When it comes to church management solutions, options abound. The volume of choices can make it difficult to determine which is the best fit.
Options, style of product and cost all have to be considered. With long standing providers, it's easy to miss new companies with their fresh approach and solutions.
With that in mind we have picked a few “newer “church software solutions. Each has a different approach and feature set, but they bring a common goal.
Making ministry easier for the local church.
The solutions, in alphabetical order, are…
