ChMS vs Churchteams Comparison

Churchteams is in my opinion the best ChMS out there. They are making continual improvements. It may not have all the polished interfaces that others have, but the functionality is great! It is designed by people with deep ministry experience for ministers.

They are working still on reporting. There are some reports I still can't get easily, but they are working on them.

David, thank you for the great review. We love serving you guys and getting your feedback. Cool affirmation about the current priority of working on reports. Hopefully, we'll have some new look for those in the next few months. Appreciate you.

It was many if not all the church management tools needed by a pastor and staff to care for their people. We like dashboard and the data it can display. Other ChMS have a lot of reports but they are hard to find in the software.

The app is still kind of rigid or clunky. It collects all the necessary information but just overall it is too simplistic looking or basic.

Thanks Eric for your review.

ChurchTeams is extremely functional. It has everything and more than many of the major players in the ChMS market. Church to Text is an excellent example. Their support and service is second to none. They are very responsive to enhancement requests and assistance with reports and any aspect of their system. Also their price is extremely economical.

I can’t really say there is anything I dislike. One of the things I mentioned to them was to enhance the GUI interface to have the slick feel of some of the newer platforms. In my opinion ChurchTeams has always been about function over aesthetics but I do know they are currently working to improve the GUI interface.

Brad, thank you for this very kind review. We love colaboring with you guys for the sake of the Kingdom. Technology is constantly evolving and changing. We want to stay in front of that as best we can. Your thoughts and feedback are instrumental to that goal. Thanks, Boyd

The ease of use is the top of the list of what I like most about Churchteams. It's simple, but so powerful. It's also one of the most affordable options and the customer service has been exemplary. Executive has been with us every step of the way, Executives are always available to answer questions and their help and expertise with the data conversion was priceless. Our team is actually excited to use it and they are learning quickly how to navigate everything.

Honestly the only drawbacks in my opinion are relate to the search function as it relates to our former product. We have a large congregation and a LOT of records. In our former ChMS (the one that must not be named - if you've used it you know exactly which one I'm talking about) we could search by partial first AND partial last name simultaneously. In Churchteams regardless of whether you're doing a people search or a merge or whatever it is, it will search as you type, but it will only search one partial name at a time. It's an inconvenience at worst, but it is something I hope they consider implementing in the future because it really does help immensely with you have, for example, nearly 500 Smiths in the database.

Thank you, Kara, for this really nice review. We look forward to Pathway thriving with Churchteams!

Nearly everything is customizable. Fantastic group/team management. Easy to use reports. Leaders enjoy using it. Outstanding customer service.

Functionality is great but design could be improved.
