Every church secretary knows the pain: member info scattered across spreadsheets, sticky notes, and someone's memory. Breeze ChMS was built to fix that. Founded by pastor Jon VerLee, Breeze set out to be the simplest church management software imaginable — and for over 10,000 churches, it delivered.^1
Breeze handles the essentials that keep a church running: people management with custom fields and tags, online and text giving, event scheduling with check-in and name tags, email and text messaging, attendance tracking, volunteer coordination, service planning, forms, and detailed reporting. The web-based platform works on any device, and companion mobile apps on iOS and Android let staff and members access directories, give, and manage on the go.^2
In August 2021, Tithely acquired Breeze, and the two pastor-founded companies began merging into a unified platform.^3 Today, Breeze has been officially rebranded as Tithely Church Management — same simple interface, now integrated with Tithely's giving, custom church apps, websites, and worship tools. Jon VerLee, Breeze's founder, said at the time of acquisition: "Maximizing the impact of the Church is what is most important, and joining forces allows for exactly that."^3
What set Breeze apart from the start was radical simplicity. While competitors built complex systems requiring IT degrees to operate, Breeze focused on getting churches up and running fast — with free data import, free phone and email support, and an interface that even non-technical volunteers could navigate.^2
Why Churches Love It"Breeze has been a great asset to our church and congregation. Especially from an administrative standpoint, it has been the most adaptable and easiest church database I have ever used." — Chris K., Crossroads United Methodist Church^4
"We switched from a major, web-based ChMS to Breeze and our decision is confirmed every day. I had trouble getting any staff to use our previous ChMS but almost all staff are using Breeze." — Ed R., Church Admin^4
"I've used Breeze CHMS with two different jobs now and find it very user friendly. Even for non tech folks. Congregants of all ages and tech abilities give great feedback." — App Store Review^5
