Every Feature You’d Expect — Except the Price Tag
We didn't reinvent church software. We just made it make sense. All the core tools are here — people management, online giving, event registration, check-ins, worship planning, scheduling, accounting, insights, and more — built to handle real ministry, not just Sunday logistics.
Software Should Serve the Church, Not Strain It.
We built ChurchSoftware.com to do the stuff that actually matters — like organizing your people, checking in kids, scheduling volunteers, and running events without chaos or group texts.
And everything we don't have to pay for, we don't make you pay for either.
Because ministry is hard enough without overpriced software getting in the way.
People Management
Track your members, families, visitors, and anyone else who steps foot in your church (or your inbox). Add notes, assign roles, and keep everything organized.
Online Giving
Let your church give online — one-time, recurring, or text-to-give with a card or ACH. And you have the option for all transaction fees to be paid for by the giver, meaning your church receives 100% of the tithe or offering.
Groups
Small groups, Bible studies, life groups, ministries, you name it. Create them, manage them, message them. Get people connected in community without the annoying reply-alls.
Worship Planning
Pick songs, build setlists, assign roles, and keep everyone in sync — no more “Wait, I’m on keys this week?” texts.
Accounting
Track your church finances without the need for a full time CPA on staff. Our built-in accounting system handles income, expenses, fund accounting, and reporting — all designed with churches in mind. Easy to use, hard to mess up, and yes, totally free.
Event Registration
Sign people up, cap attendance, collect details, and send reminders. Even charge $5 for those extra tee-shirts if needed. Finally, a registration system that feels built for churches, not some clunky corporate seminar.
Kids Check-in
Keep Sunday mornings safe, smooth, and semi-sane. Secure check-ins, printed tags, pickup codes — plus automatic allergy alerts, because goldfish crackers can be risky business.
Volunteer Scheduling
Wrangle your worship team, greeters, coffee crew, and the guy who only plays the cajón. Auto-reminders and simple swaps mean fewer no-shows and zero group texts at 6AM.
Email Communication
Keep your people in the loop without jumping through tech hoops. Send newsletters, announcements, automated email workflows, or a last-minute “we need more folding chairs in the fellowship hall” message — all straight from your dashboard.
Custom Forms
Create forms for anything: retreats, prayer requests, mission trips, student camp, potlucks, baptism sign-ups. Drag. Drop. Done. (Just don’t use it to plan the church chili cook-off. Too controversial.)
Sermon Library
Upload audio or video, organize by series, tag by topic. Give your teaching a life beyond Sunday. Or finally settle the “best sermon ever” debate in your staff meeting.
Church Mobile App
Our free mobile app gives your people access to events, sermons, giving, groups, and more — right in their pocket. It’s streamlined, simple, and totally church-ready out of the box.
Actionable Insights
Metrics that matter — not just how many people clicked a link. Track engagement, giving trends, attendance, and more.
Okay, So Why Aren’t ALL the Features Free?
We’d love to give everything away for free. But a few things come with unavoidable costs — like payroll fees, background checks, web hosting, and mobile infrastructure. These aren't "premium upgrades." They're just the few areas where outside vendors send us real bills.
Use what you need. Don’t use what you don’t. It’s that simple.
So here are the few features that aren’t free (and why):
Background Checks
Not free — because safety matters and screening costs money.
Run background checks for staff and volunteers directly through the platform. It's fast, secure, and integrated.
Payroll
Not free — because banks charge to move money.
Run payroll in all 50 states right from your dashboard without needing a separate service or a calculator that makes you sweat. Taxes? Taken care of. Direct deposit? Obviously.
Websites
Not free — because servers and domains aren’t free either.
Build a great-looking church website that’s easy to manage, without hiring a developer.
Branded Mobile App
Not free — because Apple and Google don’t do ministry discounts.
Give your church a mobile app they’ll actually use — for giving, check-ins, communication, calendars, events, and more.
SMS Texting
Not free — because carriers don’t do charity.
Sometimes you just need to get the word out — fast. Text messaging makes it easy to notify your whole church (or just a group) about schedule changes, events, or “yes, it’s really happening in the gym now.” No fancy apps required. Just clear, quick communication that actually gets read.
Integrations
Discover a suite of features designed to streamline your church management. From attendance tracking to donation management, we’ve got you covered.
When it comes to keeping your church safe, you can’t cut corners. That’s why we’ve teamed up with Authenticate — a trusted leader in background screening.
With our Facebook Integration, you can effortlessly connect your church’s events, updates, and announcements to your Facebook page, making it easy to keep your congregation in the loop.
Our integration with CCLI SongSelect and Auto-reporting gives you instant access to thousands of lyrics, chord charts, and lead sheets right from our worship planning tools.
With PraiseCharts.com built right in, you can browse, purchase, and import high-quality sheet music and arrangements directly into your worship planning.
Whether you're streaming Sunday service in real-time or uploading last week's sermon for folks who missed it, our YouTube integration makes it simple.
With Google Analytics baked in, you can track visits, clicks, and conversions on your church website — no data degree required.
