Church Accounting Software

by Michael

Question regarding church fund accounting software.

I am the treasurer to a small church of about 80 members, and I wanted to purchase software that would specialize in fund accounting.

I am new to accounting and was looking at "Church Windows" as well as "PowerChurch". Is there any you would recommend that won't bust our wallet but at the same time do it's job.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Vickey's Response

We use my spreadsheets at my church.

However, our small church is growing and I have been researching an user-friendly low-cost software also.

Some offer a 30 day free trial. I would definitely want to try it out first before I bought it.

Looking forward to other people's recommendations on this subject!

We have about 200 active members and use Church Windows which has 5 modules which you can subscribe to separately. If I had a voice in decision, I don't know if I would go with this software again. The Membership module does not provide adequate reports; we are always doing spreadsheets and rekeying info because it is easier. Also, accounts payable is not automated like you would have with QuickBooks.

I would definitely try the 30 day free trial before purchasing. Just my thoughts, Janice

We have been using PowerChurch for about 2 years now. It works well in combining the contribution., membership, payables, payroll and general account and is easy to use. I actually recommended it to my sister for her church to use.

I am new at church bookkeeping but there is a program that was written by a church pastor called CDM+. It is very easy to set up and use and they are very helpful.

As a treasurer at the church we have been using MS Office, it is very time consuming but it does work. The hardest is trying to link all the reports together...
