Church Management Software:
How to choose the package that's right for you
By Nancy Armstrong and Brent Bill
Think about what you want your software to do. Of course you'll want to keep track of people, but how? By the various kinds of relationships they have with your church (members, visitors, constituents, children and spouses of members and so on)? Do you need to know different kinds of telephone numbers (fax, cell, pager)? What about keeping information about their spiritual gifts and how they use them? Do you want to print your own directory? Is contribution entry going to be done onsite or from a remote location, such as a volunteer's home? Do you want to maintain vendor information files and be able to enter invoices? Is it important that you are able to do payroll and everything associated with it? Do you want to keep an asset inventory (quantity, location, value and description)? Are you going to use your CMS package on an individual computer or on a network with multiple workstations?
These questions can seem overwhelming, but they're important. Too many churches buy software without considering what they want it to do. They end up with package that sits on someone's computer but isn't used because it just doesn't do what it needs to do.
