Software For Small Churches
Running a small church under 200 people often means wearing multiple hats — pastor, bookkeeper, secretary, tech support, and sometimes janitor. You don’t have the time or budget for complicated software. You need something that just works and is easy to learn.
All-In-One Software for Small Churches
Trusted by over 13,000 churches worldwide, ChurchTrac is your all-in-one church software built for real ministry, especially small churches finding their footing.

Smaller ministries initially choose ChurchTrac for its simplicity and price. But they stay for the robust features.
- Affordable for Any Budget – Plans start under $9/month with no contracts.

“If you are a small church that needs a good online database that doesn't break the bank, this is it. There are numerous features that you can choose what fits your particular ministry and have everything in one area... instead of needing 4-5 different programs to do it all.” — David C., Pastor (Source: Capterra)
The Reality of other Church Tools
Most church management platforms are designed for established churches with a full-time staff and large budgets. Small churches 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
Features Small Churches Need
Small churches need a platform that enables them to easily communicate with their congregation and manage their ministry.
People Management & Communication
ChurchTrac People keeps your members, families, and guests organized. You can send mass texts, emails, and push notifications to your entire church or any group — directly from ChurchTrac. No separate app or subscription required.
Giving & Accounting
Track donations and generate giving statements with ChurchTrac Giving. Need to manage funds and track your expenses? ChurchTrac Accounting does that too. No third-party tools or syncing headaches.
Check-In & Attendance
Simplify Sunday mornings with fast, secure Child Check-In. Volunteers can use our dedicated iPad Check-In App for a smooth experience every week. Need to track worship attendance or accept registrations for an upcoming potluck? ChurchTrac Events & Attendance can do that too.
Church Website & App
Build and host your church's website and app on the same platform (at the same time). Bring your own custom domain and enjoy the simplicity of Church Connect — Your church website and mobile app builder.
Worship & Scheduling
No need for another app. ChurchTrac's Worship & Scheduling includes everything you need built-in. Curate your song library and add songs with SongSelect®, create detailed service outlines, and schedule volunteers for every ministry — not just the band.
The Small-Church Advantage
Most church software platforms assume you have a full staff, an IT team, and a paid accountant just to keep things running. ChurchTrac was built for the kind of churches we serve every day — a few faithful leaders, a big vision, and hearts set on ministry.
With ChurchTrac, small churches don’t have to compromise. You get the same features large churches rely on without the complexity or cost.

Small churches using ChurchTrac report saving 40% or more compared to other platforms while gaining back hours every week for real ministry. Because ChurchTrac brings everything together, you can finally spend less time managing and more time pastoring.
"We recently switched from a program that was costing us $3,000 more per year. With the other program, I would email support and not get an answer until 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)
