They are always working hard to add new features based on customer needs. One feature I'm waiting for is to save my custom reports. It's not a big dealt though, as they are easy to create\! > > Church Social was put in place for our church (~375 members) two years ago primarily to solve the multiple spreadsheet issue that was our membership statistics. Our elders and deacons were unaware of basic information such as member milestones, names of children, family relationships, etc. As the new statistician, I wanted to solve this issue. I trialed a few other high rated tools including Servant Keeper, but found these tools focused more on overall Church management, something we already had well in hand. Church Social appealed to us as not trying to be everything to everyone, but working hard to enhance member to member communication, and at the same time make member management easier\! Church Social solved the spreadsheet problem and added the benefits of an online secure mobile friendly member directory that is used by many members of our congregation. Visiting a family? Click the address and open up your default map application to get there. Whose birthdays are coming up? Pop in the app and check. Usher schedule? Build it and setup email reminders. Elders, deacons, and members can quickly email the whole congregation or select groups. Bible study resources, bulletins, and sermons can be stored within the app for easy retrieval. While we have not used it yet, Church social offers WordPress integration of calendar and sermon modules for items deemed public. ----- ### "Nice Product, most everything can be at your finger tips." — 5.0/5 > **John** | *9 January 2019* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The congregation can have up to date information all the time. Handy in cell phone use. This product does see new options / features on a very regular basis, so Church Social is getting better all the time. > > **Cons**: There are a few features with regards to printing lists, that still need to be put in place. It currently is meant to be used "on line". > > The benefit we see most...mistakes are caught and solved much easier and more quickly. We have become more organized, as a result of use of Church Social. ----- ### "Community enhancing software\!" — 5.0/5 > **Glenda** | *17 January 2019* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Church Social is a visually attractive, user friendly, community enhancing church membership software\! The numerous features including a colourful member directory, up to date calendar with birthdays and anniversaries, and bulk e-mail tool allow members to interact with one another and stay informed. In addition the schedules feature keeps everyone on task\! From a statisticians point of view, having all the membership data well organized and easily accessible is a huge time saver. The ability to create an almost infinite number of reports allows me to organize the data in a multitude of ways for the benefit of church leaders and interested members. The support is second to none\! Issues and questions are quickly dealt with by the friendly, courteous Church Social team. > > **Cons**: Using this software since it was first developed has given me a great appreciation for the work done by the Church Social team in dealing with any "cons" that may have come up over the years. They have continually looked at ways to improve the software - so much so that I can't think of any cons\! > > Over the years, I have had an extremely positive experience using this software and dealing with the knowledgeable developers. It has had a tremendous overall benefit for our congregation's members, any of whom I am sure, if asked, would not want to be without it anymore\! In addition the church membership data is well organized and accessible keeping everyone from church leaders to administrators happy\! ----- ### "Great App for connecting in the Church" — 5.0/5 > **CALVIN** | *19 February 2019* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Its a great resource all pertinent info regarding members of the congregation is all in one place. Being able to share files, church policies etc in a secure place is great. Members can access as required. Great way to connect with members of the congregation through email messages to individuals, groups, or everyone Detailed member info great for office bearers Able to make worship services (Audio only or Video) available to members or share them with the public via our website which is linked with Church Social Nice church directory The Calendar is a great feature where groups and individuals can post dates for meetings, Bible studies and other important events. Also listed are birthdays and anniversaries. Regular/ongoing improvements to the feature available on Church Social > > **Cons**: It is a minor detail but when sending messages there isn't options for the font used. There is only one font, no ability to change font size, bold or underline. Not a big deal but would be a nice touch if available. > > Church directory info and photos easily updated by the members so the info can always be current unlike a printed directory Uploading files for use by the congregation means less printing, the member can always find the file unlike papers stuffed in a drawer. It is a great tool for our congregation and is used daily (or more often) by most members ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/112008/church-social?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/112008/church-social) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
