is an invaluable aid to any church in managing its membership and communicating with its people. The product is web-based and also optimized for the mobile environment, which means it can be accessed from any device with an Internet connection. The system also allows for the collection of critical data on individual members, such as birth dates or personal interests, contributions/giving, and information can also be entered into the person’s records, such as notes from pastoral care sessions. This data is useful in maintaining robust individual profiles, tracking assimilation, and creating informative reports. The system also handles event registrations and event check-ins, which includes scanning barcodes and printing nametags.

Pros

Several users noted that the value you get for the price makes this solution a no-brainer for many churches. It serves so many valuable functions from event registrations and check-ins to contributions and online giving management, and of course communication with groups. And all of this can be used to generate reports that help you understand your people and grow your church. Churches who previously had less-than-user-friendly systems installed on their local computer network are extremely happy with a cloud-based solution – no more fretting over a computer crash killing the entire system because it’s all automatically backed up in the cloud. It’s clear that while many churches latch onto ChurchTeams to help them manage different groups, it doesn’t seem to take long before they realize just how far its power and functionality extend to all aspects of church management. Users are also uniformly impressed with the company’s customer service and support in resolving any issues that come up, and are also receptive to suggestions for changes and enhancements.

Cons

This one is difficult because the vast majority of ChurchTeams users literally have nothing negative to say. Sure, there’s the occasional wish that the interface was “prettier” than it is, or highly specific little features that would be nice to have, but no one really has anything negative to say about ChurchTeams.

In fact, many users note that the company itself is a joy to work with and feels more like a true partner in ministry than just a software vendor. After all, when’s the last time one of your software vendors sent you an email message out of the blue just to say they’re praying for you? In the corporate world, that would be extremely strange, but in the church world, it’s more than welcome!
