CHURCH SOFTWARE
CHURCH SOFTWARE
When a church is determining what software program to use for church accounting/church management, Here are some questions to use to start your software search.
What does the church want the software to do?
Do you want the software do just accounting or do you want just church management, or a combination of both?
Can the software be networked with other computers, if so how many computers do you want networked together? (certain software will not network computers together)
How user friendly is the software or do you need a computer tech from the software company all of the time?
What is the software cost? Some software comes in modules and the software modules can be later added to expand for future needs.
Is there any telephone or online technical support? Is there any extra cost beyond the software cost for technical help?
Can I get a trial version of the software to look at?
Some features of a software program a church might want to have included are:
Accounting
Donation/contributions tracking
Tracking membership (possibly with pictorial directory for the staff to use)
Visitation scheduling/tracking dates/types of visits made
Church calendar
Facilities scheduling (different events)
Tracking small group members and attendance
Tracking committee membership and attendance
Bar code scanner to keep up with church assets
