I have been active in setting-up, managing, and using Church Social for our church and continue to be impressed with its capabilities and ease of use. They are also continually adding and updating functionality to keep up with the needs of the churches. Great product!

Pros

The Church Social platform is very well designed and easy to use for both administrators and congregational members.

Cons

No real cons - any issues we came across were addressed promptly by the Church Social team.

Excellent. The support is fantastic, so if there are any issues or deficiencies they are resolved promptly.

Pros

It provides a centralised location for all church information and communications. Allows members to be more informed and easy interact outside of Sunday church services.

Cons

The reporting functionality still has some improvement work to go, but it has come a long way, and has good support for further development.

My experiences with Church Social has been great. As an Administrator, I have challenges getting my fellow congregants to use this program to it's full capacity. It's just a matter of user confidence, and getting people to buy into a new way of learning things.

Pros

This software is great to manage all personal information for everyone in our church. The greatest benefit is that members has access to their own information and can make suggestions for edits. This is far more accurate then having info stored on a single user data base.

Cons

I use to have more control over the manipulations of my database, getting it to accumulate the totals/reports I need from time to time, but CSR is eager to listen to any suggestions I has and helped me to get whenever I need in a timely fashion!

Pros

This software is so easy to use that young and old in the congregation are excited about joining and using it. Having an online directory has been extremely helpful and the option to load photos is a real delight! Also, through the "Messages" function this software has helped our communications tremendously. We no longer have to worry about maintaining email lists and updating them, this can all be done within the software.

Cons

There is nothing that I can think of. It has been a great experience so far!

Church Social is a great tool for the congregation to communicate with each other, and to look up information like phone numbers, email addresses, birthdays, anniversaries, etc. about individuals and families in our congregation.

Pros

Church Social is easy to use and has great features. The ability to create groups, schedule events and reminders for various groups, see birthdays, anniversaries, and special dates at a glance, message each other, drill down and get details of families and individuals are all very useful. Office bearers have additional capabilities to help manage families and individuals in their ward.

Cons

Changing information for a family often requires changing the same information for individuals within a family. A "modify family info" option would be a great addition.

Church Social was put in place for our church (~375 members) two years ago primarily to solve the multiple spreadsheet issue that was our membership statistics. Our elders and deacons were unaware of basic information such as member milestones, names of children, family relationships, etc. As the new statistician, I wanted to solve this issue. I trialed a few other high rated tools including Servant Keeper, but found these tools focused more on overall Church management, something we already had well in hand. Church Social appealed to us as not trying to be everything to everyone, but working hard to enhance member to member communication, and at the same time make member management easier! Church Social solved the spreadsheet problem and added the benefits of an online secure mobile friendly member directory that is used by many members of our congregation. Visiting a family? Click the address and open up your default map application to get there. Whose birthdays are coming up? Pop in the app and check. Usher schedule? Build it and setup email reminders. Elders, deacons, and members can quickly email the whole congregation or select groups. Bible study resources, bulletins, and sermons can be stored within the app for easy retrieval. While we have not used it yet, Church social offers WordPress integration of calendar and sermon modules for items deemed public.

Pros

Ease of use, security, built as a member directory, excellent mobile interface, powerful reporting, full member download available (not locked in), flexible pricing.

Cons

Very little. They are always working hard to add new features based on customer needs. One feature I'm waiting for is to save my custom reports. It's not a big dealt though, as they are easy to create!

The customer support is fantastic and we are so happy to have this as part of our church life. :D

Pros

The photo directory and email lists are what drew us to this software in the first place. The added features like schedule reminders and ward lists are also fantastic features too.

Cons

We are eagerly waiting for some features, like the uploading of schedules and some reporting features to be added.

Church Social has provided a platform to record all our members statistical information in an up-to-date format that is very easy to manage and maintain. Any problems or questions I had in using the product were dealt with in a professional and timely manner. Our members enjoy using the app to stay up-to-date on activities and special events happening in our church community. It has turned out to be a real blessing for our congregation.

Pros

The software is so easy to use. It is well laid out and provides users with information quickly and in a concise format.

Cons

The software will transfer information of events that are entered into Church Social onto our public website but the formatting of text in lost in this process.

Excellent. Easy to learn for all ages and a pleasure to work with. Very easy to get started and very little overhead.

Pros

Ease of use and value for money. Our church was searching for a solution to manage its web presence, membership nd communication internally and to the congregation. We had gone the customs route which for the effort was a mistake. Dont waste your time with custom - get Church Social and move on to more important priorities.

Cons

None, even the price is low. Remarkable.

Excellent experience.. I'd highly recommend this software to any congregation no matter how big or small - this is an with exceptional program that comes with so many benefits that help to keep members all in tune not only with each other, but with the ebb & flow of their congregational happenings.

Pros

Very user friendly.. so simple to use and navigate around. Messages are easy to send whether individually, to everyone, or distinct groups (Mens/Womens/Youth study groups.. small groups..consistory.. etc..) The reminder emails when you're on duty for nursery...usher..church setup.. etc.. is a life saver! I can only imagine the endless benefits for any minister or office bearer.. all around, a top notch and well designed program!

Cons

Hard to think of anything off hand.....?

We manage our member administration, we use the group email function, our members are part of schedules for which they get reminders, pictures of our church activities are shared securely on Church Social, we use the file sharing option, our pastors, elders and deacons are accessing member information daily, our older members are using Church Social to stay in touch (and love the pictures), our new members get to know the congregation but also find out how to get involved. We use the member maps to analyze where our members live as we are a fast growing church, the member statistics are great for demographic analysis. A key tool for our congregational live and church leadership.

Pros

Allowing our large congregation to work together, be more unified, managing schedules, calendars, files, committees, teams, etc. withing a secure setting. The automated email reminders work make sure everyone shows up as a greeter, babysitter, driver, usher, or library attendant. The pictures of members and activities allows new members to quickly feel home. The convenience of having all this information anywhere and anytime. It has improved our church community and we can't function without Church Social anymore.

Cons

In using Church Social, we see the potential. We are asking more and more functionality, which is always developed, if it makes sense. We would like it "tomorrow"... which we realize is not realistic :-)

Hey Matt! I actually added the ability to bulk generate the entire member photo directory just last month. You can find this in the "Members" section, under the "Download" dropdown. You can choose either a full page (letter) version, or an A5 version. Hope that helps!

As an elder in the church I go to having a tool to keep in contact with members is essential. It's so handy to have contact information of congregants at my finger tips and I use Church Social regularly for this purpose. In addition, it is great that the congregation can be connected using the email tool and not have to wait each Sunday to connect. Church Social also provides an excellent way to manage member statistics – accurately. And it helps that Church Social presents that data nicer than an Excel spreadsheet.

Pros

I love how easy the software is to use. There are so many cool features: - The database of member contact information allows you to get in touch with members anywhere - The calendar helps you keep track of birthdays keep conflicts to a minimum - You can run membership reports - You can manage member statistics quickly and efficiently - The email tool is easy to use and allow the congregation to stay connected through the weeks

Cons

I don't really have much negative to say. I am looking forward to the launch of the app.
