Software that Manages your Church’s Money

Money can be stressful to think about. If you’re a church administrator, you may have quite a good deal of money to manage. This includes tithes, offerings, and donations of various kinds. Then you need to decide where that money goes: toward paying bills, funding ministries, etc. Fortunately for you, there are affordable and easy-to-use software platforms out there that can help you organize data and manage money. Here are some that our church communicators recommend:

Planning Center Giving

Planning Center Giving can help you efficiently manage your church members’ donations. It creates a profile for each user and analyzes the data to help you understand donation activity. Planning Center Giving offers the following functional features:

  • It exports Data
  • Covers Processing Fees
  • Deposits Checks Remotely
  • Protects Donor Data
  • Allows for Mobile Giving

“We use Planning Center Giving to keep track of member contributions, to send out member contribution statements, and for online donations/text-to-give. I really like it. It’s super easy to use.” – Kate Kelly

Power Church Plus

Power Church Plus helps you manage contributions, accounting, event scheduling, and general record-keeping in one church administration software package. It’s complete and user-friendly. It also comes at a low price, making it easy for anyone to purchase.

“We use Power Church. It can get very in-depth which is good and bad. But it does so much and creates a lot of helpful reports.” – Mary Werger
