Software For Church Plants
Planting a church is exhilarating (and exhausting). You need a tool that helps you care for people, track finances, and build your church's website. You don't have the time (or budget) to manage five different tools.

The Reality of Other Church Planting Tools
Most church management platforms are designed for established churches with a full-time staff and large budgets. Planters are often left trying to adapt tools that were never built for them.
This results in:
- Disconnected Systems
- Scattered data
- Multiple logins
- Volunteer confusion
- Hours lost to admin instead of ministry
ChMS Features Church Planters Need
In order for a church plant to grow, it needs to have a system for storing member data, managing events, tracking church finances, and fostering a web presence.
People Management & Communication
ChurchTrac People keeps your launch team, members, guests, and prospects organized from the very beginning. You can sen emails, texts, and push notifications to your entire church or specific groups within your church using a single church platform.
Online Giving & Church Finances
You can accept online tithes, track donations, and generate contribution statements with ChurchTrac Giving. Add on Accounting to manage funds, expenses, and ministry budgets without syncing data between multiple systems. Everything works natively.
Attendance, Registrations, & Child Check-In

We run everything through ChurchTrac - people, giving, and our website. It's the first software that actually made ministry easier. — Emily, Grace Fellowship (Source: Capterra)
We recently switched from a program that was costing us over $3000 more per year. With the other program, I would email support and not get an answer unit the middle of the night... Since using ChurchTrac, every answer has been within the hour. I am very pleased at the flexibility of the program and most importantly, I do not need a team of tech expert employees to help me figure out how the reports work. — Amy K, Admin (Source: Capterra)
