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.

What do users say about MinistryPlatform?

Users think MinistryPlatform offers strong customization options, allowing them to tailor the user experience and connect information across ministries. They appreciate its compatibility with third-party add-ons and value the flexibility it provides for organizations with technical expertise. Some say the API is robust and easy to use, making integration straightforward.

They report that the interface can be confusing or overwhelming, especially for non-technical staff or casual users. They find navigation clunky, training challenging, and some tasks cumbersome. They indicate that customizing features often requires IT support, and the design feels outdated or unintuitive for some team members.

“We are tracking Safe Environment compliance in MP; eliminating a separate database previously used to do that.”

“It is the most flexible system we have found, and gives us the ability to accommodate the various creative ideas our staff and ministry leaders dream up. Despite the flexibility, the interface is the same for every record type, so once you understand how it works on one page in the back-end, that translates to every other page of the app. ”

Integrations rated by users

We looked at 49 user reviews to identify which products are mentioned as MinistryPlatform integrations and how users feel about them.

Integration rating: 5.0 (1)

It's critical for us because all of our people's data is stored in PCO so we needed that for ease of deployment. However, as I've mentioned previously there are some features with the PCO Integration that I would really like to see added.

Currently, I use this integration for contact management, however, I would like to see it be able to send out text notifications of assigned positions.

The Twilio integration is essential because texting is one of our primary forms of communication with both customers and employees. We use it for appointment confirmations, schedule changes, arrival updates, reminders, and quick responses.

Only way to get the emails to work - The other option they had does not work.
