MinistryPlatform overview

What is MinistryPlatform?

MinistryPlatform is a cloud-based church management software designed to help churches create multiple groups and communicate with members via a unified portal. The platform enables congregations to manage event registrations, mission trips, donations, and contribution statements.

MinistryPlatform includes a check-in functionality, which allows institutions to create and print personalized labels for member check-ins during events and generate reports for reference. It offers various features such as member directory, event management, text messages, forms management, worship planning, and more.

MobileTool in MinistryPlatform lets administrators manage small groups and interact with them using mobile devices. Churches can also store and manage member data in a centralized repository.
