30 Questions for Choosing Church Software
A Quick-reference Evaluation Guide1. Do you use bulk mail sorting for any communication to the congregation?
2. When a person dies or leaves the congregation, do you still want to keep information about them--family
connections, address, contribution or attendance information? Is it important to record the date when they
die or leave?
3. What special ministry areas within your congregation would you like to track within a computer
database?
4. Can the person in charge of your membership data make decisions about the design of the database (more
powerful), or should the software provide all of the structure (less chance for error)?
5. Do you want to know who has (or hasn't) attended worship, classes or other events? If so, does that
include members, visitors or both?
6. Do you want to know who takes communion during a worship service?
7. Do you host multiple weekly worship services?
8. Do you follow up with members who've missed several consecutive worship services, classes or other
events? Do you want that information kept in a computer database?
9. Are there several levels of organization for church school or other classes? If so, do you want to use
them in reporting? (e.g., area, department, age, class name)
10. Do publish membership, contribution or financial information on the Internet?
