"Our CMS software for 15 years and counting"
5/5
What do you like best about PowerChurch Plus?

The PowerChurch software is an all-inclusive church management software (accounting, membership, check-in, donation tracking, etc.). We like that it's all in one package. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PowerChurch Plus?

The accounting software is more difficult to use than Quickbooks, and the interface is a little dated. They seem to add new technological features after other major CMS programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Program for Nursery Check In"
5/5
What do you like best about PowerChurch Plus?

I use Power Church primarily for their child check in system. It makes it very easy to make sure kids are safe and secure, and that we know specifics about our kids (allergies, parent safety information, etc.). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PowerChurch Plus?

The one issue I run into with Power Church is that the data entry requires a little bit of run around when it comes to pulling up names. For instance, I have a blended family that has one child with a different last name than the other members. If my workers go to search for this person, they don't find it under the family name. A way to connect those would be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"PowerChurch Plus: Good intentions, difficult interface"
3.5/5
What do you like best about PowerChurch Plus?

It's relatively simple to track different class structures and age groups. When inputting new profiles, the filled forms are very distinct and distinguishable.

It's also possible to select multiple classes/grades at the same time by specifying the range of class codes sought. This does become one of my most frustrating pieces, though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PowerChurch Plus?

If you don't have each group's ID number or class code written down/memorized, it's difficult to navigate. I have spent several fruitless hours trying to track down a certain age group or class only to find that I didn't have the correct class code.

It's also difficult to specify classes, even with the right codes: the format requires you to select a range of class codes, which can be frustrating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Power Church advantage!"

The developers have certainly had experience with what people need! I am always pleased to find the exact report I need without having to resort to the custom templates Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PowerChurch Plus?

Creating a custom report requires some programming knowledge and there isn't a lot in the help menu when you get struck. I wish the custom reports were easier to create Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Works ok but confusing..."
1/5
What do you like best about PowerChurch Plus?

If used to full capacity, this software has most of the functions a church needs -- from financials to member directory to order of service to newsletters, PowerChurch tries to do it all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PowerChurch Plus?

Confusing, crashes regularly, unfriendly interface with only a couple colors, not graphically pleasing, the various functions are not easily distinguished or learned, poor help, no technical manual that I have seen. When I called in for assistance the tech was curt and dismissive. I've been told that there are additional charges with requests for online assistance so I avoided it after my first call -- no point in paying someone who doesn't want to talk to me.
