Pros

“We are able to provide phone access to multiple staff members and volunteers through their system, and their customer service team is always very responsive when we have issues.”

Pros

“The ability to encourage someone in their spiritual walk while not losing sight of any detail along the way.”
GM

Glen M.

Connections and Communications Pastor

“ChMS is a very substantial church management tool, even when we were using it several years ago before PushPay acquired it”
BF

Benjamin F.

Creative and Communications Director

“It would be helpful if when using the app on a cell phone had the same direct access as a laptop.”

Ministry Lead

Cons

“The pay structure in relation to the features I do and do not use makes it so that I pay a lot for the few services I use, but then have to pay more if I want to use the features I do use to their full capacity.”
DJ

Deidre J.

Founding Pastor

“We found it expensive and cumbersome.”

“The texts were not reliable.”

Cons

“ChMS can go toe-to-toe with the top Church Management Softwares out there, but at the time of our utilization, we were not using the software to its full extent, and that made it hard to justify given the price of the overall tool.”
BF

Benjamin F.

Creative and Communications Director

“Hard to find answers to questions and workarounds at times.”
JP

Jim P.

Adult Ministries Pastor

“We have never used the software at our church, other than the giving, and we don't want to.”
