ChurchStaq overview

What is ChurchStaq?

ChurchStaq is an all-in-one church management, digital giving, and engagement platform designed to help churches manage people, generosity, and communication in one system. Built by Pushpay, ChurchStaq supports churches that want to grow connection and participation while simplifying day-to-day operations and reducing reliance on disconnected tools.

ChurchStaq includes core church management features such as individual and household profiles, attendance tracking, group and ministry management, and configurable data fields that adapt to each church’s structure. Native digital giving supports one-time gifts, recurring donations, and fundraising campaigns, giving churches flexible tools to support generosity throughout the year. A built-in, branded church app enables push notifications, in-app messaging, and congregation engagement. Congregants can give digitally, update personal information, manage communication preferences, and stay connected through a single, consistent experience across web and mobile.

Administrative tools include role-based permissions, automated workflows, and reporting dashboards that provide clear insight into engagement and giving trends. These capabilities reduce manual work and help church staff and leadership make informed operational and ministry decisions. Reporting tools support visibility across individuals, households, groups, and giving activity, helping teams understand participation and follow-up needs.

ChurchStaq also includes Pushpay’s emerging AI-powered capabilities, such as natural-language search across people and giving data. These tools help teams quickly surface insights, answer questions, and take action without complex reports or manual filtering, making church data more accessible and actionable.

ChurchStaq integrates with common financial and church software platforms to support data consistency across systems. The platform uses secure payment processing, role-based access controls, and modern security practices to protect sensitive church and donor data. Designed to scale, ChurchStaq supports churches of all sizes, from single-campus ministries to large multi-campus organizations.

Cons
“CCB was a very frustrating experience which led to move on from it all together. Between the unorganized pages, and multiple pages having the exact same features made it very confusing for users.”

“At times it can be slow, and we've found that some of our administrators have lost information over time.”
MM

Matt M.

Facilities Director

“It was difficult to find people's payment unless we connected our finances to it which costs more. Some emails didn't go through because they were just in the CCB system which caused chaos.”
