Transformative Church Management Tool with Exceptional Support **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Brad C. | Director of Information Technology, Religious Institutions, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 22, 2019 **What do you like best about Churchteams?** We use Churchteams as our Church Management Software, and it really helps streamline tasks, particularly with groups and member management. I love how easy it is to use, and the support team is second to none—responding quickly to any issues we might have. The developers listen to customer feedback, and the software is continually developing. I was blown away by how easy our migration to Churchteams was, thanks to their awesome support staff, and it's very intuitive, so the learning curve is fairly minimal. Their help with providing an API link for our VBS was incredible and increased our giving significantly. Huge UI strides have been made, making the software look more current and appealing. **What do you dislike about Churchteams?** I usually harp on their UI but they have made huge UI strides in the past year that have made the software look more current and more appealing to the end user. **Recommendations to others considering Churchteams:** It is the best value for the price and their support is second to none! **What problems is Churchteams solving and how is that benefiting you?** Churchteams streamlines tasks for groups, member management, and registrations through workflows, while improving communication with members via email and text. Its ease of use and responsive support are standout features, and ongoing UI improvements make it more appealing. **Official Response from Jennifer Coates:** > Hey Brad. Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a detailed review of Churchteams. As a 15+ year customer, you've seen us grow and develop many features in the software. Your experience and feedback are valuable to us as we continue to roll out new church management solutions. Hearing that our UI improvements have landed well is great news - and we are continuing to make more improvements throughout this year. But the best part of your review was your successful VBS giving campaign. Our staff really enjoyed seeing how your church was able to watch live as the numbers grew. We're grateful to you and all of the Central Baptist staff! ### 2. All-in-One Church Management with Fast, Helpful Support **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Julie H. | Office Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 05, 2026 **What do you like best about Churchteams?** The software allows us to accomplish all we need to in one place - recording attendance, sending mass emails or texts, recording donations, and it also allows people to sign up for recurring giving. It provides a church app that people can download and have contact information for our members, update their own contact information, and upload a photo for their profile. Anytime I have a question on how to do something, I email and the response time is incredibly fast and helpful. They also provide helpful videos on how to do different things. **What do you dislike about Churchteams?** Maybe figuring out how to set up automatic follow up for our first time guests. It's partly my fault, because I've been focusing on learning how to do other things with the software, but it has even more potential than I'm currently accessing! **What problems is Churchteams solving and how is that benefiting you?** Creating "groups" to be able to accurately track attendance. It helps me to do all I need to under one platform. Previously we were using Church Windows, Mail Chimp, Vanco, and Planning Center for different things, and now everything is under one platform, which is so nice. **Official Response from Jennifer Coates:** > Hi Julie, Thanks for leaving us such great feedback from your use of Churchteams. We would love to set up a time to show you how to use automations to track and follow up with guests, as well as other automations you'd likely find helpful. We've got great tools to identify people who haven't attended for several weeks and those who might be interested in volunteering. Please contact us at support@churchteams.com to set up a time that's convenient for you. ### 3. Church Teams is easy and fun to use!! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Religious Institutions | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 12, 2024 **What do you like best about Churchteams?** Church Teams is a user-friendly software that is easy to use even for those, like me, who are technology-challenged. We use it for our membership database. We use texting, emails, giving, reports, and many more functions. The website has a HELP option that is very handy. This software is exciting and fun to use. What I like best is the excellent support I get from the help desk. My emailed questions are answered in a very timely manner. Even when I need additional help, those who answer my calls are patient and kind and walk me through my difficulties. Every time I use Church Teams, I find another application that helps my workflow, keeping track of members to touch base with when absences continue. My ministers love the registration function. Church Teams is a game-changer! It provides so many tools to help a church keep up with members, ministries, giving, communication and more. **What do you dislike about Churchteams?** Nothing! Again, this is the easiest software I have used in my entire life! **What problems is Churchteams solving and how is that benefiting you?** Church Teams helps me solve the variety of requests from our membership group. It is a quick and easy application to use when tracking attendance, giving, campaigns, designated donations, etc. I use the communication aspect all the time. It is easy to provide up-to-date ways to contact members when time is critical. **Official Response from Jennifer Coates:** > Thank you for your thoughtful review of Churchteams! It looks like you are enjoying using several of the features in our church management software, and we are glad to hear you love them all! Our Support Desk strives to give tailor-made help to each person we work with, and it looks like you've gotten that level of care we work so hard to give. Thanks again for taking the time to leave your feedback. ### 4. Great Group Texting and Interface, but GroupFinder Logouts and Limited Integrations **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Emma H. | Kids Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 09, 2026 **What do you like best about Churchteams?** I really like the texting feature, I think it's great that you can send something to a large group, or text one on one without having to give everyone your number. I like the group interface for congregant users, I think it is easy to use once you learn about it. **What do you dislike about Churchteams?** It is frustrating when you're trying to use GroupFinder and it logs you out every time. I wish there was a real app or better integrations with the other platforms we currently use. **What problems is Churchteams solving and how is that benefiting you?** It is solving the problem of "how do we organize and communicate with our group members"? With over 200 people in around 40 groups, it does make things easy to track and pay attention to. **Official Response from Jennifer Coates:** > Thanks, Emma, for your review of Churchteams. We love hearing that the church texting feature is making it so easy for you guys to communicate with your church! Our team will follow up with you regarding the error you are experiencing with Groupfinder. We aren't hearing that from our other churches, so I suspect this is something that we can easily resolve for you guys. Please also feel free to contact our support team either by phone or email anytime you have an issue. We personally answer calls (unless our team is on other calls at the time, of course) and respond to emails quickly. Thanks again for using Churchteams and leaving us this feedback. ### 5. Streamlined Church Management with Easy Transition **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Teandra L. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 10, 2026 **What do you like best about Churchteams?** I like that Churchteams is an all-in-one solution. Especially with text messaging, it can get messages out to our members, groups, or teams efficiently. It houses everything at one time, reducing the amount of manual work, which helps alleviate some of the time spent on manual tasks. Also, Churchteams is very usable and user-friendly, allowing multiple people to use it. Setting it up was very easy with the help of Boyd and the team, ensuring a smooth transition. **What do you dislike about Churchteams?** The only thing is in groups if I'm updating, like, payments or questions that we might manually get, because some of our older members are not technology savvy. It refreshes it where you have to go back and find the person. Like, let's say I'm updating they paid $12 and we have to go and update it, it'll refresh it, and I have to go back and find that person. **What problems is Churchteams solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use Churchteams to manage communication, collect tithes, track attendance, handle event registrations, and process payments. It centralizes everything, reducing manual work, especially with text messaging, making it a very helpful all-in-one database. **Official Response from Jennifer Coates:** > Teandra, thanks for the glowing review of Churchteams. We love to hear that church texting through Churchteams is meeting your ministry communication needs! We'd love to help you further on accepting in-person payments for events. Our Support Team can show you the process for accepting payments right in the group and you won't have to click in or out of a person's record. Please give us a call at the Support Desk or email Support@churchteams.com so we can help you make this process better. ### 6. One-Stop Member Data Hub with Fast, Amazing Support **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Religious Institutions | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 10, 2026 **What do you like best about Churchteams?** It is a one stop shop for all member data. It is nice to quickly be able to pull reports, make notes, pull giving data, update member data, and have all member info accessible quickly. The support@churchteams.com has been amazing with all of their assistance and I LOVE how quickly they respond to any questions that we have. Churchteams is also extremely affordable for any size church. **What do you dislike about Churchteams?** It would be great if the monthly payment site was integrated into the main Churchteams database and not on a different site and only accessible to the Financial Administrator to update. I don't know if there are plans to integrate Churchteams with a payment database such as Quickbooks, but that would make it much easier to reconcile payments. Learning Churchteams is overwhelming for a new user. It would be helpful to create a "high level" one stop shop PowerPoint for the different levels of users. The only other issue that I run into is having to email support with a Churchteams error of "recipient address suppressed due to customer policy". **What problems is Churchteams solving and how is that benefiting you?** Before we were using a database that not only cost more but was much more ancient in it's technology. Now we are able to integrate, communicate to different groups, and eventually utilize their check-in system. It really is a one-stop-shop for all church needs. **Official Response from Jennifer Coates:** > Thanks for your detailed review of Churchteams. We are glad to read that you are using Churchteams to connect better with your people and that our Support Team has been a good help to you. We would love to hear from you regarding access to the financial feature. If you are at the administrator level, you should have the access you need to record and view all donor records. While we are not bookkeeping software, we do offer an excellent, efficient report you can import directly into your QB account. We also have an online reconciliation report to help you reconcile donations with your bank statement. If you are looking for further information or I haven't properly addressed the issue you are experiencing, please ask our Support team about this as well as the issue you are having with email templates. The system is designed to always save your last work if it times out after 4 hours. We are happy that you are having great success with communication, groups, and people features, but we really want to make sure that all of the features of the software are just as beneficial. We'd love to help you! Please email us at Support@churchteams.com ### 7. Churchteams is a fantastic church management software **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 09, 2026 **What do you like best about Churchteams?** The online church directory via the Churchteams app or website integration has been so beneficial to our congregation with its ease of access and helpful UI. It has also saved our administrative staff time by allowing our congregants to update their own information in our directory. The app preforms well on any phone that I have installed it on. The desktop UI is also very intuitive from the Staff page. We have integrated our background check software, ProtectMyMinistry, with Churchteams and it has worked very well. We are able to order and check on background checks just be clicking on a user's profile. This has made the organization of this information much easier and much more accessible to our security team. The price for our church we feel is very fair for how much we use it. Their pricing works in tiers which is very reasonable for most church sizes. Upon signing up, we were given many onboarding resources to get us up to speed on how to use the software. The biggest benefit we have found with using Churchteams is the Check-In system for our children's ministry at church. The system is intelligently designed and provides peace of mind for all of our parents/guardians and our workers knowing that our children are safe. There are still so many features that we have not used. I believe the majority of churches would benefit from going with Churchteams for their church management software. **What do you dislike about Churchteams?** There are parts of the UI that can be a bit clunky at times, but nothing that I would actively complain about. With the new interface, I believe Churchteams is heading in the right direction. We also use Churchteams for tracking our offerings, and that system has been a little cumbersome with the way we need to input "batch" giving for a specific Sunday. This probably has more to do with our familiarity with the system rather than an issue with the system itself. **What problems is Churchteams solving and how is that benefiting you?** Online directory - Our directory updates were also so cumbersome and difficult having to track down people to get their updated address and info. It also made printed directories go immediately out of date. With the ability for congregants to update their own information on the directory in real time, this has significantly improved our directory system. Child Check-In - This was actually our initial reason for going with Churchteams. We wanted a check-in software for our children's ministry that was not too corporate feeling while also being professional. Since Churchteams was designed with ministry leaders in mind, this whole process has been very easy. **Official Response from Jennifer Coates:** > Thanks for leaving such a detailed review of Churchteams! We love hearing what is working well for you and what you feel we could do better. We use this information so our development team can continue making improvements where customers like you want to see them! It is so nice to hear that the Check-In feature is providing peace of mind for both your staff and families checking in. We are continuing to make improvements to more areas of the software. In fact, we released newly updated pages just last week. Please never hesitate to contact us if you are experiencing any trouble or just to leave suggestions on how we can better serve your ministry needs. ### 8. Seamlessly Integrates Church Activities in One Platform **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Joseph D. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 04, 2026 **What do you like best about Churchteams?** I use Churchteams for its church database capabilities, which allow me to communicate efficiently with all church members. I appreciate how it handles records of giving and receipts, and also facilitates online giving, making financial management straightforward. I love the seamless cloud-based integration; it solves the problem of accessing everything in one space. I'm impressed that I can log in from my phone or any computer without needing to be tied to a physical location. I really enjoy the complete integration Churchteams offers, serving as a single platform to manage emails, events, groups, registrations, and sign-ins, which is incredibly convenient. The setup was incredibly easy, and they make it very seamless for us. **What do you dislike about Churchteams?** Nothing to add **What problems is Churchteams solving and how is that benefiting you?** Churchteams solves the issue of having everything in one place with its cloud-based system, allowing me to access it from my phone or computer. It streamlines communication, record-keeping, and online giving, while providing complete integration for emails, events, groups, and registrations conveniently. **Official Response from Jennifer Coates:** > Thanks for taking the time to leave such a positive review, Joseph. Sounds like Churchteams is really helping your ministry connect people and keep you connected too! We love hearing that you use Churchteams on the go (from your phone) as well as in the office. ### 9. Transformative Church Management with Exceptional Support **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 10, 2026 **What do you like best about Churchteams?** I love the support and service the Churchteams team provides us. Whenever there is an issue or question, they have been incredibly responsive and helpful. There was one instance where they added a key feature to the software to meet one of our needs. I love the ability to customize attributes and preferences for people registered in the database. We can log into their profile things like spiritual gifts, working genius assessments, 16Personalities, and DISC profiles, which helps us match the right people for the right serving opportunities. The initial transition was great with the help of the Churchteams staff, who used a CSV file to populate most of our membership data, making the process very smooth. **What do you dislike about Churchteams?** Churchteams takes a little bit of time to get used to navigating and operating within. It isn't always intuitive for all generations, so there is a learning curve. I've seen that navigating tools like communicating is not intuitive for all people. Some may find clicking communicate is easier while others go into the group to communicate. But it isn't always as simple as 'This is the preferred method' or 'Least amount of steps'. Another issue would be a way to adjust the timeout when drafting emails. There are times when it takes a while to develop a template or email, and when you are about done or want to send or preview, the system times out and kicks you out. Sometimes it auto-saves right before that and other times you have been working without realizing it isn't being saved. **What problems is Churchteams solving and how is that benefiting you?** Churchteams transformed our outdated, local system into an accessible, up-to-date database, improving membership and giving management. It solved volunteer scheduling issues by automating reminders, ensuring volunteers get timely notifications. It helps us manage community data, volunteer coordination, and communication effectively. **Official Response from Jennifer Coates:** > It's great to hear that you are taking advantage of the custom attributes in the software so that your church can track information for helping match volunteers where they can best serve! That's a fantastic use of our customizations. We also love that our Support Team has been able to help as you've had various needs or help with the software. Thanks for the suggestion on a high-level overview video for each of the access levels - we are in the midst of planning some upcoming resources and I will certainly add this to our list. Thanks for taking the time to leave such great feedback! ### 10. Exceptional Support with Room for UI Improvement **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 05, 2026 **What do you like best about Churchteams?** I really appreciate the solid support from Churchteams' organization. They have a really good support team that responds to issues as we manage the software administratively. I appreciate how they have individuals for all the different aspects of the software, so when I have questions about different aspects of my church ministry, I know there's always someone I can call for support. Every single person on the support team is always cheerful and willing to help with whatever I need. The onboarding process was really great because Boyd was a tremendous support and made the process seamless. **What do you dislike about Churchteams?** I think probably the main thing I would like to see improved is the graphical interface of the software. I know they just upgraded it, but that's just something I think because I came from Planning Center. **What problems is Churchteams solving and how is that benefiting you?** Churchteams helps manage weekly giving, organize special events, and track attendance, streamlining the financial and administrative aspects of church operations. **Official Response from Jennifer Coates:** > We love hearing that our Support team has been such a help to you. Personalized support for your ministry needs is a top priority for us at Churchteams! We'd love to hear from you directly about the interface. It's always helpful to know what our customers feel could be improved and we use that feedback in our development planning. Feel free to reach out to our Support Team and let us know how we can make things easier! ### 11. Efficient, User-Friendly, Stellar Support **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Andre D. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 04, 2026 **What do you like best about Churchteams?** I enjoy the ease of use of Churchteams, which makes things straightforward for me. The support staff is very knowledgeable and kind, which I appreciate a lot. The giving feature is very helpful, allowing me to keep a detailed record of all offerings given to the ministry. The database functionality enables me to effectively connect with those who participate and support the ministry. Additionally, the initial setup was pretty easy, especially with the help of my knowledgeable son and the support team. **What do you dislike about Churchteams?** I have no dislikes **What problems is Churchteams solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use Churchteams to connect with people and keep accurate records of giving. It provides a reliable database to track offerings and maintain connectivity with supporters. **Official Response from Jennifer Coates:** > Hey Andre, Thanks for the positive review of Churchteams. It's good to hear that our online giving tools are making it easy for people to support your ministry. We also love that you are using Churchteams to track discipleship and make connections with people in your community! Always feel free to reach out if you need help with any other features, like our volunteer scheduling or automated workflows. We are happy to help. ### 12. Awesome church management system! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ben S. | Entrepreneur & Business Growth Consultant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 11, 2021 **What do you like best about Churchteams?** They continually are innovating and adding features, without charging upgrade fees! **What do you dislike about Churchteams?** They are pretty responsive to any feedback or request for assistance... so no. **What problems is Churchteams solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are able to QUICKLY identify people who are at risk of falling through the cracks or slipping out the back door. The software helps us identify and engage with them easily! **Official Response from Boyd Pelley:** > Thank you!! ### 13. Flexible and Responsive Church Management Solution **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Juanice W. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 06, 2026 **What do you like best about Churchteams?** I love the flexibility of the software and the outstanding responsiveness of the support team. The reporting capabilities are strong, which is a huge plus for us. **What do you dislike about Churchteams?** For a multi-campus church, the contribution portion could be improved to allow for campus identification to be included in contribution reports. **What problems is Churchteams solving and how is that benefiting you?** Churchteams improves communication, tracks attendance and contributions, and enhances child safety with check-in features. ### 14. Great Service **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Parker R. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 08, 2024 **What do you like best about Churchteams?** I love how helpful Chruch teams was with catering to my needs! They have worked great with me to make this account exactly what my ministry needs **What do you dislike about Churchteams?** There is a leaning curve to using the program but even then they provide so many tutorials that it makes it easy ! **What problems is Churchteams solving and how is that benefiting you?** Signing up for events is so much better **Official Response from Jennifer Coates:** > Thanks for taking the time to leave this feedback for us, Parker. We are glad to hear that the setup is working so well for you. Keep in mind that we offer one-on-one onboarding via Zoom if you prefer that over the video tutorials. ### 15. Comprehensive database with system with excellent customer service. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Stacey W. | Ministry Assistant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 01, 2022 **What do you like best about Churchteams?** We chose ChurchTeams due to their reputation for Customer Support. They have a feedback-rich environment and are regularly making improvements to the database based on customer experience. CT is Christ-focused and people-focused. They view data as a tool for growing God's kingdom. They are continually seeking to improve the system to meet church needs and are very responsive to the client experience. I also like that I can access CT from anywhere, even my phone. **What do you dislike about Churchteams?** Because CT is constantly improving, there are regular updates. For someone like me, who doesn't like change, I have to challenge myself to learn the new features. Ultimately these changes make processes more efficient. **What problems is Churchteams solving and how is that benefiting you?** A few personal examples: I was having trouble finding church members who go by nicknames. (PJ = Philip) After providing feedback, CT added a "legal first name" field and coded the search tool to check both the "first name field" and the "legal first name" field. This improvement made my work a lot easier. The mass update feature has helped make data changes more efficient. CT has also provided best practices to us so we could establish church-wide protocols on how we handle data. For example, what do you do in the database when someone passes away? Not long after our inquiry, CT made coding changes that would trigger data changes (if desired) to make this data process happen automatically. **Official Response from Jennifer Coates:** > We appreciate you taking the time to leave us your review of Churchteams, Stacey. The details help us to know where we have helped you best! I understand how you feel about struggling with change, however, we are glad to see that you value the progress that the software enhancements provide. Continue to let us hear form you - we always enjoy working with you to find new and better strategies. ### 16. Basic enough yet completely customizable **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Bethany M. | Pastor, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 06, 2022 **What do you like best about Churchteams?** The most helpful tool about Churchteams is their customizable attributes. This program can serve the capacity of a large or a very small church because they let each customer change and add what they need to make it work perfectly. I also love their customer service, I've never had a business be so relational and kind- that's priceless! **What do you dislike about Churchteams?** This is hard to answer because there is nothing that's been horrible or that I dislike. Whenever I have a suggestion the leaders/creators either solve it for me by showing me what to do, or they take it into account and add it to their list of things to update in the future. So cool. This is minimal, but it would be so cool for Churchteams to be connected to CCLI in the future so that all communication with worship teams can also include the songs/song sheets. But there are other programs out there that do this! **What problems is Churchteams solving and how is that benefiting you?** We recently created a discipleship program and Churchteams helped me design an accountability system for our disciples within the group structures. It has benefited our church greatly to have support and accountability for those discipling so that they do not feel alone. Churchteams is helping us be pastoral AND structured! **Official Response from Jennifer Coates:** > It's great to hear that the customization of Churchteams is really working so well for you - from member attributes to tracking discipleship progress. We appreciate you taking the time to leave such great, detailed feedback for us, Bethany. We enjoy working with you! ### 17. Well Priced and Easy to Use **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Charlene M. | Assistant Pastor, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 06, 2022 **What do you like best about Churchteams?** Churchteams was very easy for us to learn and get started with. The team is excellent. They were very helpful in getting us set up. If we ever have questions, they are there to answer and/or walk us through. I love that they have a built-in means of communication, email and text messaging; we no longer need to use another program for emails or texting. We can set up our own keywords to use TextToChurch. **What do you dislike about Churchteams?** I wouldn't say I "dislike" the workflows, but they are not quite as intuitive to use. There are some ways I would like to use the option. However, I have not yet figured out how to make it work. Admittedly, I have not reached out for help yet, so there may be a way to make it happen. **What problems is Churchteams solving and how is that benefiting you?** Churchteams provides us a means to easily communicate with our small congregation, set up Events, track attendance, and handle online giving. We can run any of the built-in reports as well as create our own reports that are special to our needs. Also, it allows us to customize information for our members. **Official Response from Jennifer Coates:** > Sandy, thanks for taking the time to leave us details on what you love most about Churchteams. We are glad to hear that the setup was easy for your church and that communication with your members has been simplified! We would love to set up a call with you to get you going on workflow automation - we think you will love the ease of several things there, from scheduled reports you won't have to pull yourself to automated communication for birthdays and even first-time guests! Contact our Support team if you are interested in learning and we'll get you going right away! ### 18. Automated Long Processes For Us! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Rebekah L. | Campus Pastor, On Campus Ministry and Local Engagement Coordinator, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 15, 2022 **What do you like best about Churchteams?** We've used CT at APU for years now. And there are many reasons why! I am so grateful to CT for their 1-1 customer service, personal approach, patience, and flexibility AND creativity with us as we have sought to utilize this platform for our mentoring program. They worked with us to make it happen when it hadn't been done before. We really appreciate their kindness and perspective on ministry. APU LOVES CHURCH TEAMS! **What do you dislike about Churchteams?** It's not always easy to get a rep on the phone these days. Ya'll must be poppin! However, the detailed emails have been life-savers. Also, the time difference in calling hours is PST... not bad... just something to consider. AKA--Why not have an LA chapter?! LOL. **What problems is Churchteams solving and how is that benefiting you?** I can't think of any problems that CT is solving currently. In the past, they helped us figure out how to have a profile page for mentors, which was a new idea. **Official Response from Jennifer Coates:** > Thanks for letting us know how we are doing Rebekah. I love seeing how your University uses Churchteams Groups and Registrations for their mentoring program. Glad to hear that the emails are working out for you, but we love talking with you too so we hope to get you on the phone should you need us in the near future - although I'm not opposed to representing that East Coast office! ### 19. Great tool and supportive team **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Patricia P. | Director of Ministries, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 05, 2022 **What do you like best about Churchteams?** I love that we have all our info in one place and can easily see what groups, ministries, etc. people are involved in. The notes are great for being able to update when we follow-up with someone. We use it to track attendance and membership for our small groups and I use it to reach out to my various groups. We also use it for financials however I'm not involved in that aspect. **What do you dislike about Churchteams?** I still have trouble getting some of our folks to update their info even though churchteams is so easy! **What problems is Churchteams solving and how is that benefiting you?** Besides small group and ministry tracking, assimilation. We use the workflow to track visitors and route their info to the appropriate leader depending upon what box they checked. **Official Response from Jennifer Coates:** > We love hearing that having your data in one place has made your ministry processes easier. The notes are also one of my favorite features and so useful for tracking information and alerting staff. It's great to hear you are enjoying workflows as well. Thank you for taking the time to leave us this great review of Churchteams Patricia! ### 20. Very happy! **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Melonie C. | Executive Pastor, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 11, 2021 **What do you like best about Churchteams?** The ease of finding information and creating member records as well as registrations. The text to features are life-changing. Despite not having an app, the mobile web browser version is user-friendly. **What do you dislike about Churchteams?** Not being able to delete multiple texts from my "inbox" despite the responses not being for me. For example, our lead pastor send out a "Happy Thanksgiving," and 88 people responded. I had to manually go into each and every text and clear them. **What problems is Churchteams solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have gotten more people to register for events, fill out connection cards, and even send prayer requests by going digital. Everything being based on groups helps to minimize the need for lists and groups and registrations. We can do all 3 in one **Official Response from Boyd Pelley:** > Thank you for doing this review! ### 21. Powerful platform for any size church **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jeff R. | Executive Pastor, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 11, 2022 **What do you like best about Churchteams?** The thing I like the most about church teams is that it is web-based making it accessible from anywhere, it is easy to use, and there is quick access to help if you need it. **What do you dislike about Churchteams?** Would love some sort of app. Using it on a mobile browser is a bit clunky, but doable. **Recommendations to others considering Churchteams:** If you are looking for an intuitive web-based church management system look no further. We've been using Church Teams for 10 years and would never consider anything else. **What problems is Churchteams solving and how is that benefiting you?** ChurchTeams puts almost all our data in one place- member database, online giving, sign-ups for events, groups, and classes. It makes it easy to run reports and figure out where our folks are finding community. **Official Response from Jennifer Coates:** > Thanks for taking the time to leave us this detailed review Jeff. We find that so many of our users, like you, really appreciate having their data in one place. This saves both money and time, not having to sync data between multiple applications. We would like to hear more about your experience with the mobile version of Churchteams so that we might work to improve that. Give our Support team a call so that we can help! ### 22. Church Plant Looking for Organization! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Chelsea P. | Physical Therapist, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 13, 2022 **What do you like best about Churchteams?** How user friendly the system is, and the communication features! Being able to mass text and email easily is very important for a mobile church with ever changing locations and needs! **What do you dislike about Churchteams?** I wish the scheduling piece was not quite so linked to groups- ie you could add anyone in the system to the schedule without having to place them in a specific group first **What problems is Churchteams solving and how is that benefiting you?** They continuously update their texting features which has been very helpful to our church! Keeping everyone connected is an important part to growing a new church so we appreciate that! The tier pricing is also nice so that churches trying to grow can save some $ **Official Response from Jennifer Coates:** > Thank you Chelsea! It was great to read your feedback and see that communication with Churchteams has been a useful tool for your Church! It's good to also see that you are using the volunteer scheduling feature. We offer a way to add people right from the Volunteer Scheduling page. If you'd like some assistance with that, or learning any other shortcuts with Volunteer Scheduling, such as copying schedules to multiple dates, contact our Support teams - we are happy to help! Thanks again for letting us hear from you. ### 23. Churchteams has been useful for our church! **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Avery L. | IT Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 08, 2022 **What do you like best about Churchteams?** The support team is always very responsive and willing to help with any issues. Most of the time the issues have to do with a learning curve more than any bugs or other issues. **What do you dislike about Churchteams?** I would love if Churchteams had a better checkout option for their kids checkin system. Also, the learning curve is a little steep with the software but once you have a basic understanding of what it can do it's really useful. :) **What problems is Churchteams solving and how is that benefiting you?** Churchteams is benefitting us here in many ways. The biggest one is the online giving/payment aspect which is a tremendous advantage to us as an organization of 800 regular attendees we were still using cash/check/paypal. ### 24. Functional and Easy to Use **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jeff M. | Co-Director/Pastor, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 22, 2022 **What do you like best about Churchteams?** As a user of Churchteams, I like the software's simplicity and efficiency. Our church, small group, and worship team have greatly benefited from the organization of the volunteer system. The customer service is fantastic and personable. **What do you dislike about Churchteams?** I have not found anything in Churchteams that doesn't work for our church. **What problems is Churchteams solving and how is that benefiting you?** The organization of volunteers, even for the smallest church like us, is always challenging! However, Churchteams has proven beneficial to streamline our childcare workers and our worship team members. It provides users and members to have proper communication and confidently know when they are supposed to volunteer. **Official Response from Jennifer Coates:** > Thank you for your review of Churchteams. We love hearing how you are benefitting from the Volunteer and Communications features of our church management software! ### 25. Churchteams has been a blessing to VCB **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Arlona S. | Media Arts and Technology Assistant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 08, 2022 **What do you like best about Churchteams?** Churchteams has been so easy to use. The initial upload of information was all handled for us and easy, the transition was seamless, and the experience has been user-friendly to our pastors and congregation! We combined a few databases into one, which our administrative staff loves. We also have found their system of following up with people to be easy to prevent people from slipping through the cracks. When we have had any questions or aren't sure how to do something their team has responded right away about **What do you dislike about Churchteams?** In Churchteams everything is a group. Small groups, skills, interests, special events, email lists with restricted members, etc. All of them are groups. It would be nice to have another way to categorize people, such as a tag or an email list that people couldn't join themselves for our prayer team or something similar. This is both the greatest strength and the biggest weakness of Churcteams. It has taken a lot of adjustment time for my staff to understand that EVERYTHING is a group. **What problems is Churchteams solving and how is that benefiting you?** We used to have to use multiple databases. One for event registration, one for sending group emails, one for a directory, and one for our main database with giving details and notes. Churchteams has combined all of that into one database, and it is much easier for our staff than any other databases we were using. **Official Response from Jennifer Coates:** > Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, Arlona. It's great to hear that Churchteams has allowed your staff to consolidate your data into one software where you can handle most of your regular tasks. We also appreciate the feedback regarding groups. We have recently added Tags to a few of our features and we look forward to expanding that further. ### 26. I heartily recommend ChurchTeams to any size church. They have Apple type Customer Service. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Eric D. | L, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 27, 2021 **What do you like best about Churchteams?** Hard to pinpoint one thing. Customer Service is AMAZING. I love the texting to register, from church for mass messages and group messages. The volunteer scheduling is fantastic. Yeah hard to pick just one. **What do you dislike about Churchteams?** The interface could be bit more modernized and a mobile app for Android and iPhone would be a huge boon. **Recommendations to others considering Churchteams:** You cannot beat the price for the included features. The text to and from church is fantastic, the ability to automate communication with guests and others using workflows is fantastic and finally scheduling volunteers with automatic reminders is a game changer. **What problems is Churchteams solving and how is that benefiting you?** The greatest benefit is the ability to automate communication with workflows. This means that you may register someone for a group that you have created (such as first-time guests) and the program will follow a workflow that you create. Text 2 days from a new record. Email 4 days, etc. enter into follow up group... **Official Response from Boyd Pelley:** > Thank you for the nice review. We're with you on the interface upgrade. That's next!! ### 27. The Churchteams platform makes communication with our congregation so much easier. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Bryant O. | Senior Pastor, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 06, 2022 **What do you like best about Churchteams?** The 'upsides' of using the Churchteams platform is that it is accessible. The UI is easy to navigate. The email templates are awesome. The text-to-church feature allows for speedy and direct communication. **What do you dislike about Churchteams?** The only downside to the ChurchTeams platform is that it is not readily mobile accessible. A ChurchTeams App would be very friendly and add to our workflow potential. **What problems is Churchteams solving and how is that benefiting you?** The single biggest business solution through the ChurchTeams platform is the ability to organize congregant information. ChurchTeams allows for an on-demand directory of members, guests, prospective members, families, singles, etc. **Official Response from Jennifer Coates:** > We love to hear that the templates and text-to-church features are working well in your ministry, Bryant! Thank you for taking the time to leave us this review of Churchteams. Although we don't have an app that you download through the app store, have you had a chance to save the site to your phone's home screen so that you are able to access Churchteams more easily? This is one way you can access Churchteams while on your phone. ### 28. Functionality because of flexability **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Dan P. | Admin, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 06, 2022 **What do you like best about Churchteams?** The ability to communicate with appropriate groups of people based on filters using multiple methods. **What do you dislike about Churchteams?** The only downside I have experienced is that the flexibility in establishing member parameters and settings can get confusing at times. The various support aspects are a great help but ultimately you have to dive in and make some mistakes. **What problems is Churchteams solving and how is that benefiting you?** They have provided check in tools that are extremely helpful but we still struggle with getting people to use them. **Official Response from Jennifer Coates:** > Hey Dan, thanks for the great feedback. It's good to hear you enjoy the flexibility of our powerful filters used throughout the software! We would love to discuss your membership settings. The great thing about Churchteams is the ability to customize. Sometimes, a little trial and error gets you where you want to be, but our Support Team is always happy to help you through that! ### 29. Simply the best church management platform. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Chris A. | Pastor, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 13, 2022 **What do you like best about Churchteams?** Simplicity. We are a small church and we often have people cycle through who need access to some part of the church management software. I have never had to train anyone, it is that simple and intuitive. **What do you dislike about Churchteams?** The simple looking GUI isn't going to impress anyone. But it works and I love it! **What problems is Churchteams solving and how is that benefiting you?** Management of church giving reports. Everything is just so easy. **Official Response from Jennifer Coates:** > Thanks Chris, for taking the time to leave this review of Churchteams! It's great to hear that your ministry leaders and volunteers are able to jump in and easily use the software without you having to do any training - that is a great time-saver for you! Keep in mind that we are always happy to show anyone around the software and answer any questions should anyone need a little boost. Our Support team is always here to help! ### 30. They keep improving it **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** J Patrick M. | Administrative Assistant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 05, 2022 **What do you like best about Churchteams?** This is a very useful online database for our church. **What do you dislike about Churchteams?** I think the functionality is beyond what our church leadership really wants to use. **What problems is Churchteams solving and how is that benefiting you?** Churchteams helps us keep track of everyone in the community, including their contributions; this works much better than written cards that have to be added up at the end of the year. **Official Response from Jennifer Coates:** > Thanks for taking the time to leave us your review of Churchteams. It is great to hear that the Contributions feature has been helpful to your ministry! ### 31. Churchteams is the best ChMS on the market. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Reid H. | Executive Pastor, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 10, 2021 **What do you like best about Churchteams?** Churchteams is easy to use and they have the best customer service. **What do you dislike about Churchteams?** I don't have any major complaints about Churchteams. It is a great system. **Recommendations to others considering Churchteams:** If you are looking for a great Church Management System, look no further. I am confident you will be pleased with Churchteams. **What problems is Churchteams solving and how is that benefiting you?** Churchteams has helped us manage our church membership perfectly. It is the right solution for our church. **Official Response from Jennifer Coates:** > Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review, Reid. ### 32. The perfect ChMS is being used by the perfect church. For everyone else there's ChurchTeams. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Nick F. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 12, 2018 **What do you like best about Churchteams?** Churchteam's revolutionary Text-to-Church feature has been a total game changer. It's fast, it's easy, and it's on demand - no websites to navigate, no emails to find, no texts to scroll. It has drastically reduced check-in times and greatly simplified group registrations. Best of all it's backed by industry-leading customer support. If your ministry is not utilizing this new, powerful tool, you are missing out. **What do you dislike about Churchteams?** There isn't anything I dislike at this time regarding ChurchTeams. In fact, I have been vocal since 2015 about the fact that Churchteams customer service is world-class, certainly the very best in the ChMS industry. They listen to their customers! **Recommendations to others considering Churchteams:** Don't wait. Plan and make the switch. In fact, CT makes the switch easy and pleasant. I was very concerned about moving years of data from ACS, but CT made it simple and handled the entire process. Thank you! **What problems is Churchteams solving and how is that benefiting you?** ChMS, life group reporting, registration for ministries, children check-in, children security, contributions reporting, fundraising, church-wide and group communication and many more. **Official Response from Boyd Pelley:** > Thanks Nick. It is a privilege to serve you guys. ### 33. Churchteams is the best for our church! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Palmyra Grace S. | Secretary, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 13, 2021 **What do you like best about Churchteams?** Their support team is excellent! It is wonderful to be able to do everything in one place and have all our leaders and staff be able to access that data when they need it. It has streamlined our communications with email & text, sign-ups and keeps contact info for our members up to date. Child Check-in labels has been a huge help for our Children's ministry, during our services and special events. **What do you dislike about Churchteams?** I wish our worship team would use churchteams but they don't because there isnt music attached and they can't do the order of the service. Other than that it does everything we need. **Recommendations to others considering Churchteams:** If you want a wonderful database and communication sytem for your church then I highly recommend churchteams. **What problems is Churchteams solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have streamlined communication with email, text, sign ups and workflows. Check-in with labels has been amazing. I like how many ways to sign up with links and text words to use. When someone asks if we can do a certain thing, churchteams has never failed and has the ability to do it. **Official Response from Boyd Pelley:** > Thank you so much for this great review! ### 34. We finally found a tool that checks all our boxes and has not been difficult to implement. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Religious Institutions | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 15, 2022 **What do you like best about Churchteams?** The support folks are the best. They are knowledgeable and responsive to our needs. We don't have to wait long for help. We evaluated several others, and this one far exceeds the others in functionality from both the membership and financial sides. The ability for group leaders to easily access the database and keep track is a plus. The robust email capability is the best on the market. **What do you dislike about Churchteams?** That you cannot customize the user access levels a bit more. I'd like to see a more robust volunteer sign-up application. Misspellings are not always getting flagged. **What problems is Churchteams solving and how is that benefiting you?** Consolidation of membership data. Consolidation of financial data. Consolidation of event registrations. Visitor tracking and follow-up. Integrated robust email capability. It all feeds our current ministry emphasis on Strengthening Holistic Stewardship. **Official Response from Jennifer Coates:** > Thanks for leaving your review. It's great to hear that Churchteams is empowering the leaders in your church and best of all, all your data is kept consolidated into one system that is easily accessible to those who need it. We appreciate the feedback about further customizing user access. Feel free to touch base with our Support team on your specific needs so that we can pass that on to Development as a consideration. ### 35. Great Experience So Far **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Terence H. | Executive Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 09, 2022 **What do you like best about Churchteams?** The text-to-church feature and the customer service. They are very helpful and accommodating to our needs. **What do you dislike about Churchteams?** It is not bad but the interface could be more user-friendly. **What problems is Churchteams solving and how is that benefiting you?** It is enabling us to connect with the public through text and QR codes. Is a great forward facing tool. **Official Response from Jennifer Coates:** > Thanks for leaving us a review Terance. We are glad to hear that Text-to-Church has been a useful tool for your ministry. We also wanted to thank you for the UI feedback, as we plan to make this a bit more user-friendly soon. ### 36. Great Experience **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Religious Institutions | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 13, 2022 **What do you like best about Churchteams?** It allows us quick and easy response from the congregation **What do you dislike about Churchteams?** It can be confusing telling the congregation how to make changes to their information. **What problems is Churchteams solving and how is that benefiting you?** It allows us to encourage participation in church sponsored events. **Official Response from Jennifer Coates:** > We love to hear that your congregation is using the communication tool and registration features of Churchteams to get involved! For help with getting members to update their information, all they need to do is text ME to your Text-to-Church number, click the name of the family they want to update and save any changes. We recommend that you post this info and the ME keyword so they can easily see it regularly, such as on your website, worship screen, and bulletin. Let our Support team know how we can help! ### 37. Technology, data and administration is ministry! And Churchteams makes everything possible! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Religious Institutions | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 16, 2022 **What do you like best about Churchteams?** Churchteams is so intuitive. It's intelligent, fun, and effective for your church's ministry. The staff at Churchteams genuinely cares about each person and client. **What do you dislike about Churchteams?** Churchteams has made needed improvements to the Service Volunteers part of their software, and they continue to improve that section. I think it will be better in the near future. **What problems is Churchteams solving and how is that benefiting you?** Our team has taken many ideas/questions/problems to the staff at Churchteams, and they have listened and made changes for the better every time. Each update has made daily usage easier. **Official Response from Jennifer Coates:** > Thank you for taking the time to leave your review! We are glad to hear that our updates have been helpful to your staff. We have made recent changes to our Volunteer Scheduling feature, even in just this last month in an effort to provide better communication with your volunteers and leaders. Great feedback from our customers helps us to anticipate updates that will meet ever-changing ministry needs. ### 38. Great platform **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Religious Institutions | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 13, 2022 **What do you like best about Churchteams?** Financial reporting is very useful. Event registration has also been great. **What do you dislike about Churchteams?** It takes time to learn your way around the program. **What problems is Churchteams solving and how is that benefiting you?** Creating a place for all of my data. **Official Response from Jennifer Coates:** > Thank you for leaving us a review! ### 39. Great software for our church **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Religious Institutions | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 11, 2021 **What do you like best about Churchteams?** ChurchTeams is user friendly and assists our pastors and ministry leaders in connecting with people in the congregation **What do you dislike about Churchteams?** In their effort to diminish administrative work...the software causes the administrator to do more merging of records. However...the payoff is worth this extra work. **Recommendations to others considering Churchteams:** Church Teams is very user friendly and is a great support for our Pastors. They can easily access Church Teams on their phone for a quick look up of a congregants info or get a 360 degree view of the whole family. The reports are robust with the capability to pull out all kinds of info. Support is top notch and available to assist with any question. **What problems is Churchteams solving and how is that benefiting you?** Ease of access for our congregation with registrations, small group connections, and giving. **Official Response from Boyd Pelley:** > Thank you for doing this review! ### 40.

It could be a little more user-friendly. **What problems is Churchteams solving and how is that benefiting you?** Churchteams gave us the perfect opportunities for our congregation to register during covid. We continue to use the text to register function when we have events we need to track registration for. **Official Response from Boyd Pelley:** > Thanks Liz. We have worked to become the leading provider of fully integrated (non-3rd party) communication tools. Text-to-Church in particular has become the leading edge in this area for all of us. And ... UI is next up on our road map!! ### 41. Best software and customer service experience! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 13, 2021 **What do you like best about Churchteams?** User-friendly, excellent customer service, offers a variety of services **What do you dislike about Churchteams?** No real dislikes at this time as they are constantly making improvements based on user feedback.

Excellent Church Management Solution **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Gary S. | Associate Pastor, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 26, 2021 **What do you like best about Churchteams?** The software has grown in capability over the years. What first caught my attention was the ease for small group leaders to report their meeting attendance. This gave us much better insight into what was happening in our small groups. **What do you dislike about Churchteams?** The software does so much more and therefore has become a little more complicated to use. All the information is there but it may take a little time to sort through the menu's to find what you are looking for. This is not so much a problem as a reality that comes with a full church management software package. **What problems is Churchteams solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use Churchteams to track small group and Sunday moring attendance, keep track of missing members, record and track financial giving, and so much more. **Official Response from Boyd Pelley:** > Thank you, Gary. ### 43. My experiences with ChurchTeams has been only positive. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ronda A. | Church Administrator, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 11, 2021 **What do you like best about Churchteams?** They are very helpful when emailed a question. I have never gone more than 24 hours without a response and many time get a response the same day. **What do you dislike about Churchteams?** Merging families throught the entire alphabet is difficult **What problems is Churchteams solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are currently creating an online Connection Card that will be most helpful with our database management. Reporting from Groups and Financial Reporting has been easy to explain to other staff. ### 44. A pleasant experience **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 12, 2022 **What do you like best about Churchteams?** Text-to-church capability, customer service, involvement of co-founders **What do you dislike about Churchteams?** Nothing! Boyd and Mark are so responsive and collaborative with their users and they are always surprising us with amazing updates. **Recommendations to others considering Churchteams:** Make sure to attend one of Boyd's live webinars during your decision process. **What problems is Churchteams solving and how is that benefiting you?** We were a new startup church four years ago and Churchteams made it easy to get started with a great database from the beginning. ### 45. ChurchTeams makes our jobs easier! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Religious Institutions | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 18, 2021 **What do you like best about Churchteams?** The text-to-church functionality is incredible. We have used it for everything from giving to group sign-ups, and most recently even to send people to things like the bible app! **What do you dislike about Churchteams?** The most frequent thing we have heard is that the user interface for giving is not the best. More specifically, it is difficult for members to change their recurring gifts. Rather than just updating the amount or the frequency, you have to cancel one recurring donation altogether and start a brand new one with the new amount/frequency. **What problems is Churchteams solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have utilized automation for first-time guest connections by setting reminders for leaders to follow up with guests. We have also developed an excellent prayer ministry by utilizing text-to-church, allowing our church members to send in their prayer requests directly to the prayer team at any time and from anywhere. **Official Response from Boyd Pelley:** > Thanks for nice review and upgrade idea! ### 46. Good software. EXCELLENT service **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Adam C. R. | Principal Consultant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 11, 2021 **What do you like best about Churchteams?** The customer service team is fantastic. They respond quickly, offer solutions, take suggestions are fun folks. Texting features (especially text-to-church) are fabulous. Excellent for managing groups. Pricing is very good, especially for a smaller church. Love having the complete interface on my phone without an external app to get in the way. **What do you dislike about Churchteams?** I'd like to see calendar integration and a more intuitive scheduling system, especially when it comes to templates and recurring events. It's been difficult for my leaders to implement. **What problems is Churchteams solving and how is that benefiting you?** Team communication (worship, Christian Ed). CRM features for contacting and logging interactions with parishioners is a nice plus. **Official Response from Boyd Pelley:** > Thank you for doing this review! ### 47. Database, Check-in, Workflows - Tools Galore! **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Joshua M. | Discipleship Minister, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 27, 2021 **What do you like best about Churchteams?** The flexible database allows you to create any type of sign-in, record any number of data entries, and search for any parameter you might think of. As a database, Churchteams is top-notch! The group database is great and has the flexibility to be used for any number of other tasks. ChurchTeams is a truly spectacular sandbox for community data entry. **What do you dislike about Churchteams?** I want a more intuitive workflow system that would allow me to track the discipleship progress of our Church Members. Although these values can be recorded under personal profiles, it would be great to be able to put them at the top of the flow and have them move through it with a click of a button! **What problems is Churchteams solving and how is that benefiting you?** We've used Churchteams to develop a small group coaching structure, track a variety of church metrics, and provide meaningful follow-up with first-time attenders. While it's not initially apparent, CT has so many tools that can be adapted for a variety of different tasks. ### 48. Best, most intuitive and cost efficient church database around **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Marty M. | associate pastor, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 27, 2021 **What do you like best about Churchteams?** This is a user-friendly, intuitive database. I learned how to get started on the basics with their sample database and teaching videos. We have had multiple users learn on their own how to create the different setups needed for check-in, sign-ups, finances, small groups, etc. We had two different systems prior to churchteams, including a high priced, well known, fancy system that even flew out a person to help train us but still made little sense due to the use of their own language that in no way connected with church ministry on the ground. Runner up reason is the customer service. They are always available and have even changed things in their programming at our request, which we never would have expected. It is unusual how good the customer care is. **What do you dislike about Churchteams?** We have yet to discover a downside. The only thing I'd say is that we don't use it in the "teams" based way that they have created which opens the door for all church member access. **Recommendations to others considering Churchteams:** If you are looking for a usable church database, this is the one! **What problems is Churchteams solving and how is that benefiting you?** Churchteams solved the problem of database systems that aren't user friendly. With past systems we could at best get one administrative person up to speed on how it works. This allows our administrator, any staff, and even needed volunteers who do a specific function to use the system. We use it for small groups, general church roster, ministry teams, individual and recurring events, childrens ministry check in, communication, and finances. ### 49. An awesome communication and church management tool! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Keith I. | Lead pastor, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 27, 2021 **What do you like best about Churchteams?** Churchteams allows us to have access everywhere all the time. To track attendance, communicate to others and move people through the steps of discipleship. **What do you dislike about Churchteams?** The only thing that would make Churchteams better is if they also developed an app or a more text type way of responding to text messages. **Recommendations to others considering Churchteams:** Instead of trying to piece your church management software together from a number of different services and end up paying a lot more for things that don't work together - try out Churchteams.com for free! And I guarantee once you use it - you'll want to keep using it. It only gets better as the team there is constantly improving their software based on needs we have emailed requesting. **What problems is Churchteams solving and how is that benefiting you?** Primarily it is our go to resource for communicating with people according to their individual desires. But their text to give functionality makes reviving and tracking donations easy. ### 50. All-Encompassing Program **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Movement C. | Operations Coordinator, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 12, 2021 **What do you like best about Churchteams?** What I like best about ChurchTeams is how helpful their customer service is. ChurchTeams is an all-encompassing program that has many facets. We can manage a wide range of data with this particular application (attendance, membership, tithing, pledges, groups, etc.) While it may be intimidating at first, Church Teams offers free educational resources so you can get the most out of your subscription. **What do you dislike about Churchteams?** While ChurchTeams has been extremely helpful with their capabilities, they still some areas of improvement. For example, their ability to communicate between pledges and tithing needs significant improvement. We recently conducted a capital campaign, and every single commitment had to be manually entered by an administrator in our office. Ideally, Churchteams will continue to make updates, which they have proven they are committed to. **What problems is Churchteams solving and how is that benefiting you?** Before ChurchTeams, we had no way of reporting data. By incorporating ChurchTeams into our day-to-day office functions, we can report tithing by individuals, by households, by month, by year - the possibilities are endless. We can now use this data to gather educated guesses regarding the future of our organization and our general budgets. ## Churchteams Discussions - [What is Churchteams used for?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-churchteams-used-for) - 1 comment - [View Churchteams pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/churchteams/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-06-13+18%3A14%3A53+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=a606f644-5def-4c12-81be-183c8208258d&secure%5Btoken%5D=e604568c91098772b5bb9b7683c3bf3d6175c70216c49df79646c41113ca7b48&format=llm_user) ## Churchteams Features **Administration** - Reporting - Interaction Tracking - Automation - Donor Profiles **Administration** - User Dashboard - Donor Profiles - Reporting - Templates - Customization **Volunteer Management** - Opportunity Listings - Volunteer Tracking - Volunteer Scheduling - Volunteer Profiles - Document Management **Platform Basics** - Membership Tracking - Donation Management - Congregation Communication - Event Planning **Fundraising** - Campaign Management - Online Donation Portal - Event Planning - Recurring Donations - Peer-to-peer Fundraising - Mobile Capabilities **Donor Management** - Moves Management - Pledge Tracking - E-Document Storage - Acknowledgments & Communications **Engagement & Communication Tools** - Mass Messaging - Donation Pages - Mobile Application **Platform Additional Functionality** - People Management Specific Tools - Event Management Specific Tools **Marketing** - Email Marketing - Direct Mail Tools **Interoperability** - Event Tracking - Gift Tracking - Fund Accounting **Administration** - CRM Integration - Dashboards & Analytics **Agentic AI - Church Management** - Autonomous Task Execution - Cross-system Integration - Natural Language Interaction - Proactive Assistance ## Top Churchteams Alternatives - [Breeze ChMS](https://www.g2.com/products/yourgiving-inc-breeze-chms/reviews) - 4.8/5.0 (127 reviews) - [Bloomerang CRM](https://www.g2.com/products/bloomerang-crm/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (878 reviews) - [Neon CRM](https://www.g2.com/products/neon-one-llc-neon-crm/reviews) - 4.2/5.0 (422 reviews)
