Church Management Software

Church Management Software

I have been selling church management software since about 1990. I guess that is about 17 years. At Church Software Store, we sell various products, so I am not recommending a product because it is the ONLY one we sell. Every church and person is different. Why do you see so many fast food places close to each other? Could it be because we all have our tastes and preferences? So this also fits with church management software. However there are some things you need to realize BEFORE purchasing a product.
  1. Can you use the software on more than one machine without paying extra?
  2. Can it be networked?
  3. Does it include accounting?
  4. Can you return it within a time period if it really is not what you want?
  5. Is the help offered for an adequate time period?
  6. Is there toll-free help?
  7. How long is the toll-free help?
  8. When does the toll-free help start?
  9. Is the quality of support adequate?
I can honestly say because my customers have told me that PowerChurch Plus software is one of the best and easiest to learn pieces of software that I have seen.

  1. Can you use the software on more than one machine without paying extra? YES
  2. Can it be networked? YES
  3. Does it include accounting? YES
  4. Can you return it within a time period if it really is not what you want? 60 DAYS*
  5. Is the help offered for an adequate time period? 90 DAYS
  6. Is there toll-free help? YES
  7. How long is the toll-free help? 90 DAYS from your first call
  8. When does the toll-free help start? From your first call
  9. Is the quality of support adequate? YES
  10. Does is have a well-written manual? YES
When you purchase PowerChurch Plus, you are purchasing a site license which can be used on as many computers as you wish AS LONG AS they are all for your church.

Due to these advantages PowerChurch Plus is my favorite church management software program. Now I am sure that there are other products which may do almost or even all of the same things but I have found that for the price, PowerChurch is the favoured product. What other products INCLUDE FUND ACCOUNTING?

We also carry Donarius to round out the choices. Donarius is a well-built simple product which is amazingly guaranteed by the developer for ONE WHOLE YEAR.
For the last few years, PowerChurch knocks off $100 every November, December, January. Now we cannot
guarantee that this will continue. But it has occurred for the last few years.

Our normal price is priced a little below the developer.

Also the individual that I sold ChurchPower.com to is William Dalziel, who is an accountant, does our church books and is very knowledgeable about PowerChurch Software.

Great FREE SOFTWARE

How would you like to get hundreds of dollars worth of software for FREE?

I encourage you to download the Google Pak by clicking on the button on the sidebar. It contains these gems.
  • Picasa - This is my favorite product. I use it to download the photos from my digital cameras and perform simple tasks such as cropping and filling with light if the photo is too dark. In addition, you can organize your photos in Albums or I prefer to organize them in folders on my hard drive. THEN, have you ever had trouble with photos sent to you that are too big or too many? Well you can click on Upload to Web and the photos you have selected will be uploaded to Picasaweb connected to your gmail account. Then you have the choice of sharing publicly with everyone or JUST the people that you want to see them. The other person will receive a link in that will bring them to your photos. They have many options such as downloading, ordering prints, watching a slideshow and more. WHAT A GEM and ALL FOR FREE!
My choices are the boldened items below.
  • Mozilla Firefox with Google toolbar - the fastest most customizable browser. I add extensions such as gmail manager to check my gmail accounts. I also like to add IETAB and IE VIEW. Both of these allow you to view a page which you cannot view in Firefox normally.
  • Google photos screensaver
  • Skype - communication with others by internet phone
  • Star Office - A fantastic office suite
  • Google Desktop - if you wish to search from your desktop and do all kinds of other neat things [Uses resources and may slow your machine. Make sure your machine is fast enough.]
  • Adobe Reader - reads pdf files which are the internet standard for documents that you can send and everyone can read them.
  • RealPlayer - if you need it - RealPlayer 11 I believe it is can download almost any movie that you are viewing on YouTube, Google Video or elsewhere!
  • Norton Security Scan - too big and controlling -FORGET ABOUT IT!
  • Spyware Doctor Starter Edition - good if you do not have spyware detection in your security suite
I don't know how anyone can pass up this great and useful software for free! If you want more great gems like this, go to CPEDLEY.COM and look for freeware
