What church software can do for you – and how to find the right provider.

Running or helping to run a church can be a trying business at the best of times, and it can be difficult to keep track of every aspect of your church’s organisation. Whether it’s for keeping an up-to-date record of your church’s membership, or instead ensuring that your incomings aren’t exceeded by your outgoings, it can therefore be invaluable to have a constant and unerring source of assistance in the form of church software.

The best software for church accounting, for example, will be so much more efficient than a paper-based system, and will probably feature HMRC gift aid facilities that will make it easy for you to manage your church donations whilst complying with the HM Revenue & Customs regulations. Thousands of UK charities have claimed HMRC gift aid, so this feature of the church accounting software alone could make investment in it well worthwhile.

Once the decision has been made to seek out such software, then, one of your first priorities will probably be to find software that has approved for use by the organisation of which your church is a part – whether that is the Church of England, Church of Scotland, Roman Catholic Church in England, Church of Ireland, Presbyterian Church in Ireland, New Testament Church of God or another organisation.

Next, you’ll want to ensure that the provider that you choose offers an extensive range of software to match a similarly wide range of individual needs, from a donations coordinator and finance coordinator to membership coordinator and all of the associated support and training. The best provider that you can choose is likely to have spent many years in the church software industry, and is also likely to have a simple online ordering system as part of an attractive, informative and easy to use website.
