They have used it as it is catered well for their use. Cons Their tech support is sometimes a bit hard to get up with (or has been in the past) - no major cons.

Operations Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "This system was already in place when I came to this job, but it was easy to learn." May 16, 2017 4.0 Pros Ease of use. It's has lots of functions, we don't use everything that we could, but with a move to online function this will be expanded to include the Check-in system. Cons Reporting could be more robust. I'd like more options when selecting the data that can be used in a report. I'm hoping the online version will have those options.

First time using church system and it worked out very well Pros The average user for the system implementation we did were an older crowd and the user experience was simple and easy to use. Pleasant system overall, and reliable accounting software Cons No very configurable but expected with such out of box solution implemented. We were able to achieve all we needed though.

Church Business Officer Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Love PC " August 15, 2017 5.0 I especially like the internet access where I can work from home or from the church office. Pros PC is user friendly and produces wonderful reports. It integrates well with several other software making exporting & importing exceptional. Cons Most CPA's in Naples, FL doesn't understand the accounting software portion of PC. I need someone to contact me.

I also like the feature that allowed you to categorize members in many different ways ( age, family, zip code etc) Cons I found this program a little confusing. There seemed to be extra steps to accomplish tasks, when it should really have been more simple. Review Source Response from PowerChurch Software November 19, 2019 Hi Lisa, Thank you for your review of PowerChurch Plus. It's great that you mention PowerChurch's ability to easily handle large amounts of data, categorize people in your Membership, and attach photos to families and individuals.

Administrator Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Overall a great program that combines membership, contribution, and accounting functions." April 23, 2018 4.0 Pros I like that PowerChurch is membership, contribution tracking, and accounting all-in-one. Our online giving through our website using one of the partners of PowerChurch gives us an integrated import function and has increased productivity of processing online giving. Cons There is no communication component that includes group texting abilities. We will have to subscribe to an outside provider and set-up another system to achieve this desired outcome. Review Source Response from PowerChurch Software April 24, 2018 Hi Valarie, Thank you for submitting your review. We're happy to read that PowerChurch Plus works well overall for you across the different modules of the program. Thank you for pointing out the streamlined online giving function that we've developed with Vanco Payment Solutions. As far as group texting capabilities, we're always happy to hear requests and suggestions from our users. We'll pass this request along to our Development Team, and please feel free to email us with any other suggestions at wishlist@powerchurch.com. EM Ed M. Church Business Administrator Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Long-time PowerChurch user" August 11, 2016 5.0 We've been using PowerChurch for over ten years and we're very happy with it. We started using it for membership management, for which it is very good. Not long after this, we stopped using our old accounting software and started using PowerChurch because it is a true double-entry accounting system with strong controls. Over the years we have had \*\*very\*\* few problems with PC, and the support team is excellent in responding. As far as value, I believe PC is a feature-rich system at very reasonable price. Pros It is a \*\*real\*\* accounting system, with strong controls and audit trails. Cons PowerChurch has a pretty good scheduling system, but I think it would benefit with some upgrades, particularly with the reports and the calendar displays. It does have a pretty seemless link to Google calendar, which helps. Review Source KF Kate F. Admin. Asst. Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Powerful but not very user friendly" April 5, 2018 3.0 Member information storage, giving statements, and pledge recording were mainly what we used it for. There were more options but it wasn't super user-friendly, so we didn't use them. Pros It has multiple capabilities and does not experience software glitches like the database our church switched to. Cons It is not very user friendly. There are a lot of click down items, and learning a new skill can be burdensome when you have to search a lot of forums online for an answer. Review Source Response from PowerChurch Software April 10, 2018 Hi Kate, Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We appreciate your candid thoughts and we¿re sorry to hear that you didn¿t find the software to fit your church¿s needs. Since PowerChurch Plus is a featured-packed program, we understand that there are a lot of menu items available. However, you have the ability to customize your own Quick Tasks menu to provide fast and easy access to the features you use the most. If you decide to try it again, we have a staff of technicians that would be happy to help answer your questions and walk you through customizing these menus to help you ease your workflow. Be sure to ask about all of our available online training resources and articles as well. Please don¿t hesitate to give us a call at (800) 486-1800. Thank you JR Juanita R. Bookkeeper Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great and affordable software for churches" August 13, 2016 5.0 Updates to the payroll module in recent years are a definite plus making preparing tax returns SO much easier! The ability to handle temporary restricted funds is a definite plus over Quick Books. I was asked to audit books for a church using Quick Books, and they are using liability accounts to manage restricted funds. That procedure definitely paints an incorrect picture of the financial health of the institution and presents a opportunity for a very tense business meeting. Pros I love how easy it is to do my job and the clarity of reports I am able to present to the financial teams for the churches where I work. Cons The Cash Managemet Report is a great report for untrained people to understand their available funds. It would be great if this report could be done by fund like the Balance Sheet. I keep books for a church that has a diverse ministry and 3 bank accounts; and because the Cash Management Report is not available by fund, I prepare the Balance Sheet for each fund which requires doing some substracting of temporarily restricted funds from the cash in bank to determine available funds.

Attendant Consumer Goods Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "PowerChurch a friendly software" July 23, 2022 5.0 I really like this software because it was really easy to understand. Pros A lot of people that needs this kind of software, needs to understand how to use it and this software it's really friendly with it, this software it's absolutely useful. Cons I don't like the amount of tools and functionalities, this software it's easy to understand and use, but it needs more tools and functions to understand Review Source Response from PowerChurch Software October 18, 2022 Thank you, Bruno. Glad to hear you're enjoying PowerChurch! JS Jerry S. Retired Maintenance and IT Coordinator Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "We Stayed with Power Church" August 11, 2016 4.0 While on the board of our local church, we did an exhaustive study into Church CMS. We selected Power Church Plus after that study. Then while serving as the Manitenance and IT coordinator we briefly went to a competitor because it was first with the Children's Checkin Module. After a horrendous start-up and about a year of use, we went back to PC+ when it developed their own version of the check-in system. I believe we have been users now for about 30 years and happy with our relationship. Pros (1) Membership and Activity Tracking (2) Finance (3) Room SCheduling Cons We wish there was a better interface with the caladar system for our web page. Possibly we need to switch to the Online PC+ system Review Source JH Julie H. Parish Assistant Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Software" August 10, 2016 5.0 PowerChurch has been used here at St. Barnabas before I was hired 18 years ago. It has grown with us as we have grown, both in features and functionality. But it has always stayed a quality product. Pros The people behind this software listen to their users and improve the product in ways suggested. We rarely run into a problem that PC developers aren't already fixing. The modules work great, especially Membership, Accounting and Contributions. The Events and Receivables are good, amazing considering the price for this Software. Cons I wish there was a little more flexibility in the Events module for booking rooms for events Review Source JR James R. Church Financial Secretary Used the software for: ### "partial review of power church" March 20, 2017 5.0 I am running PowerChurch Plus 11.5. I mostly use the Contributions module. I like the functionality mostly except for one thing. Power Church takes my entries which are dated the same and combines them together in a single sum for that date on the bank reconciliation. With electronic giving and two services each sunday, we have quite a few bank deposits during the month. In order to keep peace with the treasurer (who does the reconciliation), I need the power church deposits to match the bank deposit amounts. Therefore, I have to jump through hoops to make Power Church give me the separate amounts. I do this by faking the dates. This is relative easy for our second service collection. I just date the entries on the Monday after the service. However the electronic giving from Vanco has dates all over the place. I have to go into the CSV file and make sure every deposit is unique and doesn't match one of the 8 or 10 Sunday collection deposits. This is VERY time consuming and subject to errors. Why can't Power Church give me the option of not combining dates? Pros easy of data entry Cons awkward payroll module & poor formatting of the half-page directory printout Review Source Response from PowerChurch Software March 22, 2017 Hi James, Thank you for your feedback. PowerChurch Plus can certainly do what you are trying to achieve. It creates separate bank deposits for each posting. Therefore, you could enter and post each service separately using the same date. As for the Vanco CSV, there is now a direct integration with Vanco that accurately creates the accounting transactions so that you can reconcile. Please don¿t hesitate to give us a call at 800-486-1800 and one of our support technicians would be happy to assist you. Thank you! MH Monique H. bookkeeper Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "quite satisfied!" August 10, 2016 4.0 Excellent value for the money. A member of our Church Board, an accountant by profession, decided to purchase this software. As a bookkeeper, I am so grateful for his choice. Technical Support is very helpful at the beginning. If the technicians are busy, you leave a message and they call back within 1 hour. Pros Software is user-friendly. Updates are free. Cons It takes a long time to create the database but once done, any changes are a breeze. It would be great if the software would have cross-reference capability. We would not have to download different reports to get details on a certain document. Review Source JM Jerry M. Bookkeeper Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Power Church Plus review" August 12, 2016 5.0 We have been with Power Church Plus for many years and have found it very easy to use. their response to help is very good. Pros The best thing is that every thing works together from contributions to accounting. The reports are many so you can get in info that you need from the past Cons I would like to see lookup keys for acct. payable so when you put in a name it will come up or all the Toms will come up. The system now is time consuming to look up the vendor if you don't know the vendor ID Review Source AG Andy G. Comptroller Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Power Church Plus at Alger Park" August 11, 2016 5.0 On the rebound from a bad church software experience, we purchased v.3 of PCP+. We have kept on using the software to the current version because it meets ALL of our needs, and the support staff has been very responsive to our questions and needs. Pros The similarity of the structure in all of the modules enables us to find and use the information that we are looking for, even in modules that we use infrequent in our specific job. Cons I really cannot think of any real negatives, even after many years of using the software Review Source CN Connor N. Sales Manager Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Ended up going with another company" April 18, 2019 5.0 Pros The church software was fine, I really liked the sermon optionals that were available and really streamlined our process.

November 14, 2019 5.0 I liked the software overall--like I said, it gave our church a centralized location for membership data and information. Pros When I used PowerChurch, I really appreciated the interface. It was helpful in reading and interpreting data. PowerChurch was the perfect "one-stop shop" for membership information. Cons What I liked least about PowerChurch was that the learning curve was kind of steep. We had a transition in volunteers using it, and it took awhile to get the new person up to speed. Additionally, there were limits to the number and type of filters we could run on a search in the system. Review Source Response from PowerChurch Software November 19, 2019 Hi Daniel, We really appreciate you taking the time to submit your review of PowerChurch Plus. We're very happy to hear that PowerChurch has been a centralized piece of software to help manage and organize your church data and information.

Pros We like the four different modules you can work with or choose options to work with.
