If your church is still juggling paper registers, spreadsheets, and WhatsApp groups to keep things running, Tabernacle was built to replace all of that with one clean system. It's a cloud-based church management platform designed specifically for churches — not businesses — so everything from budgeting to member records to donation tracking speaks the language of ministry, not corporate accounting.^1
Founded in October 2021 by Atoba Longkumer and Vituonuo Suohu in Nagaland, India, Tabernacle was born out of firsthand frustration. As active church members and volunteers, they saw pastors and secretaries drowning in manual processes — handwritten ledgers, scattered Excel files, and expensive Western software that didn't fit Indian churches' needs or budgets. They left their government consulting jobs to build something purpose-made for the local church.^2
The platform covers the core operations most churches need: member information management with detailed profiles and attendance tracking, church-specific accounting with fund allocation and budget planning, online giving so members can tithe from any device, event scheduling, bulk SMS communication, role-based admin access for delegating tasks to your team, and reporting dashboards that turn your church's data into actionable insights.^1 Tabernacle also handles the migration — whether you're coming from paper records, Excel, or another ChMS like Breeze, their team transfers your data at no extra cost.^3
Why Churches Love It"Tabernacle has allowed us to move out of the stone age regarding our membership database, which was previously stored in physical registers dating back 30 years. Now, with the click of a button, we can access information on any of our members, from baptism records to marriage details." — Church Secretary, Spirit of Faith Church^4
"The financial management tools have been a game-changer. Budget tracking is now seamless; we can easily monitor our expenditures and ensure we stay within our allocated budgets.
