Administrator Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great church management software!" June 15, 2020 5.0 I appreciate the programming, and the support staff. Whenever I email to ask about a feature, if it is something that is not currently available, they send it over to development for review for possible upgrades later. Pros Easy to use. I like the to ability to group members together, and to be able to mass text or email quickly. Cons I am still trying to figure out the integration with constant contact mass emails. Alternatives considered [Planning Center](https://www.capterra.com/p/76708/Planning-Center/) Reason for choosing SimpleChurch CRM Price was much better.

Cost is great for what you get. Cons Always wish for more capabilities, but what they have is great for most churches Review Source CK Chris K. Assistant Pastor Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Invaluable software for our church" June 3, 2020 5.0 It has eliminated the need for a printed church directory, since nearly all members have the ability to download and use the software. Pros We like the ease of use in finding and keeping up with church members once the initial information is put in. Cons Not able to keep certain easy-to-use schedules (like last week, Monday-Sunday, etc.) available in the giving reports module. We have to go in and change dates every week, both for online, offline, and total giving. More presets would be a great help. Review Source MP Marcia P. Office Administrator Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great product and customer service. " June 3, 2020 5.0 Overall very happy. Pros I like how easy it is to use and it allows us to communicate efficiently with our congregation. Cons I would like to see a platform within the product that would allow volunteers to select times they can volunteer. The current way it is set up, the volunteer must be asked then reject before another can be invited, versus all volunteers can see the available time slots at the same time, and sign ups can be first come first serve style. Review Source DP Dan P. Senior Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Giving" June 11, 2020 4.0 Pros Mass messaging. CUSTOMER SERVICE - GOOD JOB TEAM. Probably the only reason we're still using SC-CRM. Cons We are close to changing from SimpleChurchCRM to Planning Center. One of the features of planning center is the option for the GIVER to opt to pay for transaction fees. HUGE PLUS! They also have ministry scheduling available. It's an ALL-IN-ONE solution. Check it out. Reason for choosing SimpleChurch CRM Recommended by a good friend.

Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Manager of Administrative Services Environmental Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Thoughts on SimpleChurchCRM" December 4, 2018 3.0 It is a good software to organize your membership information and share it among your staff. Pros I like that the software is web-based. You can access the program from anywhere to get information. Cons I don't like how the family members are connected. I have used other software that is easier to use regarding connecting individuals to families. Review Source SB Shana B. Church Administrator Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "SimpleChurchCRM makes daily work easy!" June 3, 2020 5.0 Connectivity and ability to update on-the-spot make SC the best choice for our congregation. Pros Ease of use and availability to our congregation Cons Integration was time-consuming, but we didn't have anything more than a spreadsheet before using SC. The time spent to set up SC was well worth it. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Accountant Real Estate Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "SimpleChurch Review" August 16, 2018 3.0 Overall, there are better platforms than SimpleChurch. It worked well enough, but Pros This software allows you to enter visitor information and member information for church staff to easily access. It acts as a directory. You can also track giving records and attendance. The best feature allowed you to break up people into groups, making it easier for certain leaders to contact people. Cons In my experience, it was buggy and lacked support. Review Source KC Kevin C. Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great overall solution for church management" June 15, 2020 5.0 We have really needed to rely on tech support but any interaction I have had with this company have been nothing but good. Pros I like the ease of organizing families and finances in one place. Cons I can't think of a thing I dislike about this product. Switched from [Realm](https://www.capterra.com/p/146265/Realm/) SimpleChurchCRM had more features we were looking for in a church management software and at a reasonable price for our small church. Review Source TN Tami N. IT Manager Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "It was great for getting our church started! " August 8, 2019 3.0 Pros Easy to set up and administer. IT was a good software for getting us started with our first CRM. Cons Price points, especially for adding individuals to the CRM. Review Source Response from Ministry Brands April 7, 2020 Hi Tami!

Senior Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Software" November 9, 2018 5.0 Our experience with Simple Church has been amazing, their giving software as well as the reliability of the management software is amazing. Very easy to use, and very easy to create flows and followups, groups etc. Pros Simple Church is a very easy but powerful software that it works great with any size church. Cons It would be great if they had it where you can change language, like spanish etc. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Digital Marketing Manager Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "This software meets its goals hands down" April 26, 2018 5.0 Pros Integrations with mail chimp, IOS native and ability to have many volunteers in the church use the software to perform their functions in serving god are wonderful. God bless you Cons Limited reporting and database custimistion - I think that hopefully this can be improved in time but overall t he benefits far outweigh this small detail. Review Source SG Stephanie G. Sunday School Director Religious Institutions Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Simple Church" March 29, 2019 5.0 Pros I like that it is simple to use and follow. I can easily find the information I need. Cons I don’t have anything bad to say about it. I use it often and like it a lot. Review Source DS Darren S. Administrator Religious Institutions Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great software for the price" April 6, 2020 4.0 Very good experience Pros We like that we have email and text abilities build into the software. We also like that we can do attendance with it. Cons The attendance part could be a little better as for as adding visitors or guest when using the touch attendance from an iPad. Switched from [One Call Now](https://www.capterra.com/p/152597/One-Call-Now/) Better pricing and more functions Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Lead Pastor & Chief Executive Officer Religious Institutions Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Church tracking made simple!" August 15, 2018 4.0 My overall experience has been good. This platform has helped me realize the importance of effective contact and follow-up to help increase retention in my Church. Pros What I liked most about this platform is the ease of use. Being able to create/edit on my phone and computer makes keeping our database up to date a lot easier. I have also appreciated the cross-platform integrations. It helps keep the information consistant and easy to access. Cons At the price point in comparison with its competition, I wish this platform could offer more features. Maybe something like volunteer scheduling management or online giving. Review Source RH Randy H. Senior Leader Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great tool" June 15, 2020 5.0 This software makes it easy to track donors and trends in giving. Pros We have found simple church to be a great tool for our congregation. It is easy to operate and easy for new people to learn.

Elder of Pastoral Care Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Tool For Mass Contact" June 3, 2020 4.0 Great! Pros I particularly like how easy the software is to use. The app puts mass contact at my finger tips. Cons I would like to message/contact individuals without having to create a new distribution and also have a way to track to visitors without creating a member profile for them. Review Source TH Travis H. Computer Support Computer & Network Security Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best Church Software " April 15, 2020 5.0 Pros The ease of use and the support staff was the key selling point for using this software. We tried several others but we went with SimpleChurch for the above mentioned features. Cons We like the integrated pay features but would like to see this area enhanced more in future releases. Reason for choosing SimpleChurch CRM Ease of use and the support staff was the key selling point for choosing your software Review Source PM Patrick M. pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great features and loved how it helped connect people. " May 19, 2017 4.0 The ability to connect and to have automated systems to make sure people didn't fall through the cracks. Pros I liked that it had lots of features that were really helpful for our church and it was reasonably priced. Cons There were some challenges getting used to the software. It was a little bit of a challenge on boarding our staff. Review Source ML Michael L. Student Ministeies/Media Religious Institutions Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "It lives up to its name!" December 15, 2016 5.0 Over the past 5 years, we have gone through 3 CHRM platforms. The others were clunky, hard to operate, and looked like they had been developed for Windows 95. We have recently made the switch to SimpleChurch and couldn't be any happier with it. It is powerful but simple. My favorite feature personally is the "Interactions" feature which allows for very thorough guest follow-up. As we have made the switch, the technical support team has been great. I wish we would have made the switch to SimpleChurch years ago. Review Source JP Jason P. Executive Pastor of Worship Used the software for: ### "Finally! A church membership database I can use!" September 29, 2014 5.0 Our church had been on Shelby for years. Being a mac user, logging on to a virtual machine to use Shelby had become laborious. Not to mention the fact that once in Shelby it took so many steps to just look up a phone number! Keeping track of groups, attendance taking and mass contact were difficult too. Simple Church CRM has made all of the things I want to do with my contacts extremely easy, and having that data accessible from the web and on my iPhone have made a huge difference in how often I find myself using the database. Pros: Easy to use, accessible from any web-enabled machine, powerful search, and effective at what I need it to do. Cons: None. In some ways it will feel like there's "not much to it" compared to the complexity of a program like Shelby with all of its feature-creep. But after just a few days with it even the most resistant to change find it capable of doing everything they need and more, except with a LOT less work and stress. Review Source MB Marley B. Proprietor Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A great app, simple to use" April 10, 2018 5.0 Pros I really like how easy it is to find other members of our church to be able to connect with them. I love that I can check my kids in easily, as well as use it to give our tithe (which saves us money by not having to use a check each week). It is secure and efficient. Cons So far, I have not found anything that I do not like about this software. The only downside is when church members are not signed up, but that is not the fault of the app. Review Source AJ Aussie J. Used the software for: ### "null" May 5, 2019 2.0 Review Source Response from Ministry Brands April 7, 2020 Hi Aussie, I'm sorry you were unsatisfied with our product. Since you posted, we've added a ton of new features! We have volunteer scheduling, improved reporting, a member health dashboard, and more. We do hope you'll give us another try. We have a free 60-day trial right now. AP Angie P. Office Manager/Administrative Assistant Used the software for: ### "SimpleChurch what a help!" April 15, 2015 5.0 Freedom Baptist Church has been using SimpleChurchCRM since 2012. We have a new pastor and SimpleChurch was a godsend to him with learning the people in the congregation, the maps to help him find their homes and the interaction function. As Office Manager and Financial Administrative Assistant, online giving, individual giving records and reports are a great help to me. The monthly fees are well worth the cost when compared to the amount of time that SimpleChurchCRM saves. Review Source Similar Products Featured
