PowerChurch Plus Reviews

I like that I am able to keep all of my financial records and personal records together in one program. It makes it simple for me to pull a report on anything I need for my job quickly and easily.

The only thing that I can say I dislike is just learning to maneuver through the program but it is not really hard. It just takes a little time to learn where everything is located.

There is a company called Answer to a Prayer that helps set this up for your organization and I would recommend using them.

It has made it a lot easier to keep records of all of our contributions and accounts payable. It saves me a lot of time and helps to make sure all of my reporting is accurate.

We are using PowerChurch Online to keep track of all of our giving from our members as well as an Accounts Payable for all of our bills and expenses. At one time we used this also for payroll, however due to the time it took for one person to keep track of payroll and all that's involved we moved to outsourcing payroll.

Possibly the one drawback for PowerChurch Online is its speed. Since it is all webbased there is some drag in the network when you are inputting information into the databases. Also there seems to be way to many menu options that it becomes hard navigating to the correct page or pages.

The problem that we have solved with this software is it's ability to cover al expenses required to maintain and run a church ministry. This can all be handled by one person that only works a few hours out of the week.

The ease of use for admins and the ability to pull from a variety of other platforms. There are numerous reports that are built in that make it extremely easy to find the members that are missing at different times throughout the year according to their giving habits. Also you are able to create custom reports to achieve needs based on what is happening at different times of the year sort of like running graphs or bar charts.

I wish this were able to allow for more custom reporting from the expenses. The expenses part of the program is where it is lacking compare to some of the other software companies that are similar. However, this is only a small issue that is easily resolved with accurate reporting and inputing of infomration.

Make sure that you have all of your information ready to be input when you transition to this program. They do offer services where they will take the infomation from your old programs and move over to this software, however that is at a cost that you can save by doing it yourself if you have the time and the information.

Gives us one platform that we can monitor and control all incoming and outgoing monies. There are many more benefits of using this program that we haven't even tapped into yet. Once we achieve full implementation it will erase the needs of having multiple programs.

The ability to track everyones giving over a timer period for trends.

There are way too many tools in this software that the normal church won’t need.

Be sure that if you are going to pay for this that you use all the tools available.

Keeps everything in house especially our spending and bills.
