Overall I recommend this to get your church involved and motivated to stay socially connected.

Pros

Church Social is a great way to involve everyone in the church including the youth and older children in managing the social events happening at your church. We use this as the main calendar despite having other programs. This one allows us to track small group gatherings, youth events, and even birthdays for the congregation. It really gets people to "socialize".

Cons

The system is a bit price but nothing crazy. Customer service is not always helpful but they are pleasant.

It's great to have all the information you need in one centralized place. Any time you need someone's address, phone number, or email you know exactly where to get it.

Pros

Such a great program to centralize everything you'd need in your church. This has replaced our old directories and made things so much easier. Allows you to easily reach out for birthdays, anniversaries etc!

Cons

It's not as aesthetically pleasing as a lot of new software nowadays but the functionality is awesome.

We've only been using the service for approximately 6 months but everything about it has simplified the way we communicate as a congregation throughout the week. We know there are more improvements on the horizon and look forward to the way in which our church can make use of those!

Pros

\- User Friendly. Being a congregation, like most, with quite a variance in age groups, Church Social was extremely easy for all members of our congregation to learn and start to use. With a little bit of 1:1 for some of our more elderly members, everyone was up and running comfortably with the software within a week's time. - Content. As a smaller congregation of about 120 members, we were looking to create a custom website which included most of the features provided in Church Social. To have bulletins, files, messages, calendar, directory, etc. all located in one convenient location - Top notch customer service! Easy to get a hold of and resolves 'issues' or concerns promptly.

Cons

There is nothing that is not liked. There is always room for improvement with any software and Church Social is no exception. However, the difference lies in the customer service which is top notch! Always willing to listen and even implement ideas or improvements which will benefit our congregation's needs.

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

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.

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!

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!

This company is motivated and accepts challenges for improvement. If I have a question they will respond with a solution. They are willing to listen and improve as needed.

Pros

This software is great in keeping track of all information about church members. This software requires login for all members and a special login for elders, deacons and ministers. This software maintains all personal data about individuals and the section for church leaders allows extra information to be added. We have used this software for several years now in our church and it has been well received by the membership. I would recommend this to all church groups.

Cons

I have not found anything I dislike. This software fits the needs of our church.

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.

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".

It's easy to use for even the least computer savvy person. And it's not run by one person. Anyone can contribute with messages, rosters, reminders etc. Just a wonderful and critical tool. Thank you so very much to the Church Social creators from over 350 members that love it and use it everyday of the week!

Pros

Church Social has become a critical tool in our church life, and in many ways we couldn't do without it. No longer are we depending only on that paper in the Sunday pigeon hole, but notices and emails can be sent by anyone to everyone at anytime! Easy access by all office bearers to members details makes it very helpful when organizing visits and remembering addresses. The family photos are a great way for newcomers to be introduced, and for members to put names to faces! The birthday calendar is accessible to all and a great way to get reminders to send on some love.

Cons

Nothing worth noting. Any issues are dealt with quickly by the developers.

I served as administrator of our congregation's membership information, and as an elder, and in both respects, Church Social met our needs and then some. The congregation enjoys the easy to navigate photo directory, group email messaging, and 'reminder' functionality, while I really appreciated the depth of access control and data exports as an administrator. Additionally, during my term as elder we used access control for private documents and information quite extensively. Church Social is now our centralized membership information database, as well as the information hub for goings on in the congregation. The last update included an overhaul with a nice responsive design that works well on PCs, tablets, and mobile phones. In summary, this is a thoughtfully designed, well supported application that I would recommend to anyone.

Pros

\- Beautiful, easy to navigate members directory - Logical group messaging functionality - Great access and privacy control - Good membership data export functionality

Cons

\- None, more or less all our feedback was considered and changes were made in several rounds of updates

Pros

Easy to use. Put all the membership data in one place; easy to update; easy to access and manipulate. Made my job so much easier!

Cons

There were no real cons; it just took some time for the congregation to get on board and comfortable using this software. Only because it was different that what had been done in the past.

Data at your fingertips; ease of communication with fellow members. Great for new members to get to know the congregation faster. Reminders when you have a special duty (nursery, usher, coffee social).

Pros

All kinds of data; communication; reminders; photos

Cons

From a statistician perspective, it takes a bit to get to know the program and figure things out. But customer support is great, so if there are any questions, they get answered quickly and completely! From a member perspective, it's great!

Pros

Church Social provides so many different services for our church in one place. Group e-mails for specific groups within the congregation, the easy to use and update photo directory, the calendar that coordinates birthdays, anniversaries, and all the church events all at once. Things are much more efficient this way. Any problems that have popped up have been quickly addressed by Church Social.

Cons

We've been working on getting everybody in the church to switch over to the new e-mail format, which has taken some time.

Overall, we love Church Social. If there is a feature I cannot find or am unsure about, I email the Admin and get my question answered. We've had it for a year, and am looking forward to seeing how the Stats will show up as time goes on.

Pros

Our church community LOVES the schedule option - you enter in the schedule (for nursery, host family, picking up people who cannot drive, whatever you want) and it will sent people reminders via email a few days prior. We also like the Members feature that list the family members, people can upload their family/individual photo and it also shows on Google Maps where people live.

Cons

We've had the program for about a year, and have yet to find something I don't like about it.
