Church Management Software:
How to choose the package that's right for you
By Nancy Armstrong and Brent Bill
A local pastor was browsing in a Christian bookstore one afternoon and decided on the spur of the moment to purchase the only membership management software offered. It looked good on the box. He took it back to the church, placed it on the office manager's desk without warning and said, "Here, let's get our membership organized." It wouldn't--and it didn't.
Another much larger congregation spent thousands of dollars on software designed for non-profit organizations. The software limited the number of records, but leaders felt it fit their current size and activity level. The staff wasn't worried that the software didn't have a contributions module because a volunteer couple had entered and processed contributions for years. But one November, the couple told the church they wouldn't do it anymore--effective December 31.
Seeing a way to save money, a church member at another congregation volunteered to create a membership database using generic database software. It worked well...most of the time. But then the member moved away, leaving church staff with limited knowledge and no outside support. In the middle of a busy program year, the database locked up. The staff found they had no information, no one to call and no data backup.
These stories are true. They are just a few from the files of the Indianapolis Center for Congregations (ICC). Since its creation in 1997, the center, a program of the Alban Institute and funded by the Lilly Endowment, has helped more than 200 congregations of various sizes and denominational affiliation with computer and ministry issues.
